An instant classic and shockingly great follow-up

This one will settle in as a great follow-up and a classic Pee-wee film. I had very low expectations! But was in shock the first time I saw it and laughed more than I have in a while. I watched the second time and found it just as funny. I think Pee-wee fans will be very happy with it. It's weird and cute and yes, Pee-wee is older and slightly more jaded, but his hilarious reactions and nuances are still genuine Pee-wee. Take the story for what it is and don't get caught up in any linear story line based on past Pee-wee movies. Find that inner kid again and enjoy the silliness.
