Eh submitted by andreahubert on June 29, 2012, 10:40pm This movie was kind of stupidly funny.

Fun submitted by alumeng.ajl on July 20, 2012, 3:29pm This movie was quirky and cute and funny. I liked it.

Bikes, Clowns, Dinosaurs, and Biker Bars submitted by Spectacular Reference-Man on July 15, 2013, 9:31am This was one of my favorite movies when I was a kid. It had great comedy, great action, and some scares along the way. Probably wouldn't recommend it from the young ones, but anyone 10 or up should enjoy this classic.

I know you are... submitted by crazypockets on July 24, 2013, 12:47pm How did I never realize this was a Tim Burton film? It makes so much more sense now...well, sort of. I used to love this movie as a kid and still do. It's completely ridiculous, but so so much fun. There are some scary moments that used to get me when I was really little, but now it's just funny. There are lines from this movie that I'll remember forever. What kid wouldn't want Pee Wee's awesome house, too? I think the best part about it for me as a kid though was that Pee Wee was like a kid, but he could go anywhere and do anything just like an adult could. He was so free to have the adventures we all wanted to.

Classically funny submitted by xiwang on July 26, 2013, 4:22pm This movie had those good old fashioned laughs that you sometimes love.

hm submitted by unknown on July 31, 2013, 2:03am I thought this movie was dumb. But I still liked it. Kind of funny.

Eh submitted by gardenfaerie on August 23, 2017, 6:32pm I checked this out because it was a clue in the Summer Game and I realized I'd never seen anything Pee Wee Herman-esque. In retrospect, that would have been fine. Loved the Danny Elfman music but found the character trying.

Goofy funny submitted by KidBlue on November 10, 2018, 8:28am Pee-wee is one of the most original and funny characters to come along in comedy in a long long time. Loved it.

Odd submitted by maureenannarbor on June 28, 2020, 5:51pm I tried to watch this with an open mind, but it was just very odd

As Good As It Was submitted by jibkidder on June 15, 2022, 7:36am Still as strong as it was 40 years ago!
