Truly Dreadful Film

To me, this movie is perfection.

Memorable, crazy movie

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

The Tequila dance scene in the biker bar is my all time favorite scene from any movie. The casting of this movie was excellent, everyone in the movie was great.

Tim Burton's directorial movie debut is a film for acquired tastes. I remember seeing it on television when I was around 5 years old in the 1980s and thinking it was very funny; time hasn't been kind to it since then, however. Pee-wee Herman feels like an American version of Rowan Atkinson's Mr. Bean, although nowhere near as funny.Indeed, Paul Reubens gives such an over-the-top performance of constant mannerisms and tics - not to mention THAT laugh - that he becomes irritating after about, oh I don't know, five minutes. The resultant film, which follows a journey narrative as he goes on a nationwide hunt for his stolen bicycle, is therefore tiresome. For most of the running time I kept thinking about the various run-ins with the law that Reubens has had since, and for some reason I found THAT funnier than the supposed humour here.PEE-WEE'S BIG ADVENTURE isn't a complete mess. Burton's direction feels assured and confident even at this early stage of his career and he certainly puts in a lot more effort here than he did in something like the CGI monstrosity that was ALICE IN WONDERLAND. There are also a handful of funny moments along the way, like the bar dance, although my favourite moment is the excellent homage to the Japanese Godzilla series. A shame the rest of the movie couldn't have followed suit.

This was a fun film I watched when I was a kid back in 85. I never liked the TV Show as much, but then I bought this movie on VHS and now own it on DVD - hope to buy the Blu-Ray in the near future... Anyway, Pee-Wee is one of those classic cheesy films that makes you want to get up and dance towards the part when Pee-Wee was in the bar doing his last dance request! Anyway, the movie is fun to watch on how he has a awesome bike and tries to save it from bad guys and founds out it ended up in WB Studios and they turned the bike adventure into a movie and made Pee-Wee a star of his own film in a film! I just wish the film they made in the end of this movie was real as a 2nd movie adoption. However, it is a fun film for kids and adults at heart who enjoys this for many years to come!

Pee-wee's Big Adventure is a good movie with a well developed storyline and a great comedic cast.The movie is not heartwarming or has anything like character development or an intriguing story,it is simply a funny comedy,and honestly,that's all it really needs to be,it's certainly not one of my favourite movies but I didn't go beyond five minutes without something making me laugh.This movie is the directorial debut of Tim Burton,and he did a great job,he has gone on to prove that he is a great and very unique director,and this very unusual movie was given to the right person to film it.Funny,short and sweet,I would recommend Pee-wee's Big Adventure to anyone looking for a good comedy if they have some time to kill. Pee-Wee Herman sets off across America in pursuit of his stolen bike and gets embroiled in a bizarre adventure.Best Performance: Paul Reubens
