Halloween time with Ernest

1 year, 8 months ago at Feb 19 22:09
As said before, the 'Ernest' films will always garner a mixed reception, with people finding it easier than others to take them for what they are and how they execute what they set out to do (that's how my judgement on any film always fares). Rather than having any stereotypical notion of what a film of a certain genre or overall ought to do (there are no rules in film-making, people seem to forge... read more

Pop Culture Phenomenon Films: 90’s (1926 movies items)

" Life could be pretty if there wasn't someone like Ernest P. Worrell on this planet. In this movie he helps to escape an evil troll out of his grave. That's the start of the end for the world. But... Ernest wouldn't be Ernest if he wasn't planning on saving all the people. This action doesn't make it any better. It's getting worse. It’s also notable for being the last Ernest film, to be distributed by Walt Disney Pictures. Sadly, Jim Varney, passed away up years later. The film was a crit"

Halloween time with Ernest

“As said before, the 'Ernest' films will always garner a mixed reception, with people finding it easier than others to take them for what they are and how they execute what they set out to do (that's how my judgement on any film always fares). Rather than having any stereotypical notion of what a film of a certain genre or overall ought to do (there are no rules in film-making, people seem to forget that, not trying to be arrogant in any way, it just seems that way).

The 'Ernest' films are in no way perfect films. They are not even great films, they do have obvious flaws and it is easy to see why there are those who struggle to see the appeal in them and also the character of Ernest. However, to me, none of the films are bad and much better than reputed, though they are more guilt” read more

Ernest P. Worrell: A Complete Viewing/Watch Order (16 movies items)

"This was the fourth and final widely released theatrical Ernest film produced by Touchstone Pictures. It grossed significantly less than the previous films at the box office and also received the worst critical reviews of all of the Ernest movies to date. As a result, Touchstone was not involved in any future Ernest projects."

"October 7: Another movie I hadn't seen in many years, I actually grew up watching the Ernest movies. Such ridiculous humor, but highly entertaining. I attribute to this movie the very reason why I will never give Brussels sprouts a chance. **shudder** FAVORITE SCENE: Ernest and Rimshot's reunion at the end."
