Ernest movies usually get bad reviews and ratings. I think that is because they are pretty sophomoric and low level for a lot of viewers. I find them to be relaxing and a movie I can watch without locking in on the plot. Just a good funny movie without a lot of fanfare. Jim Varney plays Ernest P. Worrell, a know it all with no concept of reality or responsibility. He is just a good ole boy with out a lot of smarts or knowledge. In this one Ernest must combat an evil creature that he has unknowingly released from its imprisonment. Eartha Kitt is excellent as the seeress (?) with the information that is needed. It turns out that the creature, who has captured several kids and turned them into wooden little replicates. Ernest finally figures out the riddle and tosses milk on the evil one. It shrinks down to nothing and all the people it had turned into little wooden dolls are restored to life.
