That was an excellent one.
Did you people see the same film I saw?
what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
He is an amazing guy in person..though I have not talked with him since 94 when I was living in Vegas he was proud of what he got to be. He's just a really nice person. When I was 14 I had to do an accapella star spangled banner for school talent show. He encouraged me to try. I did it even though my family did not attend. But he made me feel special. He patted my back and said I should be proud I did an awesome job. That was years ago but I still remember as though it was yesterday. He may have had secondary roles in the films but he was a number one actor in my heart. Thank you Mr. Schumacher. I will always remember your kindness and creativity. You star shines bright. I wish you would have acted more. It was something you loved. As do I.
This was the first theatrical fare for Ernest P. Worrell, the lovable and clumsy character from the 80s TV commercials. Not sure exactly how it went from "Hey, Vern" to starring in a string of his own movies (not even sure how many there are).In this Ernest movie, he is in charge of taking care of kids sent to a juvenile detention camp for kids who are considered trouble. As always though, Ernest causes chaos and must ensure that he fixes his mistake by the end of the film. Chief Dan George (although Italian, and not Native American) makes a small role helping Ernest to teach the kids to behave.I rated the film a 5/10 just because it is slow paced, much more than the other Ernest films.
For the time the movie was great. Jim Varney is a hilarious actor and it is sad he had to died. But the movie had great comedy and this is just another classic Ernest film I would recommend everyone should see.First the comedy in the film was great and original. The camera angles were perfect.The idea of kids from a detention center going to a camp was great. What I didn't like was all the whole native American thing they had going on. But the battle for the camp at the end was great especially the whole launching turtles into the sky and then have them parachute down onto the people and bite them.But the best part was probably when he was sitting down in the lawn chair and then he was cooking and got pulled into the fire and then jumped into the lake which I thought was pure comedy gold.
I have not seen this movie in years but I remember as a kid that I loved it.Every time an Ernest movie all the kids would get excited and we'd all talk about how we had to see it. Then we did and thought we were super cool. Doesn't anyone else remember that?Ernest movies were wonderfully goofy. Maybe we are too spoiled these days to appreciate a simple silly camp movie. I am surprised at it's relatively poor rating.
