Reviews for Ernest Goes to Camp
Totally undeserving of its status as a punchline, this may be no classic but it's a fine kiddie tale
Has some honest laughs ... but it also spawned Ernest's movie career. Call it a toss-up.
Just exactly like every other Ernest movie you've ever seen. And yet, Varney's innocent playfulness is somehow oddly appealing.
