Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic

Sabah Hensley This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

Celia A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

kylesellars-33776 Okay, I'll be the first to admit that the Ernest films aren't exactly Oscar-caliber movies... okay, they aren't even good movies by most peoples standards. BUT, the Ernest P. Worrell movies sure are fun, something that you can just let go and laugh at.Ernest Scared Stupid is my favorite of these movies. It may be just because I used to watch it all the time when I was like 12 years old, but either way, I still like it. Right from the credits you can tell it is going to be hilarious. The troll makeup and costumes are very well done for an Ernest movie, and it keeps you entertained all the way through. I'm 20 years old and I can still watch this one until the very end. The real question is, when is somebody going to get off of their ass and put the late, great Jim Varney's entire Ernest collection out on DVD?We're waiting... I know I'm not alone here... right?

utgard14 Moronic garbageman Ernest (Jim Varney) inadvertently frees a troll from a centuries-long imprisonment beneath a tree. Well, it's an Ernest movie so keep expectations simple. It is funny in spots and completely earnest (no pun intended). It's something children should enjoy more than adults. There's lot of slapstick humor and face mugging. Jim Varney repeats many of the same gags that he uses in most of his movies. Eartha Kitt is fun. The troll looks pretty cool. I gotta admit I laughed when Ernest called the troll 'booger lips.' So there's some laughs to be had if you still have some kid left inside. Gets better as it goes along.

SanteeFats Ernest movies usually get bad reviews and ratings. I think that is because they are pretty sophomoric and low level for a lot of viewers. I find them to be relaxing and a movie I can watch without locking in on the plot. Just a good funny movie without a lot of fanfare. Jim Varney plays Ernest P. Worrell, a know it all with no concept of reality or responsibility. He is just a good ole boy with out a lot of smarts or knowledge. In this one Ernest must combat an evil creature that he has unknowingly released from its imprisonment. Eartha Kitt is excellent as the seeress (?) with the information that is needed. It turns out that the creature, who has captured several kids and turned them into wooden little replicates. Ernest finally figures out the riddle and tosses milk on the evil one. It shrinks down to nothing and all the people it had turned into little wooden dolls are restored to life.

rebeljenn 'Ernest Scared Stupid' is a job well done for Ernest. This film combines the slapstick and subtle humor typical of any Ernest film, and it brings in the element of horror. The film is downright frightening for children, but it is not THAT frightening because of the reassurance that it is only a film. It's just made for children, after all.In this film, a troll breaks free from a curse and starts capturing children and turning them into dolls. It is up to Ernest to save the day and bring Halloween back -- without frightening trolls. I was amazed at how entertaining this film was; I saw it when I was about 11, and it was my first proper 'movie' I saw at the cinema, not counting classic Disney animated films.Halloween is mainly a children's affair anyway, and it is good to see that Ernest was able to bring it to the children: a little bit of laughter, a little bit of horror, and some child actors in important parts. It's what every child hopes for in a Halloween film.
