DanLally I have mixed feelings about this movie. I did not like any parts that were sexual or disgusting especially the part where he fed some birds. (In this case, I do not feel too comfortable in having the movie viewed by children.) I am not one of those people who is impressed with the portrayal of Pee Wee Herman. The elderly townspeople could have been shown more. Of course, the part where Pee Wee gave them what they really needed (see the beginning of part 9 on YouTube) was excellent and things like that would be great for fun entertainment. This movie basically, involves Pee Wee Herman living as a farmer (the farm has some similarities to his playhouse) who is also working on a faster way to produce organic produce (already successful) and even inventing a wiener tree. Eventually, a circus accidentally arrive due to a bad storm and the plans are made for a performance (maybe later ones too) in the area. However, the older townspeople (who are often grumpy) object to the circus and want it to leave their town. Pee Wee tries to join the circus, but gets into trouble when he has relationships with two women who show some problems themselves with on of them later having four boyfriends and they other giving some excessive kissing at the end that does look a little dirty. The elderly townspeople are obviously not the majority of the population. They are just shown as the only ones around town at times since they are quite controllable. Many of the other townspeople are probably working or doing things elsewhere, but this is not a realistic movie. Anyway, I really like how Pee Wee Herman eventually deals with these older people by giving them something we all kind of need at times.

Léopold M. I've never heard of Pee Wee Herman before a few days ago, as I live in France, where he's just not popular, when I noticed Paul Reubens' performance in Cheech & Chong movies, I decided to look closer for some more piece of exuberance, as I love this kind of eccentric character, and so I discovered Pee Wee's Big Adventure —surprisingly directed by an unknown-at-the-time Burton— and had a really good time watching it. When I saw there was a sequel, I managed to find the DVD, and just watched it a couple hours ago. Coming with the critics now.The first thing to say, if you're a fan of Pee Wee Herman and you're not a kid, you'll just really enjoy that movie. I laughed for real several times, which is not that easy, as I watch about 300 movies of all kind a year -279 in 2008-, so in my opinion, that's a good point. I won't say this is an adult feature, it's just that contrary to Pee Wee's Big Adventure, Pee Wee's character here is more based on a teenager kind, as sex-related humor and scenes are developed here. To say so, Pee Wee has now a stronger sexual identity than in PWBA, where he was just trying to avoid any close contact with the ladies he now goes for them. That part of Pee Wee is really interesting to see on a movie, as you can imagine with the large amount of comedy Pee Wee carries within him. About the structure of the movie itself, well, it's not that great, it misses the genius part making all of scenes unique and important like in PWBA, as this is not a road-trip but a small town based action, plus some characters are just not enough developed to carry the movie further on. For example, apart from the American-Dreamed-face of Kristofferson, and the simple beauty of Valeria Golino, you won't be deeply touched by their story, not interesting or innovating at all. That's to say it could have been any circus-based comedy, with a talking pig for kids and sex-related visual jokes for adult, which wouldn't worth to be seen, if it was not a Pee Wee Herman story —the very limited number of them on the big screen makes it a must to see if you love Pee Wee. In a few words, poorly conceived but fun as a Pee Wee movie can be.

Colton-Dunn This Film finely documents Paul Reubens' downward spiral into the perverse. This "family film" contains more sexual innuendo than Pippy Longstocking fan fiction. It's not the original masterpiece, but hilarious none the less. It's the commitment that counts. Never is there a moment of doubt that they might be creating something that is false or contrived. It's odd and quirky and they stick by it all the way. It brings back memories of Pee Wee's classic "kids show", based on the live performance tape that is sick and awesome. Long live Paul Reubens, despite his short lived game show "You Don't Know Jack". And look for Kristofferson's line flub about an hour in. He's addressing the Circus folk and specifically 'Snowball'. Watch it!

SpikeBuff I love Pee Wee's Big Adventure, the one in which Pee Wee Herman travels to Texas and California in search of his stolen bike and I bought the DVD for that adorable and funny movie! I saw this sequel and it's just horrible and I think the only scene that was funny was the scene with Pee Wee feeding the worm to the baby bird even though it was so obvious it was candy, one of those gummy worms. Anyway this movie is not funny and is a major snore fest and I can see why the professional movie critics who I don't always agree with hated this movie. I very strongly agree with them on this one and I have read that even Paul Ruebens (Pee Wee Herman) has admitted he wasn't to pleased with this movie!
