Shimmy Shimmy Cocoa Pop submitted by ejk on June 23, 2011, 3:44pm I loved this movie growing up and it was so fun sharing it with my kids. I have to admit it was different watching it as a parent than as a kid. But Tom Hanks still delivers a great performance.

great movie submitted by jszchen on August 25, 2011, 9:09pm I loved this movie and how he grew up

Hilarious submitted by andreahubert on June 30, 2012, 10:21pm This movie was great. It's a different perspective to watch as a child and then as an adult. It's always a fun watching experience with this movie.

BIG! submitted by crazypockets on July 19, 2013, 5:02pm I agree with ejk that it's a much different experience watching this as an adult. I was a fan of this growing up, but I probably didn't get about 75% of the jokes. Why did my mom think his white tuxedo at the corporate party was so funny? Now that I'm older, it's enjoyable on a whole other level!

Stood the test of time! submitted by Juliettie on July 1, 2014, 1:41pm Showed this to my 9 and 6 year old boys last night. Forgot about the one f-bomb (oops!), but otherwise I was comfortable with it. It was amusing to see what my kids "got" and what surprised them. They were totally shocked at the smoking in the workplace...and that was less than 20 years ago!

Love this submitted by Miloman on July 1, 2014, 1:42pm My mom let us watch this and it was super funny. I want to live in his apartment. It was awesome.

Big submitted by SBNB on July 30, 2015, 9:50pm Fun movie. I saw this quite a few times when I was a kid.

super fun movie submitted by Jackie77 on August 20, 2015, 8:37pm Great movie for kids and adults. Tom hanks wishes he was big..a grown up. The wish comes true and he quickly realizes it is better to be small...young. he winds up on a journey to find a reversal. Love the lifesize foot piano scene.

Awesome submitted by kelleyc on August 16, 2016, 10:18am They just don't make movies like this anymore! I think it's a total classic. Hilarious.
