don't really get it, 27 July 2001
Author: stuart feild (weerdo1482@aol.com) from Little Rock

I guess its a good idea to put peewee in the middle of a bunch of circus people, but the idea of whole love thing is just kinda weird. I mean if the charactor peewee isn't weird enough the fact that 2 women could fall in love with him, I mean its just all so creepy. there alwas seems to be something really dark going on in this movie. I really don't know what. mabe I would have prefered peewee to stay a sexless man child weirdo with a cool house. by the way this is NOT a sequal to peewees big adventure, a great movie!
