Summary: YouKnowWhatIMeanVern?
Review: I think that this movie is my second favorite Ernest movie. My favorite one is Ernest Goes to Jail. I have to admitt Ernest has a good singing voice. He should make a childrens tape if there is not already one. Jim Vaney keep up the good work. Don't stop making those Ernest movies. I will forever be a fan. Even when I am old and in a nursing home.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Humorous and Touching
Review: Jim Varney does an excellent job with his humorous, yet touching role as Ernest: Camp Counselor. The introduction to this movie is really funny. If you haven't done so already, pay attention to the golf cart! That isn't the last time you'll see it. Ernest's tolerance of the Second Chance boys is touching. I listen to "I'm Glad It's Raining" every now and then to remember this movie. It's really nice to see a movie where everything comes out ok in the end. The war at the mining camp is a riot! Simple little things such as the turtle saying "I'm scared, sarge" adds to the humor. This movie would not be as good if you tried to apply logic to some of the actions or if you dissected the plot. Just enjoy it for the humor & caring!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: side splitting
Review: Jim Varney is great in his Earnest roles. this is one example out of many. I laughed til I cried from this one. not only is this movie hilarious but it really goes to show you teamwork really does pay off and that you can overcome anything. not to mention the story is touching while being very funny at times. Jim deserves an academy award for this picture if he hasn't gotten one yet. the director is brilliant too

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good laughs
Review: This film finds Ernest as a handyman but wanna-be counselor at a boys' summer camp. A group of juvenile offenders is sent to the camp as "Second Chancers," and of course Ernest ends up being their counselor. As a summer camp movie, the gags are a bit predictable- -the poison ivy scene, the animal scene, and the bad food scenes. Nevertheless, Varney's genius makes them fresh and funny.

The subplot, the redemption of the Second Chancers, comprises the moral lesson of the movie. The main plot centers around the evil Krater Mine Company, which plots to take over the sacred land where the camp is located. The film itself is a bit more violent than most other Ernest films.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: You know what I mean?
Review: This is a classic comedy of epic proportions. Ernest is the lanky loveable camp counselar, who through his crazy antics and humorous character entertains for a full hour and a half. I love Ernest!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This DVD is a blast! Fire the flaming toilets!!
Review: This is the firt Ernest movie ever released, and probably one of Jim varney's best as well. It's too bad that Jim Varney had to die (rest in peace, my dear friend). Anyway, in this Ernest movie, Ernest works at a camp. When some new boys come to camp, it's up to Ernest to straighten up their attitude. But that's not the only thing that Ernest has to worry about, for there is some guys that want to destroy the camp and use the land as their own. Can Ernest save the camp? You've got to watch it to find out! What are you waiting for? Get off your big, lazy butt and go buy this DVD NOW!!!!!

P.S.- I don't won't to spoil too much for you, but when they fire the flaming toilets scene is just PLAIN HILARIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just another reason why you should own this DVD!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Hilarious
Review: This ranks up there with Hey Vern! It's my Family Album! (if you haven't seen that you need to) I laughed so hard that I cried. The late Jim Varney was truly one of Americas greatest Comidians

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: THE FIRST ERNEST MOVIE
Review: THIS WAS THE MOVIE THAT STARTED OFF A LONG RUNNING SERIES OF ERNEST MOVIES. IN THIS ONE, ERNEST P. WORRELL [THE LATE JIM VARNEY] HAS DREAMS OF BEING A CAMP COUNSELOR. THAT DREAM COMES TRUE WHEN HE'S CALLED UPON TO LOOK AFTER SOME JUVENILE DELINQUENTS AT LAKE CHIPPAWA CAMP. FUNNY AT TIMES BUT IT'S ALSO STUPID AND SOME OF THE GAGS ARE KINDA WEAK. BY NOW, THE ERNEST MOVIES HAVE BECOME CULT FAVORITES AMONG COMEDY FANS. BUT, I CAN'T HELP BUT COMPARE THIS MOVIE TO ''MEATBALLS''. THIS MOVIE IS SIMILAR TO THAT. BUT, FOR SOME COMEDY FANS, THIS SHOULD BE FUNNY. MAKES A GREAT FAMILY FILM. FOLLOWED BY ERNEST SAVES CHRISTMAS.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Cinematic Perfection
Review: Why Jim Varney was overlooked for an Oscar for his portrayal of Ernest is a mystery to me. This film is pure comedic genius which rivals that of Charlie Chaplin and Lauryl and Hardy. The premise of the film is simple enough. Ernest longs to be a camp counselor where he works as a maintenance man. The hijinx are a plenty as Ernest takes on a group of tough misfit kids. This heart of gold maintenance man can teach us all a lesson for what's really important in life, being true to who you are and having friends. This film generated a lot of Oscar buzz when it was first released in 1987 and hasn't lost a step over the years.
