The single greatest piece of cinema excellence.......2007-02-16

This movie does not encompasses the world.. nor history.. nor anything that the human eye has ever captured. When one thinks of Ernest, one's mind goes right to Slam Dunk Ernest. That movie was delightful. No. No. It was brilliant. No, no, no, no. There is no word to describe its perfection, so I am forced to make one up. And I'm going to do so right now. Scrumtrilescent. Ernest's acting makes Gandhi look like a child pornographer.

Completely blown away.......2007-02-16

Why this movie was never nominated for an Academy Award, I haven't a clue. I watched this movie last night, and couldn't move afterward. The cinematography, the writing, the acting. It all came together like a Broadway produced ballet. I am definitely a better person for watching "Slam Dunk Ernest."

Ernest...Enough Said!.......2006-07-14

Indeed, this is not the best Ernest film that has ever been created, but it is still an Ernest film. Once again, Jim Varney plays Ernest, the clumsey man who has all the good intentions in the world and saves the day in the end. It's funny, you never picture Ernest as a basketball player and this movie proved that he isn't lol! The movie, as in his previous films, has good heart. If you are a fan of Ernest, you should at least check this film out. I'm not recommending that you buy it just yet. Compared to some of his other movies, the movie doesn't compare to greats such as Ernest Goes to Jail. Still, I can't help but feel a little sad now that Jim has passed and we no longer have Ernest to save the day. It was a great legacy, and the character is portrayed very weil in this film. The story is sadly just not much to work with.

Pure Acting Genius.......2006-01-09

I bought this movie simply for the cover, which I now have as the background on my computer. But now that I have seen the movie, a tear trickles down one cheek and I sit here speechless, unable to look at anything else in the world without thinking of the beauty that is the team of Ernest and the Basketball Angel, played marvellously by none other than Kareem-Abdul Jabbar. I will not spoil plot details, as other reviewers have covered that ground. Just know that when you see this, your life will change, and you will want the entire Ernest collection, as my wife and I have discovered. We made love to this sweet movie, timing our passionate thrusts to the dribbling basketball.

don't base your opinion of ernest movies on this one.......2005-05-24

Definitely the worst ernest movie i've ever seen- Very dissappionting- my family loves ernest movies- but this one is really bad. It doesn't reflect on or do justice to the earlier movies and the actors are terrible.

Definitely watch "Rides Again", "Goes to Jail", Saves Christmas", "Goes to Camp"
