Smile through the whole thing


Watched the originals (TV and movies) when I was a kid - loved them. Appreciated this one just as much. They really got the humor, silliness and clean fun down in this new take. I didn't feel like they were trying to "remake" it or make it more modern, which really works. It's totally within keeping of the spirit of Pee Wee.

And of course - Pee Wee! What a character. Paul Reubens has hardly aged - kind of a miracle. It's like he was plucked out of the 80s and put straight into this movie. Who couldn't love him?

Brought up some great feelings of nostalgia. Smiled throughout the whole movie.

If you loved Pee-Wee growing up, you'll dig this little gem.
