Description
Everybody's favorite know-it-all, Ernest P. Worrell, scares up heaps of hilarious laughs in this frightfully funny comedy! The loveable lunkhead is in for a devil of a time when he accidentally unleashes an evil demon from its sacred tomb, causing the awakened foe to go on a devastating rampage. Ernest desperately attempts to prevent the destruction of town, but a 200-year-old curse renders Ernest Scared Stupid! And that's when the fun and adventure begin! Loaded with uproarious hilarity, and a host of outrageously kooky characters, this big-screen treat delivers off-the-wall nuttiness that's sure to drive you wild any time of the year!

More Innocent Than Stupid (Which Is A Good Thing).......2007-09-06
This was the first "Ernest" movie, I think, that I watched and I was surprised that it wasn't as stupid as I thought it was or the title convinced me it would be. Well, the last 20 minutes was, but a lot of movies get really dumb in the last half hour.
Most of it was nice, lighthearted fun that - cliché aside - is fun for the "whole family." There is nary a bad one word in this movie and it's old-fashioned slapstick and about as innocent as it gets.
In the last 30 years, how many comedies do you see without a tons of sex and profanity? Almost none......so give "Ernest"his due.
Ernest Scared Stupid.......2007-08-10

Ernest's Greatest Film.......2007-05-12

Grandson loves it........2006-11-05
We have racking our brains for older shows that our kids loved for our grandkids. The tv today is simply brainless shy of moral values.
Ernest rocks and our five year old grandson laughs himself silly.
A TERRITYING & TERRIFIC 'ERNEST' MOMENT IN CINEMATIC HISTORY.......2006-10-27
JUST WHAT IS 'ERNEST SCARED STUPID'?
A terrifying and terrific 'Ernest' moment in cinema history. Indeed, 'Ernest Scared Stupid', is rapidly becoming a neo-classic Halloween fairy-tale, featuring the clown-prince of modern slapstick -- the memorable Jim Varney. Though Jim Varney is sorely missed he will live forever within the very special films, like this one, that he presented to a world in dire need of something silly to muse over.
IN A NUTSHELL: JIM VARNEY TEAMS UP AGAIN WITH DIRECTOR/SCREENWRITER JOHN CHERRY
This is a really cute and highly enjoyable Halloween yarn that the entire family can appreciate without being inappropriate for the younger members of the family.
Jim Varney - Ernest P. Worrell
Austin Nagler - Kenny
Shay Astar - Elizabeth
Jonas Moscartolo - Trantor
Ernest Fosselius - Trantor the Troll [Voice]
Eartha Kitt - Old Lady Hackmore
Larry Black - Mayor Murdock
Jackie Welch - Teacher
HERE'S SOMETHING OF THE STORY LINE: [plot spoilers below]
200 years ago in Briarville an direct ancestor of Ernest saved the village from an evil troll and, after trapping, banished to the underworld deep beneath an oak tree which was then being planted.
That would have been the end of the story, as there was only one way for Trantor, the evil troll, to return to menace us on Earth. Essentially, Ernest, as the only decendant of the original Reverend Phinneaus Worrel was the only human who could bring the curse of Trantor back. There was a long list of things Ernest would have to do in order for Trantor to return, which included disturbing the roots of the now 200 year old oak tree, and reciting some old-english jibberish. Naturally, Ernest did just this, never realizing the significance of his acts -- of course!
Trantor, as he did 200 years before, goes about his business of terrorizing and imprisoning the souls of the children, leaving only a wooden facsimile of his victims after their capture. Ernest and his tree house club friends are the only ones who believe that Trantor has returned, with the exception of 'Old Lady Hackmore' [Eartha Kitt], who still has some missing loved ones to retrieve from Trantor's last visit 200 years earlier. Yes, that makes 'Old Lady Hackmore' a really old lady.
The problem is simple, no adults including the mayor and sheriff believe what Ernest is telling them. So Briarville will depend on Ernest and the local pre-teens to defeat Trantor and his invading army. How Ernest and his young friends defeat Trantor is what 'Ernest Scared Stupid' is all about.
ABOUT THE DVD:
Frankly, this DVD is in full-frame and does not play as well as I would have expected. Also, there are NO FEATURES whatsoever, unless you consider close-captioning a Special Feature. That is a real shame because like most of Jim Varney's fans I am anxious to discover whatever I can about the world of 'Ernest' and his films.
BOTTOM LINE: KINDNESS WINS THE DAY AGAIN FOR ERNEST
Ernest has all his ducks lined-up for this epic. He has his usual array of strange mechanical gadgets that don't quite work right, rimshot, his trusty sidekick pup and most of the town's 12 year olds as his closest friends, plus many of Ernest multiple personalities. On top of all this he has Halloween and a scary Troll story that is really well produced, perhaps that slickest Ernest production ever. All of this and funny too without violence, sex or profanity. In fact, the successful conclusion of the film truly demonstrates how kindness rather than hate or violence can win the day.
