Description:

A 13-year-old boy named Josh wants, more than anything else, to be "big". And when he makes a wish on a carnival wishing booth his dreams come true: he transposes into the body of a 35 year old man -- though his mind and spirit remain that of a child. Since he can't really go to school looking like an adult, and his mother doesn't know him in his new guise, he heads to New York with his pal Billy, where they proceed to goof off, play around, and act basically like the kids they are. But when Billy leaves, Josh is subjected to the encroaching needs and responsibilities of adulthood, and he quickly discovers both the pleasures and the problems of being grown-up.
A boy asks a mechanical swami at a fair to grant his wish to be grown up -- oops! Luckily his best friend recognizes him and helps him get a job at a toy factory where his fresh, uncomplicated innocence wins the president's respect, his colleagues' envy -- and a beautiful woman's love. Academy Award Nominations: Best Actor--Tom Hanks, Best (Original) Screenplay.

good movie

Every time I get Chinese food, I want to eat the mini-corn like that!!

Look at my image

I loved that movie...I remember how embarrassed I was during that scene when Elizabeth Perkins is trying to get it on with Tom Hanks...I was watching with my mom when I was 6...lol

But that's not as bad as when she took me to go see Private Parts when I was 15...lol.

i like this movie, and i think there's never going to be one like this again, and i wish to be a kid again now, i miss something's.
