5 out of 5 stars Pee Wee's circus   June 25, 2008
Lilly de Nalish (Seattle)
This movie is fantastic. I have, admittedly, always been a Pee-Wee fan and grew up watching the TV show. It came as a surprise to me that I hadn't seen this movie before. It is witty with a lot of great innuendo. Although the movie gets a little slow in the middle/beginning of the end, the end is worth it and the rest is very funny.

It also raises the question: Why does Pee Wee live in a town full of angry old people?



4 out of 5 stars Not as bad as you remember . . .   September 8, 2007
Erik Brown
Nearly everyone gives this follow up to Big Adventure negative reviews; however, if Big Adventure had never been made, this film would have been a much larger success and certainly a fondly remembered movie. Though not as ground-breaking and consistently funny as Pee Wee's first film, this rather slight tale about a farm, a circus, and a tree that grows cocktail weinies has several notable charms, including great sideshow ambience and several bits of Pee Wee weirdness that will appear to adult fans. Basically, if you love Pee Wee, there's practically no way you can dislike this film.


2 out of 5 stars pee wee's first major dissapointment   May 30, 2007
Stalwart Kreinblaster (Xanadu)
3 out of 3 found this review helpful

paul reubens character was one of the greatest comedic events of our time.. From the early variety show, to the playhouse, to the big adventure - pee wee could not lose.. I remember seeing big top pee wee in the theatre - and feeling very dissapointed with a movie that was just not very fun or interesting.. Whereas 'pee wee's big adventure' explored more of pee wees quirkiness (remember the scene with the tape in the bathroom) 'big top pee wee' tried to take the character move him to a different setting and make a sort of romantic comedy.. This is probably where it all falls apart.. pee wee should not be a romantic figure - he is the opposite.. he is best when he remains a sort of neuter or man child.. the second romance enters the picture.. pee wee loses all of his charm and comedy.. there are a few funny moments in big top pee wee but on the whole it falls flat.


5 out of 5 stars Pee Wee is the best   March 27, 2007

I love Pee Wee my kids love Pee Wee and if you don't know who he is you need to get this movie. I wish P.W. would make more!


4 out of 5 stars played in australia!   March 22, 2007
Jeanette A. Nair (Australia)
It was great to be able to surprise my husband with his all time favourite movie from when he was a kid. The movies were in great condition except for the fact that we had to recopy them because it wouldnt play on our dvd player or psp! It was dissapointing and annoying and i had wandered about this when purchasing but couldnt find anything mentioned about 'universal playing' on the amazon site. I've learnt my lesson and wont be buying from amazon again.
