steve d @RT35616104 07/09/2020 Probably my favorite of the series, I had a lot of fun. See more Michael W @mawilps 04/22/2020 This Ernest movie was alright. Jim Varney and the rest of the cast did a decent job in this movie. The plot to the movie was goofy as expected, but it wasn't as great as the previous ones. Not everyone will enjoy this movie. I probably wouldn't recommend this Ernest movie to people. It's not worth it. See more 04/14/2017 Fun kids movie. I had a good time with it when I was young, and still got a couple laughs out of it now. One of the better of the series.

Much like Peter Sellers the formula for the films grew tiring for the audience. Not the bomb Ernest goes to prison was but not far behind it. See more 09/16/2015 At this point, the ungrateful public was no longer going to see Ernest in theaters, so his filmography up unto his death consists mainly of direct-to-video releases. This is the first. Kids will be bored by the historical mumbo jumbo that serves as a key element to understanding the plot. In fact, this whole production seems to be one note short of a symphony. There are some honest laughs. (Well, it made me laugh, anyway, I can't speak for everyone else. Then again, I am an advocate for Jim Varney and the Ernest character to be placed in a higher echelon of comedic admiration. He certainly deserves it more than Adam Sandler!) But this is one of the most wildly uneven of the Ernest films, none of which were meant to be great cinema, but this one seems especially forced and hurried. Non-essential viewing. See more 10/03/2014 Everyone's favorite handyman, Ernest P. Worrell, continues his misadventures in Ernest Rides Again. When an unorthodox college professor advances an unconventional theory about the Revolutionary War, Ernest attempts to help him out by finding a fabled colonial cannon called Goliath. The production values are quite poor and the performances aren't much better. Still, the film delivers a few laughs (intentional and otherwise), and there's some excitement to the pursuit of the cannon. Mildly entertaining, Ernest Rides Again is alright for kids (but there's not much here for anyone else). See more Read all reviews
