I first happened on this film visiting the Durham Bike Co-op in North Carolina, Pee-wee's Big Adventure totally wackyness made me like it immediately. Co-written by Paul Reubens (the star of the filme) and Phil Hartman, Pee Wee's Big Adventure marks the début of director Tim Burton, who stamps the entire film with his quirky trademark style. The premise: Pee Wee (Reubens), an overgrown pre-pubescent boy sporting a moulded Princeton cut, blush, lipstick, and a shrunken grey flannel suit, lives an idyllic life in his bizarre home (some have compared the remarkable set design to the expressionistic The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari) until someone nabs his most prized possession: a fire engine-red customized bicycle. He then embarks on an epic cross-country search to find his lost love, not to mention more than a little adventure. Pee Wee's Big Adventure is a delightful film, enjoyable for children as well as adults.
