I don’t get it.

Arnie, Stuart, and Jakob are taking April Patrons back to their childhood as they revisit Big – the ultimate coming-of-age comedy. Tom Hanks earned his first Oscar nomination playing a pint-sized 12-year-old boy, who makes a careless wish on a carnival fortune-telling machine, and wakes up in the body of a 30-year-old man.
