Badly acted, unfunny, yet another feature film bringing the silly boring jokes from the 70s cartoons.

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.

I have been a Pee Wee fan ever since his Broadway show back in the '80's. Part of the reason I liked him? That would be his crazy, highly imaginative world that seemed to be, especially back in the day, so accepting of others eccentricities and differences. I enjoyed the first half of his most current movie. He hasn't changed a bit, and that's a good thing in many ways. His humor is classic. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." That's why I was very surprised, hurt, and extremely put off when in the middle of this fluffy, happy comedy, one of the most mildewed, putrid tropes is dragged out of circa 1910 and aired out for no particular reason than to inspire actual cruelty and eat up time. Hey, all you fat chicks! Guess what? It's still totally OK to see you as a one note joke the hero is desperately trying to escape! You are OK with that, right? I mean, just because it's 2016 and there's a strong movement to see you as actual people with talents, dreams (Besides getting married) and personalities doesn't mean we can't depict you as a highly insulting stereotype, right? I'm guessing this was in the writers head as he wrote this tired, sad, and ugly part into the movie. It's 2016, guys. Big girls go out on real dates and have real lives and actually don't appreciate being depicted as a monster. Otherwise, it's an OK film. Next time, Mr. Rubens, leave the humor juvenile, but take out the mean spirit, OK?

Pee-Wee's Big Adventure is one of my all-time favorites, so I've been looking forward to this one for awhile. From the very opening of the film, we already get a sense that this will take place in a similar realm of surrealism that was used in the 1985 classic. It's a different film universe from Big Adventure, but it gives us the same tone. From Pee-Wee's love for Rube Goldberg-style housing, to the utopian town that he lives in--Fairville--which is populated by less than 1000 residents. It all hearkens back to Tim Burton's vision from the original. But the comparisons don't end in Fairville. The whole film tries to mimic what worked so well in the first movie--which is a good thing. Pee-Wee has never left Fairville before. In fact, I'm not sure anyone really has. So, much like Big Adventure, Pee-Wee sets out on a cross-country road trip with inspiration from Joe Manganiello- -playing a fictionalized version of himself who just so happens to be the cool-guy version of Pee-Wee. You wish for more scenes with the two of them because they oddly have great chemistry with each other. There may not be as many iconic scenes as there are in Pee-Wee's Big Adventure, but the ride is just as entertaining. The silliness is still there, even if the lines aren't quite as memorable. But that's what Pee-Wee's all about. His world is meant for us to lose ourselves in. To find that place of innocence and imagination that many of us left with our childhood. In 2016, Paul Reubens' vision for Pee-Wee still holds up. Not much has changed. There are points in the film where you forget that this is a new project. This is truly amazing day for Pee-Wee fans. Hopefully this won't be the last we see of him for another 25 years. He was a big part of my childhood and it's great to see a new generation getting to know the world's most beloved man-child.
