Pee-wee's Big Adventure (1985)

Synopsis: Pee-wee's bicycle is stolen and he will do anything to find it. 

Appraisal: Generally labeled as a kid's movie, it is actually enjoyable by people of any age, provided of course one gets in tune with its quirky style of humor. The main character is unlike anyone else on film or TV (where it originated), an adult with a child's mind, or something like that. The action is punctuated by gags, and evoke the spirit of old cartoons. The film is almost always funny and original, and is worth watching. There was a second Pee-wee film called "Big Top Pee-wee" that I enjoyed also. 

Rating: 60
