It’s also mentioned as one of the (very many) runners up in his list of [“Top 10 Movies of 1988”](https://www.rogerebert.com/rogers-journal/the-best-10-movies-of-1988) column that’s on that site, but unlike the other movies in the column, doesn’t link to a review. ---

Perhaps the short title causes it not to appear in search results, such as ones for Tom Hanks movies? I don’t know; I’m just speculating. If I had enough motivation, I would go through the Chicago Sun-Times archives to look for it. The movie date is known, so it would probably require only looking through three or four days worth of content. ---

> [@Darren\_Garrison](#): > > Apparently it does exist. It is quoted [here](https://www.vulture.com/2018/05/how-big-beat-the-odds-to-become-a-beloved-movie.html) Yes, I linked to that Vulture article upthread. But I do remember that on occasion he wouldn’t have a review for a big movie (I followed his review column and other writings pretty closely). His explanation, as I remember, was that these film releases were during his vacations. ---
