Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Yvonne Jodi Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

ilovemovies2016 Best Ernest movie of the series but have more to watch yet. mediocre comedy but still the best yet i have seen short and sweet review

reddragonhero17 No matter what the situation, Ernest always brings the laughs and this one is no exception. John Cherry keeps the laughs flowing nonstop from scene to scene. I even like his Rube Goldberg-like contraptions at his house since I'm a fan of this stuff. If I were to single out the funniest scene it would have to be the one where he's the old lady. Hilarious! RIP Ernest P Worrell

utgard14 Bank janitor Ernest unwillingly switches place with lookalike convict Felix Nash. Now Ernest is stuck in prison and has to figure out a way to survive until he can set things right. Jim Varney plays both parts, of course. Oh, and I forgot to mention Ernest gets super powers in this one. Yeah. Let's face it, Ernest movies are about as low-brow as it gets. But they also can be entertaining. This one's no "Ernest Goes to Camp" but it's better than the rest of the dreadful Ernest movies from the '90s. It's admittedly pretty dumb stuff but if you shut your brain off for awhile and let your inner kid out, you might find some laughs here.

ccthemovieman-1 This "Ernest film" is a typically silly, stupid-at-times one but still wholesome in its humor and sometimes very funny.The best moments in here, at least the ones that made me laugh hardest, were in the bank with Jim Varney ("Ernest") and a runaway vacuum cleaner. Yes, there is a lot of juvenile humor in here, but the totally-innocent lightweight humor is fun.Varney also does some imitations in here, and he's quite good at it. He's done this in several of his movies and it is always entertaining.For those wondering about their young kids watching this, there is absolutely no offensive language in this movie, too. Now that's a rarity for a 1990 film.
