I love this movie so much

I wanted to but couldn't!

To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

And again, I find myself in the minority.I didn't like this one. This is the ONLY Varney work I haven't embraced, including Knowhutimean. Slam Dunk Ernest rates the credit for being the worst of the line, but this is a clear competitor for that dubious title.This work is too rough, and too base to be lovable. Lovability was one of Ernest's key components, and this element was completely lost herein. Unfortunately, most think this is the best of the line, but if you loved the essence of what made Ernest, Ernest, you will realize to what I refer about fifteen minutes into this work. It was too blatantly base to be fun.It rates a 3.5/10 from...the Fiend :.

This movie brings back so many memories for me! I was very young when it came out but I remember the first time I saw it! My dad and I would always watch the "Ernest Movies" together. We hadn't seen any of them in several years and I found a couple of them really cheap. We watched them and could not stop laughing. I love all of the "Ernest Movies," but this one is my favorite.Spoiler part! The part I remember most is the "magnet" part. My dad still does the electric chair scene! End Spoiler!This is a very cheesy movie...but a great one! It's perfect for families (it isn't like a lot of the trash out there) but at the same time adults can laugh too! If you like physical humor (like facial expressions and the way people move) then this is the movie for you!

This is a really good flick with awesome humor. Jim Verney as we know was very good with facial expressions and demonstrates a lot of it in this movie.This is definitely the best of the Ernest films.I would surely recommend it to any Ernest fan out there.i find myself to have great taste in movies and I'm sure anyone will enjoy this movie. In the movie ,(Ernest) plays 2 roles, bad guy and good guy and plays them quite well. I really enjoy exaggeration type humor where things just seem impossible,like in the naked gun films for example, and there is plenty of it in this movie.I bought this movie right after i saw it. Good directing, good script, worth renting.

"I came. I saw. I got blowed up." Sheer genius. The unbridled hilarity of Jim Varney at his most dark and wacky. Anyone who's ever been an "inmate" and/or "ward of the state" can truly find solace, brotherhood, and even inspiration in "Ernest Goes to Jail". Former "bunkies" can hold tearful yet joyous reunions as they sit together and fondly recall the times they laughed, cried, and even hurled during their sentences; thanks to this brilliant and surprisingly accurate depiction of "life on the lock down". Heartstrings will be tugged at the sight of uniforms, prison food, and those lovable "deputies/wardens". Ernest's prevailing spirit is a lesson to us all. Great "date" movie. A triumph.
