He achieves his dreams! One day he goes on a tour of the local jail. Three jail members have a plan to trick him in to replacing the one who looks exactly like him.Will he ever get his life back? Watch to find out!- cuttest girl about 11 yearsI have never heard of this movie neather im gonna check it out ...... it might be good....... or bad.
heyabout 11 yearsNever heard of this movie! I may have to check it out! (:- I like this movie it's hilarious I like the part when Ernest goes into the electric chair and they try to kill him but they fail and he attracts all the metal towards him and he can shoot people with beams of lightning. I like at the beginning when he goes crazy with the vacuum. I like when Ernest gets zapped with electricity again and he becomes weightless and Nash starts dribbling him up and down and back and forth. I like when Bobby and Nash get into the fight at the end. I like when Ernest goes to tell Chuck and Bobby when he got a job at court and Bobby is taking target practice and he almost shoots Ernest.
cvvover 11 yearsFun, funny movie! Like Ernest Goes to Camp, it cracks me up!
