Sadly Over-hyped

It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

A really good sleeper in the family comedy genre. A hidden gem if you will. I had this movie in my possession for so long. I had the original VHS version too. I actually may still have it I hope. It's so well casted and very memorable. When I was a kid I would draw or paint the exact same symbol used in this movie like everywhere. And so many quotes, oh my gosh. Lots of laugh out loud moments, especially when you're a kid. It's got a great soundtrack that I wish I owned. If you like heartwarming films, give this one a try. You gotta watch the entire film to see why I gave it a solid 8/10. I recommend it to people of all ages, no matter what other films you enjoyed in the same genre. You will like it, I guarantee it. If you are pure of heart, the film will not let you down.

Ernest goes to Camp is a good movie. It stars the late Jim Varney as Ernest P. Worrell. In this film, he works at Kamp Kikakee as a janitor. What he really wants to be is a counselor. He gets that wish, but there is a group of troubled boys to deal with. In the meantime, a mining company is about to destroy the camp! It's up to our old buddy Ernest to save the place he cares so much. I like the music in it mostly. I love the "Brave Hearts" song and Ernest even sings "Gee I'm Glad It's Rainin." I would say it's the best film Jim Varney has made. I know some people these days don't know this movie very well. If you are new to the Ernest series, start with this one. You will enjoy it. Know What I Mean Vern?

Other than this movie featuring Ernest from all those wacky commercials, this movie just plays out as your basic summer camp movie. Why is it so bad, because you have Ernest as the main character, plus very annoying children, and a silly subplot involving some company trying to take over the camp. I just do not think the Ernest character should be center stage for a movie. The short lived television show was the only thing this character needed as it featured other characters and such to draw some of the focus away from Ernest himself. Lets face it, the character got his start in commercials as a rather annoying individual and it was funny to see him torment Vern, but more funny to see Vern get back at Ernest for bothering him in the first place. The movie here would feature a couple of the characters from the television show as cooks and they provide some comedy and Ernest has his moments. However, most of the movie is rather groan inducing and to top it off it gets overly sentimental at times as well. I can not really recommend this movie unless perhaps you have seen his other movies and liked them. Granted if you have seen them I am sure you saw this his first movie.

I have not seen this movie in years but I remember as a kid that I loved it.Every time an Ernest movie all the kids would get excited and we'd all talk about how we had to see it. Then we did and thought we were super cool. Doesn't anyone else remember that?Ernest movies were wonderfully goofy. Maybe we are too spoiled these days to appreciate a simple silly camp movie. I am surprised at it's relatively poor rating.
