This was probably one of the worst Ernest movies. Don't waste your time. It says "adult humor" but it wasn't funny. There were a couple cute things, but "adult situations" would be more like it. "Very adult situations." But they don't SHOW anything, exactly, if that matters. Still, I wouldn't watch this movie again. Ever.

A struggle to watch--couldn't even crack a smile. The jokes fell flat, actors strained to be comical. My 11 year old said the scenes were fake looking and the movie had an "old fashioned" look to it (bad 80's to me)so we ejected after 39 minutes. The lowest budget disaster I've seen in a long time.

This was hillarious- of course it's campy- but That's Ernest!!!
