Review of Ernest Saves Christmas (1988) by Kevin R — 12 Dec 2015
May the force be with you!
Santa arrives in sunny Florida looking to recruit his long term replacement so he can retire. The man he wants to offer the position to is an actor and his agent won't let Santa talk to him. Meanwhile, a strange taxi driver helps Santa get where he needs to go without interrupting Christmas...even if that means delivering the presents for him.
"It's not who you know, it's what you know.".
John Cherry III, director of Ernest Goes to Jail, Ernest Scared Stupid, Ernest Rides Again, Ernest in the Army, Ernest Goes to Africa, and Pirates on the Plain, delivers Ernest Saves Christmas. The storyline for this picture is entertaining and fun to watch unfold for what it is. The comedic content is inconsistent but the acting is fun. The cast includes Jim Varney, Douglas Seale, Oliver Clark, Noelle Parker, Billie Bird, and Gailard Sartain.
"Alien goats.".
I came across this on Netflix and have always been a fan of the Ernest films since I was a kid. My daughter and I watched it together the other night and I was shocked she watched it from beginning to end. This is far from a classic holiday film, but it is a funny film to watch with your children.
"What we have here is a failure to accumulate.".
Grade: C+.
