Best movie of this year hands down!

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

I didn't managed to laugh at a movie in long time. This one made me laugh, not with the mouth up to my ears, but I laughed: the scene with the balloon, at the Amish community. Also the scene in the cave with Grizzly Bear Daniels is funny. The same, the moment with the 9 fat sisters who all want to marry. So, give it a try, maybe you'll laugh too!

I give the movie a 9 out of 10. It's a netflix movie, and with that being said I think it was great. I really hope to see more Pee-wee herman in the near future. I enjoyed the movie, but I love and adore Pee-wee herman so it would be hard not to love a movie that showcased the same Pee-wee we remember. The Pee-wee character is one of the most epic characters of my life time and Paul Reubens creative genius behind the character is unlike what any other actor or character has been in my life time, in my opinion. I watched playhouse as a kid and loved the movies as a kid and always found Pee-wee to be just a timeless character. When the anticipation for this movie started to happen and days before I actually watched it I found myself deep into research about Paul Reuben and his legacy both on stage and in the public eye. I scoured the internet trying to figure out all the gossip and listened to a great interview via NERDIST (aka chris hardwick) as of recently that is just so interesting.Conservative people always found Pee-wee to be odd and that when the trouble with the law stuff happened it was so crippling for the legacy of Pee-wee but in some ways it was so appropriate in shaping an artist. When Pee-wee came out at the MTV music awards in 1991 after the arrest the audience erupted in cheers and support for Paul. I loved the character of Pee-wee as a child, sure as you get older you have to ask yourself, what is the story here. Paul's character of Pee-wee herman is beyond what any artist/actor has done in my opinion. He is an absolute legend and has done something truly beyond traditional acting with the character.Now, the movie, had its low parts. The big hair scene was kind of weird but its what you come to expect from Pee-wee, stuff that is just off kilter and it just works, Pee-wee could get away with any ridiculous scenario and I'd still love it. To me, the balloon scene was absolutely hilarious and I laughed my ass off, maybe I have a tender spot for stupid stuff but I find that stuff to just be total comedy gold. The whole bromance element is so genuinely campy, its like, is this supposed to be a bit of homeroiticism? Just in the same way many wondered about Paul in his personal life and his sexual preferences, which nobody still knows for sure. It definaltly sets a bit of that tone but then keeps it very like child like innocent hilarious and heart warming. Everyone gets so up and arms about suggestiveness and I definaltly wondered but seeing what was done from an artistic perspective is just so genius to me, it just hints on all kinds of innocent flirtyness whether bromance or the romancing between Pee-wee and Bella. How can you not love Pee-wee.Ultimately , I think it could have been better sure but with it being a netflix film and being the first Pee-wee movie in SOOO long I thought it was amazing. Pee-wee doesn't look old or sound much different, he looks the exact same, its the same heartfelt, silly adventure type scenario we loved from before. I really hope they make more and Pee-wee continues on. Amazing, the legacy of Pee-wee. Paul's vision and artistry has always been and continues to be just absolutely amazing.

Pee Wee's Big Adventure had its share of charming, memorable scenes, frequently putting me inside of the child's mind. It was a movie going further than Orson Welles' own masterworks to demonstrate the great auteur's definition of film as "a ribbon of dreams." Pee Wee never strains to achieve a willing suspension of disbelief: he puts us in that state effortlessly and without apology, allowing us to see the movie-making process from conception through implementation through the final effect--which is not a semblance of reality or an imitation of life. Instead, the show is what it is: a movie less like the movies we remember than about the total belief we recall having in the films we loved as children--movies we trusted to renew our imaginary connections every Saturday afternoon.Any limitations in the previous Pee Wee films are forgiven with the arrival of "Pee Wee's Big Holiday." Even some 20 years after "Adventure," "Holiday" retains the weird, nerd-like, indeterminate child character of the earlier Pee Wee--all of the same wonder, fears, habits, obsessions. But there's a difference: this is a wiser, more educable, more sympathetic Pee Wee who has stepped out of the world of innocence to acquire enough adulthood to make us take his character more seriously, even measuring it against our own "growing." And that difference is due not so much to the persona of Pee Wee, who remains little changed, though how he's reflecting, albeit in the most subtle ways, the maturity and adult awareness of a changed Paul Reubens.The framework is classic: the hero's journey, or the Jungian archetype celebrated by Joseph Campbell and taught in virtually all screenplay classes. Not that Reubens is bound to each detail of the plan, but though Pee Wee remains largely "passive," his adventures produce, besides the Rube Goldberg opening and numerous gags and allusions to the movies (specific and general--for example, the early '30's movie starring Kate Hepburn as an aviator who breaks an altitude record ("Christopher Strong") as well as the B movies about glamorous women in prisons (here it's pillow fights that replace more harmful weapons).But there's a difference. Pee Wee has made a pledge to his friend Joe--a very real "manly man" who's having a birthday party to which he invites Pee Wee. As strong as the hero's 20-year endeavor in the original "Odyssey" of Homer, Pee Wee is determined to make it to the Big Apple {NYC} in time to attend the party. Along the way there are numerous "learning" or "teaching" moments which are impossible not to see as semi-autobiographical, an explanation on the part of Paul Reubens himself that simultaneously justifies the meaning of his life, the life of his character, and above all the life of the imagination.The end need not be specifically addressed (I know--no spoilers) except that, as in the original archetype, the darkest night precedes the dawn. Pee Wee's (and Reubens') redemption is at once an action of grace and of a certain amount of painful commitment on the protagonist's part. And as the archetype demands, the hero's circle is completed when he returns to his rural community of Fairview, not a sadder but a wiser person, having had a relationship that is lasting and real. In the process, Pee Wee's miniature world is exposed: it's the microcosm of the bigger world.Thus, Pee Wee teaches his friend Joe the value of miniaturizing a world as vast and overwhelming as NYC itself, by placing in perspective and gaining ownership of this vast space. And Pee Wee's friend, Joe, gives to Pee wee access to a greater world than that of his child's imagination. NYC is not Fairview's opposite but its projection--in terms of the narrative goal and its much bigger, real life scale. Each world is "indexed" to the other, and the negotiation between the two worlds is required for living life with a balance between artifice and reality, small and great, child and man.But it's Paul Reubens who has come of age--and without sacrificing any of the qualities that originally endeared us to his creation. Pee Wee is still a child-man, but he's grown: we can now gain our first glimpses of "the child that is father of the man." Living, growing, learning--like the movies, it all requires an understanding of "scale."

The artistic heart of any Pee Wee movie is the idea that you're looking at the world through the eyes of a kid again. Everything is bigger, brighter, more exciting, scarier, and new. This is a road trip story, that sets up lots of funny, and usually absurd encounters for Pee Wee to experience. There's no new ground broken here, and that's as it should be. It's a continuation of everything that makes Pee Wee great. I laughed, I snorted, and I smiled the whole time.If you like classic Pee Wee Herman, you'll love this!A fun movie for the kid in all of us!I know you are, but what am I??
