Pee-wee’s Big Holiday With Joe Manganiello On Netflix | Written By: Lee
Netflix streaming wants to invite you to don a party hat at Joe Manganiello’s birthday party! The newly released Pee-wee’s Big Holiday was a huge hit with my family when we had the chance to play an interactive game following Pee-wee’s “big adventure” on his way to New York City.
Pee-wee’s Big Holiday With Joe Manganiello
Netflix sent us a Pee-wee’s Big Holiday interactive watch kit with a game sheet and several smaller boxes inside. The rules of the game were to open each numbered box at a certain scene in the movie, which is visualized on the game sheet. You can see the pictures of Jason and Spencer playing above.
The new movie in the Pee-wee Herman franchise, Pee-wee’s Big Holiday, begins with Pee-wee content in his small hometown of Fairville. He has friends, a job at the diner and even a barbershop quartet. Well, except that his barbershop quartet friends broke up the band. They were moving on with their lives and Pee-wee couldn’t cope. He became very moody.
When Joe Manganiello rides into town he and Pee-wee have an immediate bond. Pee-wee has no idea who Joe is, who does play himself, which Joe appreciates. Pee-wee makes him a milk shake in the diner and then shows him his model town. They really hit it off and Joe invites Pee-wee to NYC for his birthday party. Pee-wee isn’t keen on the idea of leaving Fairville but since he’s upset about his barbershop quartet breaking up decides maybe a change isn’t such an awful idea.
Pee-wee’s Big Holiday – Characters Along The Journey
Along the journey Pee-wee meets up with a lot of crazy characters in the way only Pee-wee Herman could. Check out some of the Pee-wee’s Big Holiday characters below:
A girl band of bank robbers (one named Pee-wee)
Farmer Brown and his Nine daughters eager to find a husband
An entire village of Amish settlers
A “couple” of snake farmers (one played by Lynne Marie Stewart aka Miss Yvonne in other Pee-wee shows)
The above group of Pee-wee’s Big Holiday characters don’t even scratch the surface. There are so many interesting people Pee-wee meets along the way to Joe’s birthday party. And once he arrives in New York City, he makes it nearly to the party’s front door when trouble ensues.
While Pee-wee is held up on the way to the party he starts thinking how silly he way for even trying to make it there in the first place. Joe Manganiello is a celebrity with tons of famous friends, why would he care about some small town man like Pee-wee? But all along Joe isn’t even enjoying his party, wondering if Pee-wee is coming and if he seemed desperate inviting him in the first place.
Is Pee-wee’s Big Holiday Appropriate For Kids?
You’ll have to tune into Netflix streaming to see Pee-wee’s Big Holiday for yourself. It kept Jason and Spencer’s attention the entire time 1 hour 30 minute run time. As I tell you all the time I’m protective of what my kids watch on TV. I mostly approved of this movie. There was one questionable scene where a few men strip to their underwear in a dance scene. Not a big deal but something that could have been left out completely. Nothing else stands out to me as being inappropriate so I still give it two thumbs up.
Sign up for Netflix.com to watch Pee-wee’s Big Holiday and many other original shows and movies plus previous favorites. I love Netflix so much Pee-wee would tell me to marry it. And I just might.
*As a Netflix Ambassador I receive Netflix free and even a few great gifts throughout the year but as always these opinions are my own. Be sure to check out The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt season 2 which is worth the price of Netlfix each month. Promise.
