"BIG" with Tom Hanks

Everyone who is young seems to want to be older and vice versa. Everyone wonders what they will be when they grow up. One boy gets to find this out in a way he had not anticipated. A fortune telling video arcade turns a young child (Tom Hanks) into a man. Tom Hanks plays the adult version of the child. He gets a job at a toy company and quickly moves up the ranks from being behind a computer terminal to being in the board room. The reason he moves so quickly up the ladder in the company is because he has the thoughts and actions of a child. It is like a case study. A case study entails intensive investigation of one or more situations similar to the problem at hand. If the toy company is trying to research what types of toys kids are interested in playing with what better way to test toys then on kids? Josh Baskin (Tom Hanks) basically acts like the companies case study without anyone even knowing what is going on. Josh knows what kids will like so that what he invents. Life as an adult is not as easy as it seems though. A girl from work asks him if he wishes to sleep over and he still believes girls are "icky." Hank’s uses an idea for interactive electronic comic books to propel him to a position of respect with the boss of the toy company he works for. This is an example of the case study, because Josh thinks like the child he really is. Most regular adults are too advanced to think what type of toys kids would like. Eventually the big man becomes little again, and can live as a child once more. At least he gets to live as a child knowing what life as an adult will be like.
