I was extremely disgusted when the main character watched his girlfriend take off her shirt, and turned off the bedroom light. Before that scene, a few suggestive jokes were mentioned, and swearing, beer, and other unnecessary comments/actions took place.
Violence (G): The Zoltar machine may be scary to younger audiences.
Sexual Content (PG): Josh puts his hands down Susan's blouse, then Susan seduces him.
Language (PG): s--t g-ddamn one use of f--k
Drugs/Tobacco/Alchohol (G): Susan smokes, Josh drinks some beer.
Well, I saw this movie in class (we were writing movie reviews) and everyone was 9-12. There was only 1 9 and 1 10 year old. I felt really sorry for them when the shirt came off, and also about the joke about him being "on top". Luckily, the rest of us were mature enough to watch sit through "the scene" (which is what we called it) and burst out laughing at the joke. I personally thought that this was one of the best movies I have ever seen, but be aware that children under 12 may not appreciate the whole movie.
You REALLY believe that Hanks really is a kid stuck in an adult's body. The acting is superb and the laughs are very high without being graphic. Plus it's got a great message about enjoying being a kid while you can. They need to make more movies like "Big" nowadays, but sadly nothing can be funny without being R-rated.
Big is a classic and timeless story about enjoying childhood, but 13 year-old boys are very curious about boobs and girls bodies, some talk is kinda graphic. Then there is one scene were a woman takes her shirt off for older Josh and he touches her bra. But great and heartfelt movie!
I liked it, it was pretty funny, but I thought that the whole Elizabeth Perkins romance thing was not really important to the story. I thought it was just for filler and that the focus groups
forced the people in the movie to make a love intrest. Other then that, it was good!
