Rating: Summary: It's a Knick-Knack Patty-Jack, Give the Frog a Loan! Review: Ernest is back, but this one wasn't as good as most Ernests but definatly better than Ernest Scared Stupid and Slam Dunk Ernest. There were a few things I didn't like, though. I didn't like the woman who cared about her car, she was a jerk. And when Ernest made that Yo-Yo the "Eyes" he made it out of became a compleatly different shape. And Ostrich eggs don't break that easily (you can stand on one and it still wouldn't break!). Dispite these things, it was still pretty good!

Rating: Summary: Maybe he's too funny to be appealing. Review: I saw this movie today and the one thing that disgusted me about this movie more than anything was that woman Renee. She totally deceived a funny, warm-hearted guy who really had feelings for her. How bitchy she treated him was in my opinion absolutely uncalled for. All he wanted was for her to be his girlfriend, but all he got was hurt feelings and deception instead. She was mean and what I'd rather see in a movie is a nice woman who gives the hero the love and romance he deserves.I hope you see my point in my sincere interview. Steve
Rating: Summary: Ernest's downfall Review: I've always pretty much liked the Ernest movies. Yes, they are silly and whatnot but they were always funny and I can't think of another actor who can make such funny faces. Unfortunately, in this one the budget was seemed to have been kept to a maximum of about 200 bucks. It's very low budget and it was dissappointing to see Ernest in something so stupid. The story was cheesy, flimsy, and stupid. The actors (excluding Ernest himself) were horrible, and it was altogether just cheesy. Ernest also wasn't very funny in this one at all. His co-star, that dumb waitress who goes along with Ernest to Africa was so mean and stupid I just wanted to slap her across the face. Anyways, there's not much to say about this movie except if you want some real Ernest, I'd suggest "Ernest goes to Jail","Ernest Scared Stupid", or "Ernest goes to school."
Rating: Summary: Almost realistic Review: In this film, Ernest wants a date with Renee, the waitress at a local diner. She considers herself to deserve more than this Mr. Nobody. At the advice of the other waitress, Ernest tries to win Renee's heart with a gift. Unfortunately, while shopping for the gift, he gets mixed up in a jewel theft involving stolen African treasure. That lands both Renee and Ernest in Africa, where they must try to evade capture by competing teams of jewel thieves. While in Africa, Ernest gets to try out an extended scene with the old lady in the green dress, and he does a masterful job as an Indian swami. The first time I saw this movie, I thought it lacked continuity. I found it somewhat strange to see Indians, Arabs, and Brits mixed in with the African characters, and I thought that Varney had gotten his geography thoroughly confused this time. I also found the stereotypes that he was playing with a bit offensive- -many of the characters certainly aren't politically correct. However, after seeing the film again after living years in the Middle East, I can now recognize the characters easily, and they are incredibly realistic and very funny indeed. Varney must have spent some time in East Africa before making this film. While he was there, he no doubt visited an Arabic palace in Zanzibar, had some run-ins with Indian servants and British hunters, and met some friendly tribesmen who taught him some key phrases in a Bantu language. Unlike some of Ernest's more kid-centered movies, this film doesn't have a moral theme. It's just Ernest on safari.

Rating: Summary: Ernest Goes to Africa Review: It is hillarious. Not one of the best Ernests, actually, the worst, but that is only because it is hard to top the other Ernests. It is still very good though. Jim Varney, is and always will be one of the funniest people on Earth. It is a fair price, so buy it right now.
Rating: Summary: Ernest does it again Review: No man has been able to entertain like Jim Varney. His Ernest character is able to get infinite laughs (at least from me) in his films. The great thing about these movies is that it can be enjoyed on so many levels. Children as well as adults. Each addition to the Ernest series is a masterpiece. In this film, Ernest visits Africa and his humor shines through in so many different ways. A sure fire hit if you're looking for a film to watch with the kids or a group of friends.
Rating: Summary: COMEDY CLASSIC! Review: One of the series' best finds Ernest in love and on the run from jewel thieves in Africa. It's great to see Ernest in such an exotic setting.
