Review of Big Top Pee-wee (1988) by David Sterritt for Christian Science Monitor — 05 Feb 1995
Kleiser has no feel for comedy, and there's no affinity between him and his star. He shoots the material as if he didn't quite get it, and the gags dribble out weakly, without any emphasis or piquancy, as if the camera itself were perplexed by the scene unfolding in front of it.
