4.0 out of 5 stars A Great Comedy That Should Be More Recognised, 29 Dec 2003
By no1filmaddict (UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
This was the first 'Ernest' film that i ever saw, and it was the one that succesflly got me pretty much hooked on them. To be honest, i can't understand why Ernest P Worrell has not become more popular. His mad antics are absolutly hilarious and its really just pure comedy, i.e its comedy but without the boring bits in the middle, but still manages to get a good storyline going.

This episode features Jim Varney as Ernest, who is selected for jury duty and when a crooked lawyer sees that he is a dead ringer for his client who is on 'death row' he organises a switch.

The acting in this film isnt altogether that great, but that isnt a problem in this type of film, and certainly doesent effect the comedy.

If there are any 'Ernest' fans out there all ready, then is this is a must see, because it my opinion it is the best out of all the Ernest films. If you are not an Ernest fan or have never heard of him at all, then still buy this video, and hopefully there will be a few more Ernest fans out there very soon.

5.0 out of 5 stars The importance of being Ernest, 5 Nov 2004
By bernie "xyzzy" (Arlington, Texas) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)      
Jim Varney made a series of films based on his milk commercial character "Ernest". This series of "Ernest" movies is mostly slapstick humor with some Varney faces and resembles a live cartoon. This is considered one of the best of the series.
In this movie Jim Varney plays a double role as a hardened convict and an aspiring bank janitor. Due to extenuating circumstances they trade places. And his faithful dog (Rimshot) is canned. Now before you recoil I mean the canine is restrained from exposing the imposter by being restrained in a trash can. Will Ernest be able to save the dog or is it all over?
