Man, why did I rent this movie! While Hey You the Hindu was great and the story reeked of typical Ernest proportions, this film should have never been made. Sometimes stupidity takes a backseat to nostalgia, but from now on, I'm listening to my gut more often. What a pitiful movie to watch, one which didn't need to be the swan song of Jim Varney and his lovable character Ernest P. Worrell. The story was horrible, it was slow and dull, and the film stock clearly indicated the series had hit rock bottom. What a sad waste.
