Ernest Goes to Jail

Ernest Goes to Jail (1990) is a goofy family comedy you can watch online on iFILM — the third film in director John Cherry's Ernest series, once again built around Jim Varney's rubber-faced, endlessly cheerful dimwit Ernest P. Worrell.

Jury duty lands Ernest face-to-face with a mob boss who happens to be his spitting image. The switch is made, Ernest ends up behind bars with an execution scheduled, and a freak jolt of electricity gives him superpowers he has absolutely no idea what to do with. The real criminal regrets everything. Unpretentious and cheerfully chaotic — exactly what the franchise promised, and Varney delivers. Stream Ernest Goes to Jail online on iFILM.
