Hey, school daze are winding down a bit and you can look forward to an early summer DVD marathon party. Or, maybe you need something to keep you awake to study for those upcoming exams. We put together a cool combo for ya: two classic and fun Tom Hanks films, a bunch of classic summer comedies, including the raunchy romps that started it all in Porky's: The Ultimate Collection (hey, this stuff is raunchier than all the American Pie franchise so make sure they are okay for you to watch). We finish up with a new TV fave. Get ready to greet the summer!

From 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment

In this first in a long line of body switching films, 12-year-old Josh Baskin is dying to grow up. When his wish is granted, he wakes up as a very young Tom Hanks! He'll have to keep this problem a secret and operate in the adult world. Turns out, that his child-like charm goes over really well in the adult workplace where he gets a job developing toys. A really cute adult girl falls for him and he has to finally make a decision; go back to puberty or stay... "big".

Video and Audio: The picture features anamorphic widescreen and it looks great. The 25 minutes of added footage (thus the "Expanded Edition" name) fits in seamlessly. You can't tell old from new. Great job on an older film. Audio isn't amazing. But, it's Dolby Digital, and, on a film like this, you really don't need a bunch of dynamic surround sound. You can hear the dialogue fine.
