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