Pee Wee's Big Adventure is a very unique and fun film that I loved as a kid and still thoroughly enjoy as an adult. Our hero Pee Wee Herman goes on a cross country adventure to find his prized possession(his bike) which has been recently stolen. This is the directorial debut of Tim Burton on his first big feature film and as such is a wild, wacky and completely insane piece of demented, yet wholesome family entertainment with colorful visuals, crazy props and a great, totally fitting score from Oingo Boingo member Danny Elfman. Paul Reubens gives a brilliant performance to his character Pee Wee Herman that is an absolute pop culture icon of man child gone bonkers taken off his ritalin and bouncing off the walls from drinking too much Kool Aid for the duration of the film. The other support characters are all memorable and wacky as well and exist in its own fantastical universe. So, join Pee Wee, Mickey, Amazing Larry, Large Marge, Samone and the biker gang Satan's Helpers for a truly profound and insane cinematic experience that is a fun and overall satisfying journey. There is no other movie quite like this and no persona like Pee Wee Herman. This film is an absolute hoot and masterwork of film.

When eccentric man-child Pee-Wee Herman gets his beloved bike stolen in broad daylight, he sets out across the U.S. on the adventure of his life. Pee-Wee's Big Adventure is without a doubt one of Tim Burton's worst films, i was very much amazed by how awful this film was even for someone like Burton who has made excellent movies like Batman, Batman Returns, Beetlejuice and many many more films. The acting was very childish, the main character was down right stupid and annoying and felt like an american rip-off of Mr.Bean just outrageous. The plot of the film was even stupider than the main star itself. Definitely not a film that i can recommend even for Burton Fans. (0/10)

It's Been Ages Since I First Saw This Movie And It's Nice To Know That It Is Still A Funny (In A Silly Way) Movie ... I Believe It Is Tim Burtons Directorial Debut And The Start Of Some Of The Most Famous Music Ever Made For Movies By Danny Elfman ... I Very Much Enjoy (What To Me Is) The Playful Innocence Of The Movie ... A Reminder That Just "Plain Oh" Can Be Enough To Make A Good Movie ...

It's tough to enjoy something when every aspect of the film is strictly aimed at impressing children. Without heart, any sign of intelligence, or a cohesive plot, Pee-Wee's Big Adventure is one big dud. There's nothing here for people over 7 years old.I like Tim Burton a lot. He always brings such a unique vision and style into every film he directs or produces. In fact, Big Fish is one of my all-time favorite films. So when I decided to look back at his filmography in preparation for Miss Peregrine later this month, I was excited to sit down and watch what I hadn't already seen. Sadly, Pee-Wee is lacking all of the nuances that make his later work so special. It's easily one of his weakest films.Of course I was aware going in that Pee-Wee isn't for everyone. In fact, there aren't many Burton films that appeal to everyone, but there has to be some joy in watching a ridiculously silly comedy for 90 minutes right? Or perhaps a side character that will be more memorable than the mess that is Pee-Wee himself? Maybe even a nice message that doesn't totally undermine the unique style of Burton? If I'm being honest, there's nothing redeemable to this story.Pee-Wee apparently owns the world's most sought after bike and it's unfortunately stolen, so he must muster up the strength and devotion to find it, at whatever cost. It's a journey that could have been as good as the legendary trip Ed Bloom took in Big Fish. Or at least as funny as Beetlejuice. I was hoping it would at least poke fun at its insane premise and give us a good laugh or two, but it never hits the way it should. To put it bluntly, these are adults who are playing roles that should be played by kids. It honestly gets to unwatchable point when Pee-Wee constantly gets distracted by every person he meets and spends 15 minutes doing nothing efficient and progressing the story in the absolute slightest.Realistically, it doesn't bother me that this movie is awful. I'm not the intended audience, but nor is it for 99% of the public. I'm sorry Tim Burton, I love your work, but I cannot stand everything about Pee-Wee.-Adults acting like kids-In unwatchable ways-Meandering plot does nothing to benefit story-Absurd premise turns out to be worse than it sounds21/100
