Everyone is entitled to an opinion. I will say this though. The core value of this film really resonates with anyone who has experienced any form of nostalgia, life passing them by or sensitive to losing loved ones. It represents the one thing none of us can control, time. We all race through it every day trying to identify the new trends as kids or even young adults, hoping to be larger than the next. Society continues to become desensitized and detached from this feelings to a later age, but hopefully everyone who watches movies like this is able to appreciate the message and stop and smell the roses. - @Sunday, November 30, 2014 5:23 AM

What a sweet, colorful, gorgeous, rich and beautiful experience this movie is. Smart , well paced, wonderfully written, has great Billy Idol soundtrack, awesome cast, memorable Zoltar machine, plot that never gets old because we all want to be adults when we are kids, but adult life is not easy as it seems. Movie had heart, it is touching, you will laugh and maybe if you're sensitive cry little bit. It is one of the best movies of the 80's and of all time so with that said BIG deserves big 5/5. - @Sunday, September 14, 2014 1:41 PM

they made a big mistake in this movie....Josh first yells to his mom that his birthday is Nov. 3 and then when his Missing Poster appears on a milk carton, it says his birthday is Jan. 20. I hate when movies don't pay attention to details - @Thursday, July 3, 2014 12:38 AM

The plotline of this movie is the story of my life-Always wanted to be an adult when I was a kid B/C of my shitty childhood, but, as it turned out, adulthood is not as easy (and you can argue, is worse than) childhood, mainly B/C you still get told what to do as an adult. - @Thursday, June 12, 2014 11:17 PM
