Big (1988)

An American comedy directed by Penny Marshall, starring Tom Hanks, Robert Loggia and John Heard.
A boy makes a wish  on a carnival game to be an adult and it comes true. He is forced into the adult world without growing up first, but finds a job at a toy company.
Not bad. Everyone knows this for the foot piano scene. Film critics thought this was great, but I think it's a little too vapid to be really great. It is entertaining to watch adult Tom Hanks act like a kid in adult situations, but that's as far as it goes. The game that young Josh is playing at the beginning is not real. It was just a video or a still made for the movie. Another memorable scene is adult Josh eating tiny corn at an office party. That corn comes in the local Chinese food here and is really good. I rate this o.k. and clearly have nothing interesting to say about it.
