Ernest Goes to Jail

1990 · 1h 21m · Comedy, Family, Crime

IMDb 5.5 Metacritic 40 RT 11%

Unless you're a die-hard Jim Varney completist or stuck babysitting kids with zero other options, skip this one. The critics torched it for good reason—those scores are rough across the board, and there's simply better family comedy out there tonight.

Plot

Bumbling bank janitor Ernest P. Worrell is assigned to jury duty, and soon finds himself in trouble when he is covertly switched with a look-a-like crime boss. Ernest must escape from jail to expose the mix-up.
