Chris M @RT21954632 10/10/2022 Surprisingly this plot from 1997 feels more like a movie from 1955. Down to the African Cannibal tribe which pretty don't exist anymore in modern Africa. Like most Ernest movies it has some gross out jokes I could do without. The Flea Market was full of assholes. The one thing I'm impressed with is that they actually filmed in Africa, considering this was a right to video movie and probably didn't have a huge budget to work with. Of course there's a scene where Ernest dresses up in "brown face" which will offend the more easily offended types. But it was important to the plot and it was pretty funny. Lastly the puppet effects for the crocodile was bad. Probably a victim of the budget. Not for everyone, especially if you are the type that get offended easily but I enjoyed it more than the last Ernest movie. Not perfect and some of it "Didn't age well." But still worth checking out.

Not the strongest note to go out on, but there's still a few laughs. See more steve d @RT35616104 07/06/2020 Nothing great but Varney is as good as ever. See more Michael W @mawilps 04/25/2020 This Ernest movie was pretty good. Jim Varney and the rest of the cast did a pretty good job in this movie. The plot to the movie was funny and pretty adventurous. This is a movie for the whole family to enjoy. Not everyone will enjoy this movie, but I thought it wasn't too bad. If you enjoy the Ernest movies, check this one out sometime if you haven't yet. See more 09/16/2015 Some laughs but not much. Not as bad as the final film though, but still pretty abysmal. See more 03/10/2015 Eighth(!) Ernest adventure has title star the target of fortune hunters when a priceless African treasure winds up in his possession. Contains countless closeups of Ernest's patented facial expressions; the backbone of the film series. Certain African stereotypes--such as Ernest being prepared to be cooked in a large pot by savages--are unfortunate. See more Read all reviews
