Paul Reubens reprised his role in this surprising Netflix sequel.
The Big Picture There is no phrase in Hollywood’s recent history that’s been more popular than the “legacy sequel.” Films like Creed, Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Jurassic World, and David Gordon Green’s Halloween essentially remade the first film in their respective franchises, but used it to usher in a new generation of heroes and play on the audience’s nostalgia.
Pee-wee’s Big Holiday starts off by simply not acknowledging that it’s been thirty years later; it simply begins with Pee-wee still living in Fairview, where his skills as a chef at a local diner have charmed the local population. It’s when Pee-wee befriends the actor Joe Manganiello that he sets off on an adventure to New York City in order to attend Manganiello’s birthday party. The conflict isn’t derived from any silly plot device, but due to the inherent kindness of Pee-wee.
Joe Manganiello has been a rising star over the last few years and had first shown his brilliance in comedy in 2015’s Magic Mike XXL. There’s an obvious line that the film is drawing between Reubens and Manganiello; he shows up in Fairview flexing his muscles and riding a massive motorbike like a hunk straight out of a fantasy romance sequence.
