Horror fan 4 @Horrorfan4life Aug 8 Jim varney at his best in this comedy playing Ernest. The scene in the bathroom where he sees how dirty the toilet is and the face he makes is top tier hilarious. Who'd a thought that he could carry a tune cause the song he sings is amazing. Ernest is one of most recognizable characters in movie history.

The scene where Ernest was singing "Gee I'm Glad It's Raining" definitely made me feel sad as it was an emotional moment.

In his solo big screen debut he shows off his acting skills against some truly great child actors. This movie has everything from action to drama and Jim Varney shows off his singing voice with a song that wont leave a dry eye in the theater. Interwoven with all that is some of the best slapstick comedy of the 80s.

It's maybe top 10 to top 5. I can't think of a better movie off the top of my head, but there has to be at least 1 or 2.

Nevertheless, nostalgia takes over whenever I watch it and I can’t help but enjoy it. There’s something about Ernest that just seems so… earnest. Jim Varney really does a good job of playing the idiot with a heart. I watched this movie with my young kids and was happy to see them laughing at the silly stuff and being concerned about the semi-stressful stuff. So no, I can’t really recommend Ernest Goes to Camp to other adults, but every now and then, when I want to relive a piece of my childhood, I enjoy watching it. See more Read all reviews
