hellholehorror Not the most adventurous but nothing bad either. It is pretty silly and unimaginative. It is a children's film but it is quite fun for an adult. Ernest is the only memorable character, all the others are instantly forgettable. He's not even the best children's entertainment character in movies, Pee-Wee is my favourite!

Terryfan Ernest P Worrell is one of the many beloved characters of my childhood.The Guy just made me laugh and created many good comedy moments that I like so much.Ernest Scared Stupid is both funny and scary while it is still a family film there are moments that might be too much for children.However with the comedy that is strong in this film, there are moments that you will be replaying over and over that still remain as funny as they did back then. Ernest just has that comedy timing that knows when it works.Plus the intro for Ernest Scared Stupid with Ernest reacting to classic horror film scenes just set the mood for the film along with a original story that will make you never look at a film like this ever again.Mixing comedy and scary films is always risking but lucky this film does a good job with that. It has both humor, scary to it a long with emotion. Ernest Scared Stupid just proof how you're suppose to make something like this just work while there are moments in the films that might be not be wise to let younger eyes see it the film is just one that the family will enjoyI give Ernest Scared Stupid an 8 out of 10

wes-connors While building a tree-house in the woods, garbage collector Jim Varney (as Ernest P. Worrell) unwittingly releases a treacherous troll named Trantor. The mythological little monster proceeds to kidnap Briarville's children and turn them into little wooden dolls, in a plot to unleash an army of evil demons on an unsuspecting world. When Mr. Varney proves himself too stupid to stop the onslaught, heroic young Austin Nagler (as Kenny Binder) assists. Eartha Kitt has a witchy featured role. No doubt this film was most appreciated by the very young in 1991.**** Ernest Scared Stupid (10/11/91) John Cherry ~ Jim Varney, Austin Nagler, Shay Astar, Eartha Kitt

ccthemovieman-1 This was the first "Ernest" movie, I think, that I watched and I was surprised that it wasn't as stupid as I thought it was or the title convinced me it would be. It really wasn't "stupid" until the last 20 minutes, but a lot of movies get really dumb in the last half hour.For most of the movie, it was nice, lighthearted fun that - cliché aside - is fun for the "whole family." There is nary a bad one word in this movie and it's old-fashioned slapstick fun and about as innocent as it gets. Having said that, I realize a lot of people would still consider the movie as a dumb one but I always liked Jim Varney and laughed at the most of the stuff he did, beginning with those famous TV commercials of his.In the last 30 years, how many comedies do you see without a tons of sex and profanity? Almost none......so give "Ernest" some slack.
