Big (1988) Is Extremely Disturbing If You Think About It Too Much

Ah yes, the family-friendly mildly supernatural vehicle for a young Tom Hanks just breaking his way into feature films from the TV world. We all have such fond memories of Big (1988), but have you ever really thought about the psychological damage inflincted on the characters involved?

And what the hell happened to Josh after the movie was over — a kid who lived as an adult for weeks and had a number of...mature experiences before being shot back into his 10-year-old body? And his poor mom?! And Susan (Elizabeth Perkins)...how does she go on knowing what happened and that she fell in love with a grade-schooler!?! Let's get into it.
