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

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

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