Pee-Wee's Big Holiday

Jack Lee's Pee-Wee's Big Holiday is a charming comeback for Paul Reubens' titular character. Lee and Reubens capture the spunk, camaraderie, and everyday surrealism of Pee-Wee's previous video forays. Reubens seemed like the successor to John Waters with a similar merging of Camp and Day-Glo Americana before his career derailed. Lee, like Tim Burton and Randal Kleiser before him, is not the auteur here, but keeps things rolling merrily. (3/28/16)
