What follows is a comedy of errors that sees Stiller, Arquette, and Leoni travel all over the country following up lead after lead to apparently amusing results. ...

The humour in Pee-wee's Big Adventure tends to be broad and family-friendly; while that isn't necessarily an obstacle to a film being funny, none of the jokes ever really seem to land. ...

It is at this point that the island's alcoholic chief constable (Richard Coyle) comes up with a foolproof plan - get everyone on the island drunk enough to ward off alien attacks and keep them contained within the island's solitary pub. ...

Of course, people who have made the decision to actually sit down and watch Piranha 3D know that they're not supposed to get much in the way in a layered plot or compelling characters - they just need to not be too annoying as the film speeds through its mercifully brief 90-minute running time. ...
