Ernest à la chasse aux monstres

In my opinion this is the best of all the Ernest movies. I'm a huge Ernest fan and also a Halloween nerd. For nostalgia reasons this movie will never get old ( along with most of the other Ernest movies). The make-up effects are awesome and it has a funny storyline. RIP Jim.

WARNING: POSSIBLE SPOILERS CONTAINED HEREIN. This is my first Ernest movie I've seen. I also confess that I am 37-years-old and I watched this movie by myself. That being said, I enjoyed it immensely and yes, I did laugh out loud. The movie has fun opening credits, some great troll monster costumes, and my favorite parts were the one-liners and insults, such as "squid lips" and "booger lips." Between the wonderful Halloween atmosphere, some good spooky moments, and the loony humor, there is not a dull moment in this entire movie- which is quite an accomplishment in and of itself, since I can't say that for alot of movies. Besides Varney's enthusiastic performance, Ertha Kitt delivers a wry performance as well. I guess now I am officially a Jim Varney/Ernest fan. Enjoy!

Moronic garbageman Ernest (Jim Varney) inadvertently frees a troll from a centuries-long imprisonment beneath a tree. Well, it's an Ernest movie so keep expectations simple. It is funny in spots and completely earnest (no pun intended). It's something children should enjoy more than adults. There's lot of slapstick humor and face mugging. Jim Varney repeats many of the same gags that he uses in most of his movies. Eartha Kitt is fun. The troll looks pretty cool. I gotta admit I laughed when Ernest called the troll 'booger lips.' So there's some laughs to be had if you still have some kid left inside. Gets better as it goes along.

'Ernest Scared Stupid' is a job well done for Ernest. This film combines the slapstick and subtle humor typical of any Ernest film, and it brings in the element of horror. The film is downright frightening for children, but it is not THAT frightening because of the reassurance that it is only a film. It's just made for children, after all. In this film, a troll breaks free from a curse and starts capturing children and turning them into dolls. It is up to Ernest to save the day and bring Halloween back -- without frightening trolls. I was amazed at how entertaining this film was; I saw it when I was about 11, and it was my first proper 'movie' I saw at the cinema, not counting classic Disney animated films. Halloween is mainly a children's affair anyway, and it is good to see that Ernest was able to bring it to the children: a little bit of laughter, a little bit of horror, and some child actors in important parts. It's what every child hopes for in a Halloween film.

Ernest Scared Stupid is by far the best Ernest movie yet. Our lovable bumbling idiot has to save the day this time from a bunch of trolls. Sounds like a cheap horror flick plot, but once you factor in Ernest......its non stop side splitting Ernest P. Worrell action. I mean, it even has his faithful dog Rimshot in it. You can't go wrong with that.

Loveable lunkhead Ernest P. Worrell (a lively and engaging performance by Jim Varney) accidentally unleashes ancient evil troll Trantor on the small country town of Briarville, Missouri. Director John R. Cherry III keeps the enjoyably silly story moving along at a zippy pace, ably crafts a fun ooga-booga Halloween atmosphere, and maintains an amiable lighthearted tone throughout. Moreover, it's acted with zest by an enthusiastic cast: Varney as usual has a ball as endearing dunderhead Ernest, who makes all kinds of goofy faces and cracks lots of choice one-liners.; the kids are earnest and appealing, Eartha Kitt delivers a delightfully fiery turn as the crazy Old Lady Hackmore, and John Cadenhead and Bill Byrge are hilarious as a couple of huckster store owners. The trolls are super gnarly creations done with great grotesque imagination by the Chiodo brothers. A total hoot.

This was the best Ernest movie of all. Jim Varney shines as the bumbling fool Ernest P. Worrell. The story basically has Ernest waking up a troll, who kidnaps and turns children to wood for his evil plans. Ernest must catch what he let out. Of course that ensures much mayhem and laughter (especially that giant bear trap). The plot resembles an old horror film but it works for Ernest. My opinion on the kids is, they help the plot work and make sense but got kind of annoying. The real reason to see this movie is to see what foolish thing Ernest does next. Overall a good film.
