What Parents Need to Know
About Big
Parents need to know that this movie came out before the PG-13 rating, so it earned a PG rating. However, if this movie were released today, it would almost certainly be rated PG-13. There is some strong language and some sexual situations. A child forced to grow up too quickly is exposed to corporate life, sex, and other adult matters.
