ERNEST SAVES CHRISTMAS (Theatrical Release USA 1988)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 3.2|5.0 Starsììì

Ernest Saves Christmas
—why love Jim Varney? Is it his wistful, comedic approach to the big screen that commands audience? This movie, typical Jim Varney, completely ‘stupid’ (for lack of a better word), is so likable that it nearly becomes impossible to fault. The film is a good holiday choice that thoroughly explores Varney’s comedic talents.
