Pee-wee's Big Holiday is a 2016 American adventure comedy film directed by John Lee and produced by Judd Apatow alongside Paul Reubens, the first Pee-wee film to be releasee since 1989's Big Top Pee-wee, the film follows Pee-wee Herman, who gets invited by famous actor Joe Maganiello, for his birthday party.

Plot
After meeting Joe Manganiello, Pee Wee Herman leaves his hometown and goes on the first holiday of his life to New York to celebrate Joe's birthday party, before getting caught up in wacky hijinks and trouble as he travels across the country.

Why It Rocks

 * 1) It brought back the charm Pew-wee's Big Adventure had, and also had the franchise return to it's roots after the disastrous Big Top Pee-wee.
 * 2) The idea of Pee-wee Herman getting invited by a famous actor and going on an adventure to his house is a kinda neat concept.
 * 3) Pretty funny moments like the scene where Pee-wee entertains the Amish by making his balloon make squeak sounds loudly.
 * 4) Mark Mothersbaugh's soundtrack is amazing, and also sounds a lot like Danny Elfman's classic soundtrack, which is kinda cool.
 * 5) Pretty nice visual effects for a Netflix film.
 * 6) As always, Pee-wee Herman is still a likeable character, even if he's annoying to some people.
 * 7) * Likewise, even other characters, including Joe Maganiello, are still likeable.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) That scream Pee-wee makes is extremely annoying, though it's justified since he's supposed to be annoying.
 * 2) The dream sequences aren’t as scary and are also weird, especially when compared to the original film's dream sequences.
 * 3) * Also, speaking of which, the dream sequences unintentionally almost gave everyone an implication that Pee-wee is gay.
 * 4) The film somewhat feels like a rehash of the first film alongside Mr. Bean's Holiday, as both are movies where the character goes on a big adventure while encountering strange moments, heck, even the title also sounds like a mix of the first two!
