An all-star cast are recruited together to tell the tale of a 10-year old boy whose body grows 4 times that of a normal kid his age.
Robin Williams ('Hook') is great as the title role, while Fran Drescher ('The Nanny') and Jennifer Lopez ('Money Train') are also fantastic. Bill Cosby is also here, as good as ever.
The storyline and scripting is good (nothing great) and the acting is first-class... even the kids have some talent!
A feel-good family film that has some very funny moments and some very sad moments, but all-in-all a really good film. 7/10.
