Friday Night Flix

Big (1988) At some point, most children have this one wish – to be “big.” Well, what if that wish came true? In this charming fantasy-comedy, a 12 year old boy makes that very wish at a carnival machine and wakes up the next morning in an adult body. But here’s the catch: On the inside – he’s still 12. Tom Hanks navigates this “dual role” with comic perfection. The scene where Hanks taps out “Heart and Soul” on the FAO Schwartz foot piano is now the stuff of legend… And precisely why we go to the movies.
