Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated

Freaktana A Major Disappointment

FrogGlace In other words,this film is a surreal ride.

Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

gkeith_1 Spoilers. Observations. Opinions. Great. A children's show? Not really. Humorous parts. The whole thing, really. Lots of chuckles. I miss this show. Later, I recognized Laurence Fishburne as Cowboy Curtis from the Playhouse. I liked Jambi and Chairry. I liked Miss Yvonne. She was always dressed up all fancy, with quite the exotic huge beehive hairdo. Then there was Pee Wee himself. He was well groomed, but his clothes were a little too tight. He looked a little smarmy, sort of like an overgrown child trying to be grown up but somehow never quite making it. He was very kind, however. Imagine my surprise when I later saw Paul Reubens as a monkey hunter in the film, Dunston Checks In. Reubens, in real life, did some bad things. His Playhouse was cancelled, but later he got back into acting. I am a degreed historian, actress, singer, dancer, makeup artist, film critic and movie reviewer. I always loved the Playhouse. There is no shame in this. I also loved Howdy Doody and the Mickey Mouse Club, two fabulous TV shows from my childhood.

Danny Blankenship Growing up as a child I had fond memories of Saturday mornings on CBS watching Paul Reubens in the excellent and new creation "Pee- Wee's Playhouse". His show was certainly different and it entertained and made children laugh in creative ways with creations, characters, and sketches, that only Pee Wee himself could have thought of. As everyone who watched remembered it was hugely successful running from 1986 thru 1991. Reubens himself was the character of Pee Wee a name he chose years earlier from being on a comedy stage. And he always on the show would have a magic word that when was said everyone would scream real loud! And his friends and characters were unmatched with the animated penny clips and visits from the king of cartoons. Plus stop by visits were common from Cowboy Curtis, Ms. Yvonne, and Reba the mail lady. Now for the different and wacky friends that Pee Wee had first you had Globey who would always spin around and alert Pee Wee of places to go, then magic screen was a digital delight and always on a fly by was the mean green bird Pterri and last but not least the most loved character was the plush and comfortable sitting talking couch named Chairry as it would love and squeeze on Pee Wee so much! It just brings back so many memories it was an excellent childhood show for kids that was different and unique with just so much wacky things and wacky happenings the "Playhouse" of Pee Wee's is a classic gem that's unforgettable!

goddesseris-1 Even though I was in my thirties, I loved PeeWee's Playhouse. I would party until dawn, come home and set my alarm, sleep a few hours, get up, alter my attitude, watch PeeWee, then go back to sleep.I cannot even begin to explain why I loved it, but I did get married in a Miss Yvonne dress.If it were on today, PeeWee's little indiscretion would have happened at his home while watching a DVD. How unfortunate for us that it was not.There was not a character on the show that was not, in their own way, totally camp. The decor was akin to a retro nightmare, decorated by a five year old. I wanted Chairy as my own, or at least a viable copy

stanfield Unlike most of the others commenting, I was in University by the time Pee-wee's Playhouse came along. One year I had a roommate who had this strange habit of hitting the record button while he channel-surfed. It was probably stranger because of the fact he was usually in an "alternative" state of mind while doing so, but... One night/morning he caught a snippet of the show. There was a bit with Pee-wee where he introduced a cartoon. Not a big deal, but the cartoon itself we rewound and watched over and over and over. We would rewind and watch it in frame advance with our jaws hanging open. All that it was, as near as I can remember, was a little kid running through a cave with blue walls. But in slo-mo you could see that the walls of the cave were made up of sketches of Ronald Reagan and sayings like "USA #1". Nobody else I've ever told this story to has ever remembered this cartoon, but it still creeps me out to this day...
