Summary: Hey Vern, check out my summer camp home movie.....
Review: At last, Jim Varney's films are on DVD. All I can say is, it's about time! However, considering his sad, early death a couple of years ago, you'd think there would be a few extras on these screwball camp classics. Interviews, outtakes, something. But at least we get to bring Ernest home, the guy with the small brains, big heart, and the most flexible face you've ever seen. This is the first of the Ernest flicks, and considered by most to be his best. Ernest is a maintenance man at a boy's summer camp who gets stuck with a group of juvenile delinquents no one else wants to work with. His innocence, acceptence, and naivete are exactly what the boys need and slowly, he works change in their hearts. Of course, they take great advantage of his dim wits in the beginning with hilarious results. In spite of their joking, Ernest cares for the boys and tries his hardest to be the best camp counselor he can be. The movie is full of as much camp humor as one can muster - the food jokes probably being the most extreme - and hilarious. We even get to hear Ernest sing. The tone changes midway as the camp is introduced to a crisis. A mining corporation longs to buy the camp for its rich resources and takes advantage of Ernest's low wattage brain power to get it's way. A battle of great proportions ensues, complete with indian war paint, disgusting camp food, and my personal favorite, paratrooper turtles. The paratrooper turtles instantly landed this camp movie in the category of campy classics. And believe it or not, in the middle of all this screwy humor, there are some truly touching moments and some great moral lessons. The movie is true family fare, free of language, sexual innuendo, or other things that find their way into family films these days. It is a great way to initiate summer and to reminisce about the glory days of summer camp. The biggest difference between this and other Ernest films is the lack of characters played by Varney. He is Ernest almost the entire film - and if my memory serves me correctly, Vern may not even be present. But the movie is Ernest all the way and Jim Varney fans will not be dissappointed. You will be sorely missed Ernest.

Review: Ernest Goes to Camp is one of the funniest films I have ever seen. Jim Varney is one of the funniest comedians ever and along with this film, should go down in comedy classics history. It is certainly worth a look for fans of the genre or the curious, who will no doubt fall in love with Ernest and want to see all the wonderful sequels this movie produced. Ya know what I mean Vern?

Summary: Going Back to Camp.
Review: ERNEST GOES TO CAMP was the first of the Ernest movies and it was made in the hey-day of Jim Varney's career as Ernest. The movie was made when Varney had a Saturday morning television show and was still making those popular television commercials on a regular basis. The film precedes other ventures in Varney's career, such as his voice work in the TOY STORY films. Next to ERNEST SAVES CHRISTMAS, ERNEST GOES TO CAMP is the best of all the Ernest movies that were made. Unlike the other Varney films, Varney sticks to playing Ernest. Ernest works at a summer camp for boys as a maintenance man. He longs to be a camp counselor, but the director feels he isn't qualified. However, when the camp participates in a "Second Chance" program for delinquint boys and no one else seems to be able to handle them, Ernest is given the job of being their counselor. At first the gang finds him annoying and a push-over, but over time they come to respect him and realize all he has done for them. The climax of the movie erupts when a nearby mining company threatens to takeover the camp after duping the Native American chief who owned the land. Ernest won't stand by and see the camp destroyed and with the help from his boys they take on the mining company. The movie is full of dumb humor that kids are sure to enjoy. I remember laughing hysterically when I originally saw this film in the theatre. My tastes have changed since then, but after watching the movie again on DVD, I still enjoyed it for what it was: a big, dumb movie with an awful lot of heart. The movie is a great family movie because it contains no foul language or sexual innduendo and very little violence. It's also a joy to watch because it illustrates the comic genius of Jim Varney back in his prime. Plus, it has the only film I know of that includes turtle paratroopers. Happy viewing!

Summary: Ernest Goes to Camp
Review: Ernest in his first of the Ernest movies, the movie that spawned a whole set. Come watch Ernest the lovable Camp director who is a clutz but hillarious the whole time through and through. I have watched this movie ever since I was little and it just keeps getting better. If you can find a place to buy it, jump on it, if you can't, hit a video store and quick.

Summary: Ernest kicks ass once again!
Review: Ernest kicks unbelievable ass in this movie! Man, he rocks! This one is a classic!
In the movie, everybody hates Ernest, so somebody frames him, and the camp had enough of him. In an attempt to earn back his good name, though, he accepts the role of counselor for a group of bad boys, who Ernest believes have the potential to be good.
Unfortunately, the children tricks Ernest time and time again, but one of them ended up liking Ernest. With the help of a friend, Ernest eventually earns the love of the boys, but with the help of his innocence, he accidentally sold the camp. Now, with the boys at his side, he will fight back the evil corporation!
Corny story, huh? Well, it is presented rather well. Unlike today's children movies, which are just crappy and won't be enjoyed even by retarded children, at least Ernest Goes To Camp is enjoyable by people of all ages. The fight scene is a classic too! It makes you remember all the good movies you've watched back in the 70's and 80's. If you don't like movies from these eras and prefers the crappy movies of today, then by all means, go ahead and enjoy Gigli or Catwoman. If you actually like GOOD movies, though, then this is the movie to buy, my friend.
Man, Ernest rocks in this movie! Ernest P. Worrell (Jim Varney) is one of my favorite actors of all time! Why did he have to die? Couldn't that annoying little (...), Alex D. Linz, from Home Alone 3 have died instead?

Summary: Genius
Review: Ernest P. Worrell (Jim Varney) is the best thing to happen to the comedy genre since Cheech and Chong disappeared. Ernest is a camp counselor for a bunch of brats. Pure 80's mischief and Ernest goes native, you can't miss it! He doesn't like to eat those two weirdos' cooking. Watch him go 'huh' and get slammed in the face with a lunch tray. Classic.

Summary: Not up to par with the rest of Jim Varney's (RIP) work
Review: I have to say that I was not as pleased with "Ernest Goes to Camp" as I thought I would be. The mood and motif of the film were far more rudimentary than other Varney classics. I felt that the story arc left much to be desired and the cinematography was slightly contrived. While I cannot recommend that anyone avoid seeing this film, I do want to express my severe disappointment at what I felt could have been the crowning jewel in the cinema oeuvre of Jim Varney. Again, may he rest in peace.

Summary: Have Seen Funnier Dumb Humor Comedies!
Review: I like Jim Varney he was great in The Beverly Hillbillies movie as Jed Clampett and I liked Ernest Saves Christmas which I thought was a cute movie but sorry this movie just didn't appeal to me at all, and this is coming from someone who loves dumb humor type comedies so it's not like I don't enjoy the genre but I just didn't care for this movie!
