I just finished watching Ernest Goes To Jail and have come to the conclusion that the 36 5-star reviews on Amazon were written from inside a mental hospital. This isn't so much a movie as it is a 90 minute exercise in how to make wacky facial expressions and theoretical celebrity impressions. As a side note, Imdb lists this movie as rated PG and the parent guide on there says there is no profanity, but I am 1000% sure that when Ernest is knocked unconscious by Lyle and dragged behind the dumpster that someone can be heard saying "Fuck". I will never forgive you for making me sit through this movie. The terrorists have won.

The craziest thing about this movie for me is the fact that it wasn't made for TV on either Lifetime or The Hallmark Channel given who the actors are in it. I feel like this movie was originally written with Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn in mind who both wouldn't return anyone's phone calls so the producers just started cold calling anyone and everyone and Broderick and Devito were the only two to answer the phone.
