Pee-Wee + farm life + the American Circus = hilarity!
I love this movie because I love Pee-Wee, always have and always will. This movie puts Pee-Wee in a role that we haven't seen him in before: living on a farm with a talking pig and really cool secret agricultural science lab. He takes good care of his animals and he likes to go on dates with his girlfriend. Yes, Pee-Wee has not only one but two love interest in this movie, and he proves that he can get busy with the best of them. The townsfolk are old and crabby but Pee-Wee doesn't let that dampen his spirit. During a storm, the circus lands on Pee-Wee's farm and that opens up a whole new world to his life on the farm. This film includes some debut roles for actors Benicio del Toro and Valerie Golino. With original music by Danny Elfman and Kris Kristopherson as the circus master, Big Top Pee-Wee is a Big Hit for Pee-Wee fans! Long Live Paul Reubens!

Big Top Pee-Wee: Belongs in a Freak Show All Its OwnReview created: 01/07/06

Pros:
The four lead characters, Vance the talking pig, and a circus.

Cons:
Those few pros don't redeem the myriad amount of poor qualities that dominate the movie.

Gather around! Gather around! Come one, come all, and feast your eyes upon the malignant atrocity I have discovered. From venturing through the wild armies of consumers that trampled the ranges of Best Buy, and upon aisle five of the DVD department, I found a specimen of abnormality resting amongst a collaboration of other bargain DVDs. This, my friends, is a spectacle that is not only capable of casting horrors upon viewers by its inane nature, but would make old fans weep as they question 'Why?', and cause the boldest of critics cringe by the movie's failure of execution. You are all...

It was a very sad when Pee Wee died the death of the publicly stupid. Although Paul Rubens has done some interesting and amusing films/roles since Pee Wee, none of them have had the charm of Pee Wee. However, the most unfortunate part of it all, is that we lost Mr. Herman before we got another great film out of him. Sadly, Peewee's Big Top isn't a great film. It has a few great moments, but it falls quite short of "Big Adventure." After "Adventure", I walked out of the theater chuckling. It's one of those films that I consistently remember and laugh. The film was incredible. With more stupid..

TheHorrorMan's Big Top Pee-Wee ReviewReview created: 04/22/06

Pros:
The same comedy we'd expect from Pee-Wee Herman

Ok, I admit it. I am a huge Pee-Wee Herman fan! I own the complete Pee-Wee's Playhouse series, Pee-Wee's Big Adventure, and this gem of a film... Big Top Pee-Wee. For fans of Pee-Wee's Big Adventure, "Big Top" may be a let down. For instance, Pee-Wee's house is completely different, his bike is no where to be seen, and there is no Large Marge. However, we do have a talking pig, a traveling circus, a hot dog tree, and yes... Pee-Wee Herman the base of a love triangle! As for the plot, this could have been called "Pee-Wee In Oz." Pee-Wee is living a peaceful life on a farm with his talking pig..
