This is a retconned Pee-wee where it seems he never had the grand adventures where he looked for his bike or joined the circus. Follows many beats of the original film with some degree of success.
One of the very few times Netflix got it right when resurrecting an existing IP. But mainly because Big Top Pee-wee was so awful that there was really no where to go but up. So although the bar was set low, this genuinely really good third outing cleared that hurdle with ease.
It was entertaining to see him on the big screen again. I really enjoyed this! Would like to see another one soon!

Pee Wee makes friends with actor Joe Manganie (True Blood) and is invited to his Birthday party in NYC. Which leads him on an adventure away from home for the first time "which ignores that he was out of town in Pee Wee's Big Adventure." Where he meets many other oddballs on the way of course.
Pee Wee's friendship with Manganie is where the charm is and most of the laughs. The movie isn't Oscar worthy of course but it is a more watchable made for Netflix flick than Ridiculous 6 at least.
My 12 yr old niece loved it. She said every movie should be like it lol.
