A Hungry Lion Hunts Best (Know What I Mean)

The goofy yet lovable Ernest P. Worrell portrayed by the great (Jim Varney) is a classic comedy Icon of my childhood. Me and my cousin could laugh for hours just quoting lines from his films.Ernest Goes To Camp is my favorite of all the Ernest movies. Even though I enjoyed him saving Christmas, going to jail, and getting scared stupid, it always will be him as the dim witted Kamp Kikakee counselor of the last chance kids that I love best.From the classic jokes, to his endearing rendition of (Gee I'm Glad It's Raining), this is in my opinion the best Jim Varney performance as the Ernest character.

A pleasant distraction

Ernest's summer camp adventure is actually his second feature-length adventure after he began life in TV commercials (not a lot of people know he actually starred in Dr. Otto and the Riddle of the Gloom Beam the year before), and it's fairly standard mid-80s family fare.

The clumsy handyman (played, by the late, ever appealing Jim Varney) gets a job as a counselor for delinquent kids who are having trouble fitting in with the more privileged lot. Through pain and pranks he manages to build their confidence. A very tacked-on subplot about an evil businessman wanting scam the Indian camp owner in order to mine the area into oblivion builds to a moderately entertaining climax as Ernest and the kids revolt.

It reminded me a lot of Meatballs and Bushwhacked (both better films) and while it's shot for the big screen (in lovely anamorphic Panavision) John Cherry still directs like it's for TV, and clearly should have done more takes and rehearsals. I doubt kids will notice or care, but it gives the film the rushed feel of a TV production.

Worth watching, if only just once.
