ilovemovies2016 Some of the worst green screen work i have seen to much green screen used through out the film almost screams laziness from the production team script needs a lot of work great for very young kids i understand this is meant to be stupid quirky and strange but at least put a small amount of effort here i understand there is a massive fan base for pee wee but for my this was just terrible (ps my first bad review on imdb)3/10 3 stars just for bringing back pee wee and having the town in the movie

joythirstpop saw this on netflix and began watching, going in with no expectations, not much else to do this particular night, and lo and behold, we literally both cried tears of laughter, peewee really shows his colors as one of the best comedic voices of our time. This may sound like intense praise, but please, just trust me and watch it, you will enjoy yourself. You don't have to be a kid or drugged up to appreciate it, it's not the same ol innocent peewee humor as before. Devote at least 20 minutes to get hooked in and let er rip! It seems as though this movie allowed peewee to really come out of his shell. This isn't your run of the mill peewee. This peewee covers a little more adult themes, and this movie has a DELIGHTFUL effed-up-ness to it. A bit more of an edge for sure but that makes it all the more fun. We really had a great time and were very surprised, talked it about it for a while afterwards! If you liked peewee as a kid, or don't even have any conception of peewee at all, WATCH IT! ENJOY YOURSELF! "Live a little!" One of our favorite movies of our new era! Thank you Peewee!

Idiot-Deluxe Pee-wee Herman: The iconic and ever-funny man-child returns (and it only took 28 years!!!) in thee superbly zany "Pee-wee's Big Holiday". I found this to be nearly as good as "Pee-wee's Big Adventure", nearly. This is an extremely fun and fast-paced comedy (unlike the epic misfire that is 1988's "Big Top Pee-wee") that will make you grin from beginning to end. Just like the almighty first film 30+ years ago, this is an epic "road movie" and he has some utterly hilarious, side-splitting encounters along the way. I won't get into plot specifics just watch it for yourself and marvel at the fact, that Paul Reubens is every bit as convincing as Pee-wee Herman today, as he was in the 80's. I've been a Pee-wee fan since the mid-80's so I can say with confidence that I know my stuff.As hinted at above, Paul Reubens really knows his character and with the exception of a few instances, early in the film, where his voice seems to sound a bit off (to low in pitch) his performance is all but perfect. It's truly amazing how well Reubens has aged over the years, he's nearly 64 YEARS OLD! and yet he still looks the part. Looking as though he's aged only about 15 years, since making the first film over 30 years ago! I find it baffling that some reviewers are saying he's too old looking to keep playing the role. They are certainly mistaken to think that. Indeed, people just like to quibble and bitch, even when there isn't anything to quibble and bitch about - that I've noticed. Cut out the negativity people, because: Pee-wee still has it! A true one-of-a-kind character perfectly crafted and refined by a comic genius.It's too bad Tim Burton didn't direct this movie, but John Lee did a good job none the less. Musically speaking, the soundtrack is effective, but not overly memorable; a shame Danny Elfman also didn't show up for The Big Holiday, because I just adore Danny's Pee-wee music. Apparently one of the guys from Devo did the music and like I say said effective but not terribly memorable, not like what maestro Elfman would have composed. Like many fans, I'm still holding out hope for a grand return of the team of Reubens/Burton/Elfman to some day make the best ever Pee-wee Herman adventure. Hope it happens some day. Tick-tock tick-tock tick-tock - for time is not infinite.In closing, if I were to rate the 3 Pee-wee films, Big Adventure stills reigns as number 1, close behind is Big Holiday firmly in second place, and it beats the pants off the terribly disappointing Big Top Pee-wee the definite loser of the three - it takes the bronze.PS - I have to address this, as it does bother at times, to see just how many people, evidently, do not know how to properly spell his name. Even after !!35 YEARS!! of being in the public eye. It's "Pee-wee" NOT: Pee-Wee or Pee Wee, drop that capitol on the "w" damn-it and don't forget to add the hyphen. Well that's done........and please............KEEP MAKING THESE MOVIES PAUL!

Argemaluco I have the theory that contemporary childish entertainment, full of bizarre concepts, grotesque characters and naughty humor, was originated by two cultural hits of the '80s: Ren & Stimpy and Pee- wee's Playhouse. Both series offered a refreshing alternative to the ultra-commercialized products which used to be popular back then, which were basically toys ads with awful animation (like Community satirized in one of its best episodes). On the opposite, Ren & Stimpy and Pee-wee's Playhouse offered new ideas, overflowing creativity and a sense of humor which was so subversive that their broadcast on Saturdays morning seems unbelievable. For better or for worse, Ren & Stimpy was never able to surpass the "cult" niche, but Pee-wee's Playhouse extended its success to two films (Pee-wee's Big Adventure and Big Top Pee-wee) before hibernating for many years... probably due to certain personal "indiscretions" committed by Paul Reubens, the creator and alter-ego of Pee-wee. However, in this century, Pee-wee resurrected with a successful Broadway spectacle, rumours of a TV spin-off and now another film, in which Reubens puts on the grey suit and red tie again in order to play this perennial child-adult. Unfortunately, I ended up finding Pee-wee's Big Holiday simpleton and boring, completely lacking of the emotions, exuberant humor and runaway greatness of the TV series and the previous movies. Besides, I don't know what audience this film was made for; I really doubt that modern kids, accustomed to the strident caricatures of Disney Channel and Nickelodeon, will get interested in the modest live-action adventures from Pee-wee, while the adults (like it happened to me) will get bored by the insipid screenplay, which closely follows the structure of Pee-wee's Big Adventure, but not nearly reaching the same level of humor and surrealism. Pee-wee's Big Holiday is basically a weak copy, vaguely recognizable due to its general appearance, but without the vibrating color of the original version. The classic road movie formula employed by Pee-wee's Big Holiday puts Pee-wee in contact with a parade of picturesque characters, including three aggressive female criminals, a woman with a flying car, a farmer old man who is very jealous with his daughters, a laconic "woodsman" and an Amish community; and the encounters result in: nothing. The story doesn't progress; it simply jumps from location to location without any structure or purpose. In conclusion, I didn't like Pee-wee's Big Holiday, and I ended up finding it a waste of time. In order to take the bad taste out of my mouth, I will re-watch some old episodes of Pee-wee's Playhouse (which are available on Netflix), in order to re-encounter with those wacky characters and manic sense of humor which made that TV series so unique.
