This movie many times better but not as good as the first three. Ernest Scared Stupid had zero point to it and wasn't funny. This is well Ernest back to being his funny old self although why it's not listed in his filmography here I don't know. Had to search for it by it's name not actor. Seems to have come out the same year as the Army movie. Yeah throw the brain out the window always. Ernest films will love it. Just 29 yrs is a long time to be irritated at the series. This was was a goofball. Loved it. Quality: 4/10 Entertainment: 8/10 Re-Playable: 6/10

Reading these reviews, it's important to know the writer's attitude toward all Ernest movies, in general. I LOVE Them. They are cheesy, slapsticky, corny, and entirely void of an interesting plot. But, they are good for a few chuckles, particularly when Ernest morphs into Astor Clement, or the Old Lady, etc. But more than that, there is a joyful warmth about them. And, they are family-friendly... not so much for teens, but for grandparents and youngsters on a Friday night. In "Ernest Goes to Jail", the villains were nasty, but appropriate for an Ernest movie. This time, the villains are TOO sinister for an Ernest movie. It's like Ice Cream in Beer. There is no actual Graphic Violence, but what's left to the imagination is disturbing, especially for the kiddos. It feels like the violence was only limited for the budget, not for the target audience's taste. "Ernest Goes to Africa" seemed to go out of its way (In this case, all the way to Africa) to suck the "Feel Good" out of the movie. This movie was filmed entirely in Africa... even the scenes which are set in Ohio. Somehow, I think it would've worked better to film the entire movie in Ohio, or perhaps, Florida. Other reviewers have complained about the scenery, not knowing that it's really Africa. Cheesy African scenery from America would've been easily forgiven, and probably made it more fun. It's still good for a few laughs, but it's at the bottom of the list for me.

While this movie does have a bit of a darker feel, it is still a good one. I know it has been said that every other actor-besides Varney-were C movie actors. Well, maybe, maybe not. I think it's because Varney has a way of stealing a scene or a show and overshadowing every one. My favorite character-besides Ernest-came out. Good old bitter, Auntie Nelda. She's always fun to watch. Hey, You the Hindu cracked me up and was the first time I've seen that character. But what really took the cake was Varney dressed up as a Harem Girl and dancing to the beat of his own drum. But, 'she' catches the eye of the prince and, not knowing that the Harem Girl is really a man-Varney, the prince kisses 'her'. I laughed so hard especially when the camera got a close up of Varney doing his 'Eewwwww' face. I have to say, Varney doesn't look bad in a blond wig and false lashes. It also got me to wondering, since Varney and Robin Williams were friends, did Varney's character, Auntie Nelda inspire Robin's character, "Mrs. Doubtfire"? Coincidence? They do resemble one another quite well. I do wish that 'Ernest the Pirate' was finished. I would've loved to add that to my large 'Jim Varney' collection. I'm happy about my array of Ernest movies and sad as well because I know there will be no more and I have to be satisfied with all the Ernest movies and Jim Varney movies I have. And no, I will NOT resort to watching the 'New Ernest'. That would be an insult to the 'Real Ernest'. It's like a slap in the face to Varney. I recommend watching this movie but I will say this: it isn't for small children. Teenagers are OK. No, there's no bad language or crude, sexual content. But there is the deal with the rhino named Dorothy who takes the heads off the goons, which you don't see but it's implied. And there is an implication of cannibalism. So, no not for the younger crowd. It is rated PG, so adults have to decide if their kids can watch it. I love it! I'm a sucker for anything Ernest.

My head hurts, not because this ,movie is so incredibly bad that it defies belief, but because there actually people who think that it is a good movie! I really can't recall ever seeing a movie as bad as this, but I'm sure there must be others out there. I just can't help feeling sorry for people who think that rubbish like this is worth the time and effort to even make, let alone watch. Good comedy this is not. It's so bad that it makes some REALLY poor comedy offerings look good! It guess some 8 year-olds somewhere might find it funny, but how any adult can possibly find this tripe funny enough to watch all the way through escapes me. I have watched quite a few bad comedies for longer than I should have, in the vain hope that they might improve, but this is in a class all its own! One or two references to other movies evoke a smile, but a gut wrenching laugh is out of the question watching this embarrassing attempt at humour.

Not the best Ernest movie but still a nice one. It is a typical Ernest movie where he plays the idiot and the other characters support the effort. When things go wrong in America he ends up in Africa with the women of his dreams. She of course does not appreciate it but has no other option but to go along with Ernest. The scenes with the African(?) natives is fairly funny and the fact that Ernest wins their support and help is of course necessary for the plot, otherwise the bad guys would win. The bald, fat guy who is one of the main bad guys does his job well and of course gets his come-uppence by the end of the movie.

I saw this on WAM last night and had to see it. As another viewer said, there were flashes of pure brilliance so in contrast with the bad plot. Basically all the Ernest humor was really good. Anything having to do with Africa was bad. Sometimes, it wasn't clear whether the filmmakers knew the difference between Africa and India, as Indian accents abounded. Jamie Bartlett was also an excellent villain. Somehow seeing him yell the standard, "You fools!" at his henchmen gave a kind of satisfaction you don't normally get from a B-movie villain. Regardless, it was an Ernest movie, thus stupid by definition. If you like Varney's characters (Ernest/Hey You/etc[you shouldn't know about all of them]) then you should definitely see this movie.

Fate puts a pair of priceless items in Ernest's hands and he gets kidnapped and taken to Africa because of it. This was my first Ernest film so I can't compare it to his others, but I thought it was fairly amusing. Good stuff if you like slapstick humor and plain old clowning around.

The movies fine, but the ending action sequence was easily the most comedic and best thing about this film.

I hate that this will be the last Ernest film ever made by Jim Varney. I hate that we will never get to hear him talk to Vern, his ornery and uptight (and invisible) neighbor. I hate that people hate this flick, but it's not as bad as they say. Ernest attempts to win the heart of a pretty waitress by gifting her with an artifact, which unbeknownst to Ernest holds Magickal powers. This is truly funny, and an Ernest classic. Face it. They only say they hate it because it strays a bit from the classic Ernest formula. This film is quite endearing, as much so as the best of them. It rates a 6.4/10 from... the Fiend :.
