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

Wizard-8 After a number of years of silence, actor Paul Reubens brought back his Pee-wee Herman character for this Netflix exclusive movie. You might think that during all those years of keeping his iconic character out of the limelight, Reubens would have come up with a storyline for a new movie that would be more original, but that's not really the case. This movie's story feels VERY much like the 1985 movie "Pee-wee's Big Adventure", with a number of individual scenes and moments having a strong deja-vu feeling. Even the titles of the two movies have a strong similarity! But I guess what really matters is whether this new movie is funny or not. Well, it moves along at a brisk pace, it's never dull, and there are some genuinely amusing moments here and there, some coming close to the old Pee-wee magic. But quite often the gags feel like weak humor cut out of the script from the 1985 movie. I think another reason why the movie is not as funny as it should be is that director John Lee is no Tim Burton, though in fairness he was working with a somewhat limited budget. I will give the movie this, however: It's better than "Big Top Pee-wee".

Shaun Michael Henesy Peewee's Big Holiday starts Peewee Herman and should have featured him doing Peewee sort of things. The opening sequence of this movie was perfect. Beginning with a blast to the past kind of intro in Peewee's house. I don't have many complaints with the first half of this movie other than it seems a little bit aimless and at times too dumb. I get that it's dumb, but it was sometimes just stupid. Not even funny. The second half of this movie is a complete mess. The majority of which consists of a Peewee and whateverthatotherguysnameis just having some kind of acid trip mumbling incoherent nonsense. I'm not meaning to be too hard on the movie, but it was just dumb. Not enough genuine Peewee happenings. Really just a movie trying to cash in on the name without creating too much original content that's coherent in any way. I will however admit, that the scene with Peewee at the Farmer's house with his daughters house is one of the funniest things I have seen in a long time. You can watch this movie once if you're a huge Peewee fan if you want. Just make sure you're on something.

Kingkitsch What a massive disappointment "Pee-Wee's Big Holiday" has turned out to be. Paul Reubens' man-child creation should have stayed in the 80s and kept it's beloved status and reputation intact. It's a sad thing to realize that Reubens insisted on dragging his idiot boy out of the past and shoved him back into public view. "Big Holiday" is really "Big Bore".A thin and very poor reboot of "Pee-Wee's Big Adventure" (1985), this new movie crawls along at a snail's pace while attempting to emulate the frantic quality of the first film, but without the genius of Tim Burton to direct the lunatic odyssey. There's absolutely no sparkle here, although this new adventure tries to be lively and effervescent. Ninety-nine per cent of the jokes fall flat. The characters aren't drawn well, and who can really believe that Pee-Wee instantaneously bonds with musclebound Joe Manganiello? There's a weird subtext here that pretty much sums up "bromance". A number of vignettes on display are instantly forgettable, such as the business with the farmer's daughters. The squealing balloon sequence goes on too long, and it wasn't funny. It was nothing but filler and is more annoying than anything. Where was Large Marge when you really needed her? Not a damn thing in this shabby attempt to get some last mileage out of the man-child Reubens created is memorable.Paul Reubens is too old for this. He often appears wax-like and spackled to death. There's years of bloat that neither the camera or CG can remove. He appears to be going through the motions with no trace of his original maniac energy. That being said, simply compare the biker bar sequence from "Big Adventure" where Pee-Wee rocks those ridiculous white platform shoes in a bartop dance to the Champs' classic "Tequila". Not one moment in "Big Holiday" can compare. Perhaps it's time to let Pee-Wee go. This viewer only found the whole movie sad and tired. I'd like to remember Pee-Wee in his prime, not this obvious attempt to wring one last dollar out of a truly iconic creation.
