Ernest saves christmas movie#
Probably the best Ernest film featuring Jim Varney, mainly because it wisely features the lovable doofus during the Christmas season, complete with a retiring Santa, reindeer that leap from floor to roof at the postal warehouse, two elves arriving at the airport and eventually to accompany Ernest on a world trip (and around the world!), the sleigh and its "air brakes", and an actor often associated with the role of Santa looking to expand on his career through the aid of his encouraging agent (to star in a monster movie with gratuitous violence and foul language!). So, make a batch of mulled, spiced cider and buttered popcorn and put this one into the home theater machine in the very near future.
Its humor is infectious, not offensive, and its sweet tale will warm the hearts of its viewers. Please, do reconsider when it comes to this one. Perhaps you have heard that Varney's humor is sometimes of the gross-out nature and you would rather not share his films with your family. No one will find fault with the look of the film, either, as the costumes, sets, and production values are high. The rest of the cast, although unknown, are fine as well. Just watch him talk about "channel number 5 perfume" or a "failure to accumulate" and you will be laughing heartily. There is only one Ernest, of course, and Varney provides much comedic mayhem with his unique character. Is it up to Ernest to make sure Santa can fly on his big day? This is a sweet and fun family film that borrows a bit from Miracle on 34th Street and other holiday flicks.
Claus, Ernest learns, however, that the old man has been thrown in jail. Could this really have been Santa? Trying to return the sack to Mr. As Ernest opens the bag, he gets a glimpse of the bag's magical powers. The old man left his red, very large duffle-type bag on board. Picking up a Christmas tree that fell off a truck and a homeless young teenage girl with an attitude, Ernest makes his way over to Vern's house to decorate. He drops the old man off, however, at a retirement home, as requested. But, when the bearded one tells Ernest that his name is Santa Claus, Ernest doesn't really believe him. Although Ernest sings "O Christmas Tree" with only these three words, he's really a nice guy. Seeing a white-bearded gentleman who needs a cab, he hustles the old guy into his clutches and speeds off. One day, he crashes his taxi into the unloading area of the airport and must make a beeline out of the site.

7/10 Bethany CoxĮrnest (Jim Varney) is a cab driver who runs the airport routes in a big city. I do also think it is underrated there are much worse movies out there, namely any of the Friedberg-Seltzer movies, Home Alone 4 and Superbabies:Baby Geniuses 2. I got exactly what I wanted, a fun film that while predictable and silly is lots of fun too. It is far from a masterpiece, but seriously I wasn't expecting it to be. Ernest Saves Christmas is an above average seasonal comedy about the power of belief and the dignity of an individual. The opening credits with the collage of Christmas carols were a delight. And I actually thought the acting is above decent, with the late (and talented) Jim Varney wonderfully spirited as Ernest and Douglas Seale is simply great as Santa. The camera-work may be a tad dated, but the music is very nice indeed. Amongst the humour, is an in general heart-warming story about Santa and his attempts to find a successor. And I must say the scene with the magic sleigh was uproariously funny. While very predictable in plotting and rather repetitive and slow in the middle half especially in the first thirty minutes Ernest Saves Christmas does have its funny moments. Expect a harmless and fun Christmas comedy, that way you are in for a good time. Don't expect a sophisticated plot, and a superlative script. I will agree that it is very silly, and certainly not Oscar worthy. Ernest Saves Christmas is a very underrated Christmas holiday flick.
