Ernest goes to School - 2/5

This movie lives and dies on its ridiculous comedy antics. Everything about this movie is laser focused on hitting its target audience and as such succeeds at feeling like a ‘90s kids TV show with high production value. It’s not really my brand of humor, but if it’s yours you’ll love it.

Closest comparison: It’s like The Waterboy by way of Pee Wee’s Playhouse.

Setting: Back to School
Plot: Back to School
Tone: Screwball Comedy
