Big Top Pee-wee
“Hero. Lover. Legend.”
Certified Crap. CrapScore 59, rated by 1 admin.
Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.
Pee-wee Herman's peculiar farm receives an unexpected visitor when a storm deposits a circus nearby. The opening's storybook farming inventions give way to a broad circus romance. Its slower, sweeter oddness makes it a curious companion to Pee-wee's more frantic first adventure.
