Ernest P. Worrell (Jim Varney) has no talent at all when it comes to playing basketball, which relegates him to being able to cheer for his team only from the sidelines. Understandably, Ernest feels depressed about never making it onto the court. Then, luckily for him, he meets an angel (Kareem Abdul-Jabbar) who has what he needs to succeed. The angel gives Ernest a pair of magic basketball sneakers and warns him to use them wisely, but Ernest can't help getting carried away.

Audience Member it is so good i came a little while watching it Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Another stupid Ernest sequel. Varney is fun in it, as usual, but a lot of it is just soo cringeworthy. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 11/25/20 Full Review steve d It won't win any new fans but will please the ones he has. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie has been panned way too hard on here. You have to take it for what it is - an Ernest movie! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member This Ernest movie was a little better than the previous one, but it still wasn't as great as I thought it would be. Jim Varney and the rest of the cast did a decent job in this movie. The plot to the movie was pretty ridiculous. Everyone in the movie should've known that Ernest is not athletic material. They should've been more suspicious. I would've been. I wouldn't recommend this movie. It's not worth it. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member I love Ernest, but this movie is the worst Ernest movie. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Read all reviews
