Pee Wee S Big Adventure | Year: 1985 Classification: Comedy Actors/Actresses: - Elizabeth Daily - Paul Reubens - Phil Hartman - Tim Burton FABULOUS! One of the best cult classics ever! This fantastic film Pee Wee's Big Adventure can be enjoyed by all ages. The directorial debut of one of the most influential directors in Hollywood: Tim Burton and an excellent tour de force performance by Paul Reubens as Pee Wee. This wacky adventure begins with Pee Wee's discovery that his beloved bicycle has been stolen. After receiving phony info from an even phonier(phonier? not a word, but it works!) fortune teller, he sets off in search of his bike, which is supposedly in the basement of the Alamo. Off he goes on one of the funniest adventures ever captured on screen. Paul Reubens is brilliant as Pee Wee Herman. Elizabeth Daily makes a wonderful Dotty, Pee Wee's would-be love interest. Mark Holton is great as Francis, as well as Diane Salinger as the wanna-be French waitress Simone. Judd Omen makes a great escaped-con Mickey, who is the first to help Pee Wee out on his journey. Also good are the small cameos by such stars as Ed Herlihy, Cassandra Peterson(TV's Elvira), Alice Nunn, Toru Tanaka, Carmen Filpi, James Brolin, Morgan Fairchild, Milton Berle, and the best cameo of all, SNL's Jan Hooks. Beautifully directed by Tim Burton, this movie was also written by Reubens and the late Phil Hartman, who, if you look closely, makes a small appearance in the final scene as a reporter. Definitely a must-see. Large Marge Sent Me... ...and she said that if you don't get this feature-packed DVD, you'll be missing out on a real treat! We all know the film is funny and inspired: Mr. Reubens and Mr. Burton made magic on a budget. But this picture holds up like Miss Yvonne's hairdo and the generous additions take full advantage of the DVD format. The commentary by the star and the director is quite casual and down-to-earth. No pretense here. It's as much a treat to hear them covet certain props and reveal which they "kept" after the film as it is to learn how Tim Burton got the director's job. There is also an interesting, informative piece that features production sketches set to commentary from the set designer. Extremely cool. Danny Elfman also talks about his memorable score on an isolated track. The salvaged bits in the "Deleted Scenes" section are a bit rough visually but worthwhile nonetheless. Cool DVD interface, too. Your money will be well-spent on this. Paging Mr. Herman, Mr. Pee-wee Herman... A one-of-a-kind classic comedy It is really such a shame about what happened to actor Paul Reubens and his alter-ego Pee-wee Herman. This is an absolutely delightful, one-of-a-kind classic comedy. The follow-up film, Big Top Pee Wee, while it has it's moments, can't possibly even begin to compare. As one film critic said of this film at the time it was released, just leave your sanity at the door and enjoy it!!
