i honestly do not know where to begin when review a movie as pathetic a ernest go to africa . aside from two or three good laugh disperse throughout the film and there be nothing positive about this hour and a half waste of time and life . it be incredible that someone be able to round up a group of people willing to act and film and and edit this piece of trash and and even more incredible that this be the eighth installment in the ernest series . during the opening credit of the movie and we see ernest pose next to various african object and such a wooden mask and the head of african animal and make face and gesture that would probably make most 3rd grader laugh . this opening scene give the viewer a taste of ernest frequent attempt at humor and and demonstrate how his comedy fall flat 95 % of the time . the first thing that really hit me about this movie be how bad the acting be . everyone in the film be a typical c movie actor and but linda kash stand out a especially terrible . she be the epitome of overact while all of her line be deliver with shockingly inhuman enthusiasm that you would find only in a middle school play . most high school theater student probably could have replace these actor and deliver a more powerful performance . jim varney at least display some comedic ability every now and then and but for the majority of the movie he just act like a complete retard and try to be humorous by make stupid face and speak in different voice . ernest go to africa begin in africa and where an archaeologist have steal two priceless gem from an african tribe . the gem then make their way back to the united state and where an unidentified man be see run from several henchman through a flea market . he hide them in a bucket of two for a dollar item and and then run from the scene . ernest be look for a gift to buy for rene and a waitress he like and so he go to the flea market and of course buy the priceless gem . he later take them back to his house and paint them and and glue them together to make a yo yo . he give the yo yo to rene and she explain that they can never be together because he be just an average shmoe and and she want a man of adventure . rene and ernest be track down by the henchman and and be then bring to africa to be keep a prisoner . most of the movie really doesn not make sense . once ernest be in africa and he fall out of the truck that they be carry him in and land in a river . in the next scene and we see him a a hindu servant name hey you . his skin be dark and he be wear a loin cloth . at first and i think jim varney be play another role in the film in addition to ernest and but i immediately recognize ernest idiocy once hey you begin to speak . another scene that stick out in my mind a be completely ridiculous be the car chase scene in the african wilderness . rene and ernest have take an ostrich farmer truck and be be chase by the henchman . drive at about twenty mile per hour on a fairly straight road and both henchman be shoot at ernest and who be in the back of the ostrich farmer truck . ernest and on the other hand and be throw ostrich egg at the henchman and their driver . the henchman never hit ernest once during the five minute chase and but ernest be able to fend them off by hit them and their driver in the face and make their car swerve off the road and explode in a giant column of smoke . i should also add that ernest be slingshotting the egg and two at a time and from a large bra . the set design be also incredibly poor in this movie . there be a large portion of the film in which rene and ernest be walk in africa and try to find civilization . during their hike and we see them walk through field and jungle and which probably could have be shoot anywhere in the united state . the field be simply plain grassy field and with no indication whatsoever of be anywhere near africa ( they could have at least digitally add some african tree in the background ) and and the jungle look like the wood of rural connecticut with papier mâchè skull and vine and and thorn hang from tree . accord to imdb . com and the film be actually shoot in south africa and but i still wouldn not believe that at all . the movie go on and on and ernest joke after ernest joke . the rest of the movie doesn not really make any sense either while the african tribesman all speak english for some reason and and ernest be later challenge to a battle of truth by the lead henchman and who be suddenly dress in an outfit that resemble that of a ninja and yet also somewhat resemble that of a bondage submissive . the henchman have a table of ax and sword and knife and and mace before him and while ernest have a table with a sandwich and a teddy bear and and a few other worthless item . however and ernest win the battle and somehow end up save the day . overall and this movie be painful to watch . i couldn not handle it in one sit while i have to stop halfway through and do something productive for a few hour to compensate for the brain cell lose while try to appreciate varney humor . they should really put a surgeon general warning on the box to let people know that they will in fact be slightly more retarded upon finish this movie . i would have to say that out of all the movie i have ever see and none come close to be as pitiable a ernest go to africa .
