Leave your thoughts about Ernest Goes to Jail.
| EmpireWilliam ThomasKids will love it but adults may find it just too silly to sit through. |
| The New York TimesCaryn JamesErnest Goes to Jail so resembles a high-spirited cartoon that it is likely to be more amusing to children and less painfully obnoxious for parents than its predecessors. |
| Washington PostRita KempleyErnest Goes to Jail is directed by John Cherry, the adman who created the character. And hard as it is to admit it, Cherry is getting better -- better at making endearing an annoying pea-brained pitchman. |
| Chicago TribuneJohanna SteinmetzErnest movies would still seem to be an acquired taste, but this one affords the adult viewer a few unexpected pleasures. |
| Los Angeles TimesMichael WilmingtonThis is the kind of film most of us don't really want to admit we've seen, let alone laughed at. Nevertheless, Ernest Goes To Jail gives Varney fans more or less what they expect, and they keep coming back for more. |
| USA TodaySusan WloszczynaThe script tries to work up sympathy for a character who’s not much more than the bastard trailer-park spawn of Jerry Lewis. Sadly, this is everything you ever thought an Ernest movie would be. |
| User ReviewRobert Athis movie is sooo stupid its funny, not a very mature movie are one that is very realistic at all. there is every thing from clones to riding a floor polisher on the ceiling. this is a very aquired sense of humor |
| User ReviewVoo BThis is my favorite Ernest film and probably the best! Sure, the whole "Ernest the Electroman" flying around and fighting an evil twin is a little much, but I don't care. I love it! |
| User ReviewChris Mfor gods sake, he gains superpowers instead of dying after being sent to the electric chair, nuff said |
| User ReviewLiza DAwww.... Ernest! Who couldn't love a guy with the heart of a child? I was a fan of his in the 80's and loved all the movies he did. |
