Ernest Goes to Camp
Kamp Kikakee janitor Ernest finally gets to be counselor, for a bunch of juvenile delinquents. The clumsy Ernest has to care for them, although he doesn't even know how to take care of himself. He goes out of his way to help the campers, but his efforts instead lead to slapstick chaos.

Just exactly like every other Ernest movie you've ever seen. And yet, Varney's innocent playfulness is somehow oddly appealing.

Feverishly funny family fun

Has some honest laughs ... but it also spawned Ernest's movie career. Call it a toss-up.

Ernest did much better in some of the follow-ups.

Typical, typical Ernest nonsense, cookie cutter funny.

Totally undeserving of its status as a punchline, this may be no classic but it's a fine kiddie tale
