My girlfriend and I just went to see "Pee Wee" last night. We both felt it was one of the funniest movies we had ever seen. I don't ever remember laughing so much or hearing other people in the audience laugh so much as I did last night. Although, as we were leaving I did hear one couple say it stunk. If anyone can just look at Pee Wee Herman and laugh then this movie is definitely for you. His mannerisms alone are worth a good laugh and add to that some of the gags (especially the one) and you've got a very funny movie (nothing like his "I'm the luckiest boy in the world" fiasco on HBO a couple years ago). > I don't think that Pee Wee compromised his integrity enough to make > this movie a box office smash.

As a matter of fact the people behind the ticket window were telling everyone how funny it is. I have to agree it was well worth the $4 per person to get in. Joseph M.
