Ernest Goes To Jail [HD]

Ernest! Ernest! Ernest!
Jim Varney in one of his best misadventures! The story-line is absolutely hysterical...Jim Carrey and the young Jerry Lewis couldn't have done it better!

Critics take note..there is no such thing as "low-brow" comedy..educated people call it slapstick, and not everyone can do it well. Jim Varney had a "gift", and he knew how to use it...combining this original story with his personality and antics resulted in a gut busting FUNNY film.

I have seen countless great comedies that run the gamut,from The Stooges to Woody Allen. "Ernest Goes To Jail" is right up there with the best comdeies you could own! Too bad it's not on DVD.

Even Walt Disney would have approved!

A Great Movie; A VERY Poor DVD
I really wanted to give this movie the five stars it so rightly deserves, but I can't. The DVD is just very, VERY poor. I will get to that later.

I always loved the Ernest movies when I was a kid, and even today at age 20, I still find them as funny and humerous as I did when I was little, if not more. "Ernest Goes to Jail" is by far my favorite Ernest movie.

Ernest always seems to get in trouble, and this movie is no exception. Ernest P. Worrell works as a janitor at a bank; or at least TRYING to work. Things go horribly wrong when Ernest is framed by a ruthless convict who looks EXACTLY like him, and is sent to the big house. While the evil look-alike is living his life, Ernest has to make it out of jail alive in hopes of proving his innocence. But of course, as always, nothing ever comes easy for Ernest. And the results are hillarious.

Jim Varney is as hillarious as ever in this out-of-control comedy. Forget Jim Carrey, THIS guy was the king of physical comedy. He...

Absolutly the best Ernest film!
This is the greatest Ernest film of all time! I couldn't care less of what Leanard Maltin says. If he thinks you IQ has to be lower than 12 to enjoy this movie, then my IQ is lower than 12 (but how would you explain my A in Algebra?). This and Ernest Saves Christmas are the best of the Ernest movies! They are fun for all ages (and IQs)! Too bad Jim Varney had to die. I guess all those electric shocks that turned him into "Ernest P. Worrell, Electroman" finally kicked in, and my he rest in peace.
