Ernest Scared Stupid Audience Reviews

BroadcastChic Excellent, a Must See
Contentar Best movie of this year hands down!
Tyreece Hulme One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.
Catherina If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
gwnightscream Jim Varney and Eartha Kitt star in this 1991 comedy sequel. The late, Varney is back as goofy guy, Ernest P. Worrell who now works as a sanitation worker. He learns that his ancestor cursed the Town, Briarville long ago when entombing an evil Troll that attacks children. On Hallow's Eve, Ernest unwittingly awakes it and fights against it along with it's minions learning that Milk destroys them. Kitt (Boomerang) plays Old lady Hackmore, a strange woman who helps Ernest save the Town. This isn't a bad film that's basically a send-up of horror & B-movies. It has some goofy & spooky moments and Varney was great as Ernest as usual. I recommend this.
jvfunn1 I bought Ernest Scared Stupid a few years ago at WAL-MART and I must say I found it to be funny. In the movie Ernest (Jim Varney) releases a 200 year old troll that turns kids into dolls. I found the movie to be hilarious especially in the scene when Ernest is working on the garbage truck and everything goes wrong. Jim Varney gave such a good performance as goofy old Ernest and Eartha Kitt gave a good performance as Old Lady Hackmore. I also must say the troll was pretty scary. That thing freaked me out when I saw it on the screen! Filled with hilarious scenes and laughs Ernest Scared Stupid is a true Halloween Film anyone can enjoy! Jim Varney was such a Great Comic Talent who is no longer with us. I give the movie 10 out of 10.
Lee Eisenberg The Ernest movies were ridiculous, pointless, and quite frankly, a distraction from anything realistic; and yet they were so lovable. Maybe it's just knowing that Ernest P. Worrell (Jim Varney) will always try his hardest to do something honest and benevolent, but always end up doing the most idiotic and embarrassing thing possible; think of him as Gilligan's successor. In "Ernest Scared Stupid", he accidentally awakens an evil troll who proceeds to go around kidnapping children with the aim of becoming indestructible.Yes, it's total escapism, but the good kind. The perfect movie to watch with a bud. You gotta admit that some of the stuff here makes you laugh just because of its unpredictability. "Miak" is probably the best example.Anyway, it's pretty fun. Also starring Eartha Kitt (happy birthday, Eartha!).
Sandra Rh Boy do I love this movie. Yes it is Stupid, Yes it is Funny, No it isn't the best film out there. However, I try to watch it every Halloween. This year however it didn't come on TV. So I have decided to buy it. I'm getting it because it is one movie that will scare my three year old without making her terrified for the rest of her life: like child's play, Halloween, Freddy, and Jason movies. This year I didn't get to watch one Halloween movie because they were all too scary for her to watch so I can't wait to get this movie in the mail, even though Halloween is already over. This movie is about a bumbling Ernest who can of course never do anything right. To save the world he has to fight mean Trolls that steal children.
