To think the movie BIG is horrific?

[MommaGee]

Watches it today, first time in years.

He makes his wish blah blah blah then basically runs away from home and leaves his mom to think he's been kidnapped. He ends up on a milk carton so obviously police etc involvement. No doubt a national campaign for his return.

The beat friend goes along with it despite the fact he must have some idea of what's going on at home re campaign.

He gets a job with very little OD but hey its the 1980's and then clearly has sex with one of the female characters just after he's turned 13.

She thinks he's more mature than the previous guys she's been with which speaks volumes about their opinion on men.

When he finally gets the guilts, its his school and friends whom he see's and who male him feel nostalgic, not his mom.

When the Police interview him to see where he's been for months what will he actually tell them??

I think it's a harrowing film. It's based on a true story

[Empress13]

You need to get a life !!

[ZaZathecat]

Are you sure you're thinking of the right film Naze?!

[PopGoesTheFuckingWeasel]

A wizard did it! SORT of see your point...but it makes for good crap Christmas viewing...and the Big Piano was what inspired me to start playing!

[eurochick]

Yeah, it definitely happened, just like that.

[lanbro]

It's an 80s comedy! Harrowing?!!! Daft more like!

[EZA15]

TheNaze I heard the same - was in floods of tears when I saw it

[SawdustInMyHair]

I heard they had to delete a lot of the worst bits to get the PG certificate.

[Maverickismywingman]

Don't watch Turner and Hooch then

[dementedma]

Sheesh!
And every other movie is true to life!

[SquiffyAtBreakfastOnEggnog]

I blame Zoltan

[OneWithTheForce]

I find it really creepy TBH. She has sex with someone who very clearly doesn't have an adult mental age. I posted about it a year or so ago after watching for the first time as an adult and many felt the same.

[Northernlurker]

I feel very sorry for Susan. She finds what she thinks is a decent man and then discovers she's had sex with a child and loses the relationship. Terribly sad.

[RoganJosh]

I wonder if two different films are being discussed here?

[Mari50]

the naze hahah

[ghostyslovesheets]

that's not even THE WORST bits of the story

later version include all the stuff about him being kidnapped by pirates, running across America and fighting in WW2

poor kid :(

[RubyWinterstorm]

I know, harrowing...

[PopGoesTheFuckingWeasel]

Are we actually talking about the Tom Wanks movie here?

[PopGoesTheFuckingWeasel]

Fuck me running...HANKS!!!! Autocorrect!!!!

[Sparklingbrook]

I always thought it was based on a true story. Like Back to the Future was too. And Mannequin.

[NapoleonsNose]

Big? True story? WTAF?
