Movie Reviews of Ernest Goes to Camp
Movie Review: A top film for the kids -- dad will like it too
Summary: 5 Stars
This really is just a slapstick fun film with every possible element that will make kids love it. The secondary benefit is that it has enough of a decent plot to keep mom and dad watching it too.
The late Iron Eyes Cody, the co-star of the film, was simply super in this flick. Most adults will remember him as the Indian in the anti-littering TV Public Service Announcement campaign, where he was the Indian with the tear dripping from his eye.
I was acquainted with Iron pretty well and most film buffs didn't know that he broke his leg in the middle of the production of this film, (jumped off a pick-up truck badly), so they had to finish by shooting the remaining scenes of him from the waist up! It doesn't effect the film at all, really, but it's interesting to know as you watch.
And, yes, I agree with others here that this is the best of the "Ernest Films".
Movie Review: ERNEST IS ALWAYS TERRIFIC!
Summary: 5 Stars
Ever since I first saw "Ernest Goes To Jail", around 15 years ago, I have been a true Ernest fan. At first, reluctantly, but after all, he is Ernest.
WHAT'S "ERNEST GOES TO CAMP"?
This is one of Jim Varney's earlier efforts and as always he is right on. His supporting cast, many who would be with him for the sensational Ernest films that followed, were still learning how to fit into the Ernest universe. Nevertheless, Ernest, sweetness and goodness aplenty, was pitted against a formidable adversary in John Vernon [Dean Wormer from Animal House] and in that light this film truly shined.
The campers were a combination of yuppy larve and Peter Pan's "Lost Boys" which was a recipe for some explosive summer camp fun.
True to form, Ernest saves the day, this time from John Vernon's idea of converting a summer camp into a strip-mining venture.
Movie Review: Ernest for President, Vern!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've must have watched this movie 500 times and just cant get enough of `ol Ernest P. How could a man THIS funny be gathered to jesus at such a young age is beyond my understandin. The turtle should have won an oscar, too, that's one smart reptile! They can't do HALF the stuff that little guy did here in Alabama. I tell ya, if Ernest Worrel was MY camp counselor, I'd a turned out a whole lot better than I am now.
I'm trying to collect the whole series and the only one I'm lacking so far is the first (and greatest) "Dr. Otto and the Riddle of the Gloom Beam." In this classic, Jim Varney (Ernest, in case you didn't know he is an actor just PLAYING the character Ernest) plays 5 different characters and REALLY gets to show off his skills. A true master of the art. I cry every time he sings that song about rain.
Movie Review: My favorite Ernest Movie!
Summary: 5 Stars
Ernest P. Worrell Camp Counselor. Instead of talking to Vern, Ernest works at a Camp where he is the handy man and quickly turns into a counselor because of the camps shortage (see the movie for your question of how and why). If you like Jim Varney's sense of humor and his Ewwwwwwweeewwwwwwww (watch and see the look on his face when he sees a toilet in need of help). Trouble seems to find him and while he tries to get troubled youths from a nearby detention center to win their respect, be their friend and help them as well, Ernest finds himself in a "quarry" of trouble later on. John Vernon, Iron Eyes Cody, and Lyle Alzado co-star.Movie Review: Cinematic Perfection
Summary: 5 Stars
Why Jim Varney was overlooked for an Oscar for his portrayal of Ernest is a mystery to me. This film is pure comedic genius which rivals that of Charlie Chaplin and Lauryl and Hardy. The premise of the film is simple enough. Ernest longs to be a camp counselor where he works as a maintenance man. The hijinx are a plenty as Ernest takes on a group of tough misfit kids. This heart of gold maintenance man can teach us all a lesson for what's really important in life, being true to who you are and having friends. This film generated a lot of Oscar buzz when it was first released in 1987 and hasn't lost a step over the years.
