In the sequel to "Pee Wee's Big Adventure", Pee-Wee Herman (Paul Reubens) is a simple farmer in a small town. But after a big storm blows their way, a circus ends up at Pee Wee's farm.There are things to like about this film, like the talking pig and the screen debut of Benicio del Toro and Dustin Diamond (both in very small roles). You also have some bigger names in bigger roles, though why they signed on to this is something of a mystery.Not that the film is terrible, but it really has no plot. We just have a circus, Pee-Wee as a womanizer, and some random silliness. No real story. And apparently no connection whatsoever to the first film, which seems completely bizarre. What happened to all those characters? Why does Pee-Wee suddenly live on a farm where he studies botany?

After enjoying the surprisingly-fun "Pee Wee's Big Adventure," I was happy to give this this a look. Well, one out of two ain't bad, I guess. That first movie was good; this was not. However, the first 10-15 minutes was prime-time Pee Wee Herman weirdness with some very funny dialog and scenes. I thought I got lucky two times in a row but, alas, the story then concentrates on romance between Pee Wee and a circus lady (Valerie Golino). The romance with Golino takes up some much of the rest of the film that the humor goes by the wayside. Hey, the romance is sweet in a way and Golina is pretty woman but I watch this weirdo (Herman) for his outrageous humor not for his romantic stories. Puh-leeeeeze! Speaking of beauty, Penelope Ann Miller also is in here. She and Golina both have beautiful faces, but what's with the teeth? Can't these actresses afford an orthodontist?

This Film finely documents Paul Reubens' downward spiral into the perverse. This "family film" contains more sexual innuendo than Pippy Longstocking fan fiction. It's not the original masterpiece, but hilarious none the less. It's the commitment that counts. Never is there a moment of doubt that they might be creating something that is false or contrived. It's odd and quirky and they stick by it all the way. It brings back memories of Pee Wee's classic "kids show", based on the live performance tape that is sick and awesome. Long live Paul Reubens, despite his short lived game show "You Don't Know Jack". And look for Kristofferson's line flub about an hour in. He's addressing the Circus folk and specifically 'Snowball'. Watch it!

I love Pee Wee's Big Adventure, the one in which Pee Wee Herman travels to Texas and California in search of his stolen bike and I bought the DVD for that adorable and funny movie! I saw this sequel and it's just horrible and I think the only scene that was funny was the scene with Pee Wee feeding the worm to the baby bird even though it was so obvious it was candy, one of those gummy worms. Anyway this movie is not funny and is a major snore fest and I can see why the professional movie critics who I don't always agree with hated this movie. I very strongly agree with them on this one and I have read that even Paul Ruebens (Pee Wee Herman) has admitted he wasn't to pleased with this movie!
