Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful
Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.
When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
He is an amazing guy in person..though I have not talked with him since 94 when I was living in Vegas he was proud of what he got to be. He's just a really nice person. When I was 14 I had to do an accapella star spangled banner for school talent show. He encouraged me to try. I did it even though my family did not attend. But he made me feel special. He patted my back and said I should be proud I did an awesome job. That was years ago but I still remember as though it was yesterday. He may have had secondary roles in the films but he was a number one actor in my heart. Thank you Mr. Schumacher. I will always remember your kindness and creativity. You star shines bright. I wish you would have acted more. It was something you loved. As do I.
A group of juvenile criminals is sent for vacation to Kamp Kikakee. The clumsy Ernest (Jim Varney) has to care for them, although he doesn't even know how to take care of himself.There were a handful of good Ernest films. "Saves Christmas" is excellent, and both "Goes to Jail" and "Scared Stupid" are pretty good. This may be the best one, though. It really tried to have a deeper message that appealed both to kids and adults. It may be silly, it might have delinquents who seem like nice kids, and it may have a Sicilian who plays an Indian chief... but it is a good movie.I understand why this film has an overall low rating, but it should not be as low as it currently is (5.4 in September 2015). This is a true children's classic.
A really good sleeper in the family comedy genre. A hidden gem if you will. I had this movie in my possession for so long. I had the original VHS version too. I actually may still have it I hope. It's so well casted and very memorable. When I was a kid I would draw or paint the exact same symbol used in this movie like everywhere. And so many quotes, oh my gosh. Lots of laugh out loud moments, especially when you're a kid. It's got a great soundtrack that I wish I owned. If you like heartwarming films, give this one a try. You gotta watch the entire film to see why I gave it a solid 8/10. I recommend it to people of all ages, no matter what other films you enjoyed in the same genre. You will like it, I guarantee it. If you are pure of heart, the film will not let you down.
I have not seen this movie in years but I remember as a kid that I loved it.Every time an Ernest movie all the kids would get excited and we'd all talk about how we had to see it. Then we did and thought we were super cool. Doesn't anyone else remember that?Ernest movies were wonderfully goofy. Maybe we are too spoiled these days to appreciate a simple silly camp movie. I am surprised at it's relatively poor rating.
