bad but laughable, 14 July 2003
5/10
Author: colinwhitefan

The army's most unlikely soldier, Ernest (Jim Varney), finds himself responsible for saving the world when he and his fellow soliders are sent out to take down a evil tyrant. Maybe the worst in the Ernest series, this was bad, but didn't leave you mad like other bad movies do but, hey its Ernest so you should expect this silly mess.
