Another fine performance by Jim Varney as well as a great movie

Ernest Rides Again is an excellent film. Jim Varney gives another great performance as Ernest P. Worrell, the foolish but lovable average joe. The story is much more solid and serious that the previous films. But that doesn't mean that there aren't any laughs to be had in this film. Clearly, a great Ernest movie.
