Ernest P. Worell, a sweet but silly taxi driver who at times suffers delusions of grandeur, has just chauffeured a rather extraordinary fare: "His Great Red Oneness, the Claus" himself. It seems Santa hasn't got the magic for another Christmas season, and has come to Orlando, Florida for Joe Carruthers, the man he has chosen as his successor. But things quickly begin to unravel, thanks to Joe's meddling agent and Santa's increasingly unreliable memory. Incredibly, dimwitted Ernest soon becomes Santa's only hope! Joining forces with a young runaway named "Harmony Star", Ernest rushes to save the holidays as we know them.
Leave your thoughts about Ernest Saves Christmas.
| Miami HeraldJuan Carlos CotoTo say this is the best of the Ernest series is no great compliment, but there are enough knowing film jibes here, and ample seasonal tomfoolery, to keep a family in their seats. |
| New TimesLuke Y. ThompsonA Christmas classic. Jim Varney is sorely missed in my heart. |
| TIME MagazineRichard CorlissOnly marginally insufferable, the Ernest movie is...a big-screen example of the TV-sitcom tendency to go broad and sappy with a token Yuletide show each December. |
| Dispatch-Tribune NewspapersSteve CrumTypical yet frequently goofy fun Ernest flick. |
| The New York TimesCaryn JamesThe best that can be said for the film is that it leaves Ernest behind now and then to focus on Santa, who is played by Douglas Seale with sweetness, sincerity and an amazing amount of dignity, considering his surroundings. |
| Chicago TribuneDave KehrThough Ernest barely exists apart from his trademark catch phrase (Kno- whut-I-mean?) and his propensity for waggling his nose in wide-angle lenses, Varney's energetic mugging is good for a few mild laughs. |
| Los Angeles TimesMichael WilmingtonIt doesn't take extra-sensory perspiration, as Ernest would say, to realize this undertaking is dumber than jaywalking at the Indy 500. |
| User ReviewSanford RDefinitely the best Ernest movie and a great Christmas movie too. I love it! :) |
| User ReviewLaTasha WAny Erenst movie is funny...I love Ernest goes to jail hehe |
| User ReviewChris SAfter all these years, this film still holds up. One of the better Ernest movies. |
