It is a film where a 13-year-old boy and 30-year-old man experiences body-swaps following a wish made by the boy. The situation soon starts going out of hand because the boy – played brilliantly by Tom Hanks – is unused to being an adult man. Though the film begins with the usual scenario – no one believes the boy when he tell them that he has become a man overnight etc etc – but it falls into a deeper tone quickly enough. Marshall was known to make the two actors spend time together so that Hanks could observe how the younger actor would react in certain situations and play it out in the film.
