Leave your thoughts about Pee-wee's Big Adventure.
| GeekweekLuke Y. Thompson...the movie retains its innocence without being bland, which is a tough balance to pull off. |
| Salon.comStephanie ZacharekEverything about Pee-wee's Big Adventure, from its toy-box colors to its superb, hyperanimated Danny Elfman score to the butch-waxed hairdo and wooden-puppet walk of its star and mastermind, Pee-wee Herman, is pure pleasure. |
| Cinema CrazedFelix Vasquez Jr.Burton demonstrates his knack for building seemingly dynamic meta-worlds inside our own world, depicting Pee Wee's own journey as exciting, harrowing, and often times scary. |
| Groucho ReviewsPeter CanaveseA purely creative movie that one must admit has no equal in cinema history (for better or worse). [Blu-ray] |
| Washington PostPaul Attanasio"Pee-wee's Big Adventure" isn't a movie but a collection of found objects from the garbage heap of low culture... |
| Not Coming to a Theater Near YouLeo GoldsmithBut perhaps Pee-wee's appeal lies precisely in the slightly discomfiting uncertainty of his persona... insufferably giddy, occasionally malevolent, and completely indefatigable; demented, irritating, narcissistic -- and infectiously funny. |
| Boston GlobeJay CarrThe wrong crowd will find these antics infantile and offensive. The right one will have a howling good time. |
| VarietyVariety StaffChildren should love the film and adults will be dismayed by the light brushstrokes with which Paul Reubens (one of three credited screenwriters, but star-billed under his stage name, Pee-wee Herman) suggests touches of Buster Keaton and Eddie Cantor. |
| Chicago ReaderDave KehrWith all these safety features built in, this 1985 film is too well padded to qualify as genuinely radical wit, but in an even-toned, TV sort of way it's mildly amusing and inventive throughout. |
| Antagony & EcstasyTim BraytonChiefly successful because of its commitment to an artistic ideal: make something that looks, talks, feels, and moves like a cartoon. |
