disappointing

the weirdo in the suit is back. He now lives on a farm with a bunch of personified animals (incluiding a talking pig named vance,7 years before babe) if thats not weird enough he has a school teacher for a girlfriend, which is very disturbing cinema to say the least. then just when things couldn't get weirder the circus is blown in to town by a tornado. Peewee meets a buetiful trapeize artist, and suddenly the story turns into this bizarre love triangle.

This movie just flat out disturbed me. Why in gods name some one decided to make a love story about peewee? not that I don't like peewee, I think he's great. Peewees big Adventure was a great movie. But watching him make out every 5 minutes is just messed up. It would have probubly been better if the movie had been more focused on the farm and the circus as much as him the school teacher and the trapeze artist. and what about his fun house with all the wierd stuff. what is peewee with out a play house?

The only reason anyone should ever watch this movie I think is postarity. He only made two movies, sadly. But I would rather watch a crazy adventure about a lost bike then a freeky movie about Peewee trying to be sexy.
