There were many of us who only liked the ballads of the 40's and 50's, that were often used in this movie, with it taking some of us a long time to also appreciate rock. If you fall into this category and enjoyed the overdone comedies of the 40's and 50's also, you should not only enjoy it, you may even relate to what's happening. I had reached the point of liking it when it was first released, for it brought back memories of those overdone comedies of the 40's and 50's. All who liked "Big" should also enjoy it. At a young 74 in 2009, I enjoyed watching it again on one of the movie channels, for which you pay a little extra, like Showtime. After this many years, I had forgotten some of the plot, so it was in some cases like watching it for the first time. In another ten years or so, should the opportunity arise to watch it again, I'll do this. Should you be watching it with someone who has never seen it, to make it the best for them, by all means do not reveal any of the plot. Last but definitely not least, I as an amateur actor, who understands the deep importance of "feeling the part you are playing", the very beautiful Christina Applegate,in this movie's major role, very effectively plays the different characters she must play.
