On this day in 1988, PARAMOUNT PICTURES released BIG TOP PEE-WEE. This follow-up to the  hugely popular PEE-WEE’S BIG ADVENTURE, was directed by RANDAL KLEISER (BLUE LAGOON) and starred PAUL REUBENS as his alter ego, PEE WEE HERMAN.  The bottom line is, you either love or hate PEE WEE (and we happen to love him).
