Joel H @786Joel Mar 27, 2026 When I was younger, I watched Ernest Goes to Camp, Ernest Saves Christmas, and Ernest Scared Stupid a few times, but Ernest Goes to Jail was not in that group for some reason. I know I’ve seen it before, but it didn’t make a big impression, so I was expecting it to be terrible. It’s not, though. It’s silly, the plot is nonsensical, it may borrow some elements from Pee-Wee’s Playhouse, and it’s definitely a movie for children, but Jim Varney is just likeable. And it was especially entertaining to see him play a straightforward bad guy. My kids enjoyed it, so I guess Ernest Goes to Jail did its job.

Highly recommend along with any of the other Ernest movies. See more Julian S. @akajulianscott Jul 2, 2025 A screwball kids’ classic that perfectly showcases Varney’s versatility.

Ernest was annoying and not really funny. Even though I loved it when I was younger, it didn't bring back that much nostalgia. See more Read all reviews
