Ernest Saves Christmas Reviews

---

sometimes you just need to laugh
It's very heartening to know that so many people appreciate this movie. Maybe the world is not as cynical as I suspected. This is one really funny movie and one I would recommend.

The scene where Ernest delivers a Christmas tree to Vern's house has to be one of the most hilarious things I have ever seen. You REALLY need to let your guard down just once if you haven't seen this film and just laugh and marvel at the characters Jim Varney can improvise. Pour yourself some potent eggnog, I don't know. We all need this kind of therapy now and then.

Back in the 80's you could make a movie like this. Ernest was always just a kindhearted bumbler; innocent and funny. Think about some of the elements in light of today's culture. A cynical but positively stunning runaway girl just starts staying with Ernest at his house. At one point she is wearing a schoolgirl outfit with pigtails - and walks right into a prison cell past a bunch of men who pay no attention to her at all. Back in 1988 when I first saw this movie that didn't seem particularly weird at all. That was 1988 and this is now.

Just like some of the anachronisms in Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer or A Charlie Brown Christmas, you just have to kick back at Christmas time and drink a toast to better days when you watch Ernest Saves Christmas. I only hope Jim Varney knew how much people loved him.

NOT REALLY TOO FUNNY OR ENJOYABLE
THIS TIME AROUND, SANTA CLAUS RETIRES AND IT'S UP TO ERNEST TO GET HIM BACK BEFORE CHRISTMAS COMES. NOT REALLY FUNNY AND IT'S JUST NOT THAT ENJOYABLE. THIS WAS THE SECOND MOVIE IN THE ERNEST SERIES. KIDS WILL PROBABLY LIKE THIS ONE, BUT OLDER TEENS [LIKE MYSELF] OR ADULTS WON'T REALLY FIND TOO MUCH OF ANYTHING TO ENJOY IN THIS MOVIE. SKIP THIS ONE. FOLLOWED BY ERNEST GOES TO JAIL.
