"Big" arrived several years after the advent of the PG-13 rating, but somehow managed to land a mild PG instead.
Similar to "Back to the Future," there’s enough cursing and creepy sexual undertones to make you wonder how that happened. (And let’s forget that Josh’s mom spends the whole movie off-screen thinking Tom Hanks kidnapped her son and calls her basically to rub it in.) Maybe everyone at the MPAA was just too charmed by the dancing piano scene?
