All twelve-year-old Josh Baskin (Hanks) wants is to be big. But when his wish is granted beyond his wildest dreams, Josh finds a new face in the mirror...his own, at age 30. Now, aided only by his boisterous best friend, he'll have to keep the secret of his true age as he tries to fill his own oversized shoes. But as his innocent charms help him rise to the top of the adult world, Josh will face the biggest decision of his life — return to his own age, or remain big forever.

My Thoughts:
I wanted to check this one out again after recently upgrading to the Blu-ray release. This is a movie I have always enjoyed quite a bit. It is just a fun movie to watch. I think Tom Hanks did a wonderful job playing an innocent kid inside a grown up body. Though that shouldn't be surprising... he is good in pretty much all he does. Whether it is comedy or serious roles. The Blu-ray release is much better then the pan and scan DVD I had before getting this one. But how could it not be?
