Critics Consensus

The simple story is a little short on laughs, but there's plenty of sweet wackiness for Pee-wee Herman fans to enjoy.

We should've had a new Pee-wee movie years ago; this one's a tad uneven, but all in all, it'll do.

The adventure which ensues has as much nuttiness as you would expect, even if it lacks the innovative governing vision that Burton brought to the original.

Reubens and company have carefully crafted 99 minutes of kooky new material that will make you feel like a kid again.

3/5

An appreciation of Reubens's kitsch-loving schtick is an advantage but not essential as there are some big laughs to be had along Pee-wee's journey, not least a comedy masterclass in the art of balloon deflation.

3/4

A better Pee-Wee sequel than Big Top, this film taps into the absurdity and child-like charm from Big Adventure.

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom

I love this movie. I wish we had more Pee Wee movies before Paul's passing. Its a simple fun little movie that doesnt take itself serious and anyone of any age can watch.

There is just no one to take the reigns from Paul Reubens. I'm just going to have to watch this, the first Pee-Wee movie, early Steve Martin, and Airplane on rotation in my retirement while I yell at kids to get off my lawn.
