It's a bold attempt to do something dazzlingly original, although some of the gags are spectacularly unfunny and Pee-wee's nervous prattling can become irritating.

The film's inventiveness is on display from the get-go.

You have been warned.

A purely creative movie that one must admit has no equal in cinema history (for better or worse). [Blu-ray]

It's a true original -- a comedy maverick that looks and feels like no other movie I know.

Chiefly successful because of its commitment to an artistic ideal: make something that looks, talks, feels, and moves like a cartoon.

Fair warning: this movie could induce terminal boredom in adults and rot the minds of the young.

Burton demonstrates his knack for building seemingly dynamic meta-worlds inside our own world, depicting Pee Wee's own journey as exciting, harrowing, and often times scary.

Tim Burton's first (and best) movie...

Children should love the film and adults will be dismayed by the light brushstrokes with which Paul Reubens (one of three credited screenwriters, but star-billed under his stage name, Pee-wee Herman) suggests touches of Buster Keaton and Eddie Cantor.
February 09, 2010
Reubens always lets us feel superior to his creation, and when his character slips, as it does more than once in this first feature outing, his own condescension shows through.

Fed by comic tributaries perhaps, but Pee-Wee Herman comes over as a delightful original.
