Never seen it - what's it like?


I saw all the Ernest films from Saves Christmas through to Goes to Africa when I was 13, but didn't see this one (or Ernest In The Army) because the video store didn't have it.

Because this was the 1st Ernest film, was this any better/funnier than the others?

I appreciate your feedback

It's a good movie, you should try to rent it or buy it. It's my favourite Ernest movie.

How do you expect to get through life?On an 80cc Dirt Bike it will take me anywhere I need to go!

The only ones i recommend are Saves Christmas, Goes to School, Goes to Jail, Scared Stupid, Goes to Camp(the best), and Ernest Rides Again. Goes to Camp was my favorite as a child and even now. Ernest in the Army was so-so, Goes to Africa i thought was terrible, and Slam Dunk Ernest is second worst. To answer your question, yes Goes to Camp was his first and his best. I have some of these on DVD. A lot of people smirk at me when i tell them, but i just smile back and say, "Hey, Ernest was a dork, but he was a dork that kept me entertained as a kid and even now." Sadly he's dead, may he rest in piece.
