Reaction: This one narrowly avoided a loss thanks to a modest budget and strong home video sales figures. We definitely didn't want to start out our 13th season with a loss, so we're content with breaking even here.
"Paul Dano, while not really looking anything like Paul Reubens or Pee-Wee Herman, completely disappears in the role." - Dennis Smith, Orlando Sentinel
"I never thought we'd get an in-depth Pee-Wee Herman biopic, but I'm certainly glad that writer Chad Taylor and director Michel Gondry have decided to bring this to the big screen." - Tim Greer, L.A. Weekly
"I think the proper story elements are there, but I had a really hard time buying the cast as the characters. Paul Dano gives his all in the lead role, but it just wasn't enough for me." - Tom Lane, Detroit News
