Customer Reviews of Essential Ernest Collection

You've Got To Be A Varney Fan To Love This
This rating applies to the collection, itself...not the works, which are rated individually below. Thanks. <
> <
>Ernest Goes to Africa: typical B flick, filmed like live television, film quality is horrid, and the premise runs like Jim Carrey's When Nature Calls. This is pretty bad, and the least deserving of the Ernest line, but if you loved Varney, it's worth having, if only to complete your collection...2/5 <
> <
>Ernest in the Army: again, this is not his best work, but it's essential, if you are a fan of Varney. 2.4/5 <
> <
>Ernest's Greatest Hits 1 & 2: This appears to be what was once the little-known VHS entitled, "KnowhutImean?" I can't swear that this collection bears the exact same commercials and TV spots as in the mentioned work, but considering how KnowhutImean? is not available on DVD, this is more than adequate as a replacement, as some of the spots/ads/etc. are along the same vein. 4/5 <
> <
>Vern! It's My Family Album: I was hoping this would be Varney in all his wonderful characters, but alas! it was not. He assumes a few, but these skits and characters were obviously written for this work, and bear no resemblance to the characters we've come to know and love. 2/5. <
> <
>Your World As I See It: Mildly amusing pomposity on a stick, and something I hadn't expected from Varney. 3/5. <
> <
>Now, I realize these averages do not add up to 5/5 as I've rated this collection, but seeing as how some of these are hard to find and are superfluous to all but the most avid fan and/or collector, I rate the set itself as a 5/5. <
> <
>I miss you, Jim Varney. RIP, old friend.

Great Buy For Ernest Fans!
This is a great DVD set for Ernest fans. The two movies are funny but not the best Ernest films, however the Greatest Hits Volumes 1 & 2 and Hey Vern! It's My Family ALbum are worth the purchase alone. The family album is so funny and brings back childhood memories of watching a VHS version. The commercials are even more hilarious and it's fun to look at mechandise from the 80's. Like the old logos of Sprite and Mt. Dew and the McDonald's with all the "M's" in brown and yellow.
