Massive Pile of $hit

What in gods/satans/ the flying spaghetti monsters name was that?????? Absolutely dreadful.

I had a feeling it would be utter gash but I had no idea it would be as bad as it was. The writing was absolutely pathetic and the attempted 'comedy' was just pitiful.

Its a huge far cry from Tim Burtons Pee Wee which I loved/love.

I just don't understand whats so funny about letting down a balloon for what seemed like 5 mins making noises with it??? Or the guy that takes him to the cave and suddenly starts doing stand up comedy?

Pee Wee is fat, his voice sounds completely different and something just didn't sit right with me. Why did Paul wait decades to reprise the role? Desperate for $$$$$ no doubt.

Give this tedious trite turd a miss folks.

You're one of the few people here talking some sense. I could not figure out how this was written, green lit, and then shot before someone said "holy s*** what are we doing?"

PeeWee's Big Adventure was fantastic. I was seven years old when I saw it. I can't imagine kids today liking Holiday at all. Is it for kids or adults? What the hell was the goal here? This wouldn't even pass for a skit on SNL and that garbage is BAD

I watched it at 7 years old as well haha! That movie blew my mind at the time. It was so exciting and new to watch I watched it repeatedly with my friends.

Yeh, no idea why Pee Wees Big holiday was green-lit. Pee Wee is missing his acerbic wit and as far as I'm concerned, the Pee Wee we all knew just isnt there anymore. He had been replaced by this mostly complacent softer Pee Wee.

Learn from this, kids.

The OP inadvertently teaches us, through his rant, about the benefits of managing expectations.

Did you really expect him to look and sound exactly the same after 30 years? Paul Reubens is in his 60s now, not in his 30s anymore.

I grew up watching Pee-Wee in the 80s and I thought they did a pretty good job considering all the time that's passed.

[–] thebogofeternalstench 9 years ago

You're right. I was a little harsh on that aspect.

The truth is man, I LOVE Pee Wees Big Adventure and I couldn't help but feel annoyed and sad seeing an older Pee Wee in such a lame movie that lacked everything from the original. And by this I mean its just so lame. There is no imagination or quirkiness, and the 'humour' is so forced. Like at the Snake shop before he goes in to see 'The Monster' the woman makes him sign the paper over and over and over and it just isn't funny, its annoying!!!

Did anyone pause in confusion as to what the hell was so funny about the scene with the black guys/girls with their stupid big hair?? Then they make him some hair in the shape of a helicopter that actually flies off his head and takes a mans toupee and puts it on a dog? I think I laughed at the utter stupidity of it.

The Farmer Browns daughters scene was devoid of laughs as well. Nothing about that was funny in the slightest.

Like everything else made today, it seemed so rushed and forced and trite.

Geeze. Then balloon skit was about the only part I really laughed at. That had me rolling.

[–] Fawkes_Rocks 9 years ago

It may be bad but he looks exactly the same as he did back in the 80's.

[–] rockethulsey 9 years ago

This was horrible. Everything was drawn out too long. Sign here and here - all those daughters - balloon noises

Joe acting like a fool. Not funny at all. Disappointment squared.

[–] thebogofeternalstench 9 years ago

He didn't really. His voice sounded totally different as well.

At least he doesn't look as bad as Carrie fisher. I honestly could not recognise her in the new Star Wars movie.

[–] Fawkes_Rocks 9 years ago

He looked slightly pudgier. That's it. Still looks like he has barley aged. Just wait until you get old. If you make it that long.

Have you seen what Carrie fisher looks like now? Truly shocking.

[–] Fawkes_Rocks 9 years ago

Yes I have. It's years of alcohol and drugs. But Disney can shed some of those years off. They already started doing so cuz she looked a lot worse before being in TFA.

[–] thebogofeternalstench 9 years ago

She looked like a bag of $hit.

[–] Fawkes_Rocks 9 years ago

Okay we get it...you are an angry judgemental bag of sh!t hiding behind a computer like the rest of the angry bags of sh!ts. But that anger isn't going to lose your virginity faster or make your thoughts and opinions important to the point of popularity and fame. 

Yawn.

I really wanted to like this movie. But OMG, it was bad. And I felt it had a weird creepy pedobear vibe to it, too. There's something not right about the whole thing. It didn't feel like a friendship or bromance with Joe, it was more like a weird pedo thing since PeeWee is supposed to be a boy. I don't know, maybe it's Paul's age now. It didn't work for me.

I didn't think most anything in the movie was funny. None of it was. It just all fell flat. One of the most unfunny comedies I've ever seen.

And he just looks weird dressed in the suit and his face looked like pancake makeup. Nothing worked for me. I just wanted the movie over. It didn't feel the same as the orginal movies. Maybe they were trying too hard, but it just wasn't funny.

Did you cringe at his screaming as well? That really got on my nerves lol. Tim Burtons Pee Wee was a masterpiece. Its really sad seeing this older Pee Wee in such a crap pointless film 30 odd years later.
