Ernest Saves Christmas [DVD] [1988]

A fun nostalgic 80s Christmas movie. Jim Varney is great as always. Plus a warm and memorable portrayal of Santa. However the DVD is bare bones. No special features and the image doesn't automatically adjust for widescreen TVs. Meaning the picture has black bars on all 4 sides, the top, bottom, left, and right. You'll have to zoom or stretch the picture to fit your screen.

If you're here reading reviews, you've more than likely seen this movie, but it was years ago, right? I mean, it's Ernest. Of course, this gets 5 stars. This is probably my favorite Ernest movie, and is our Christmas staple. You can have Ralphie and Cousin Eddie. Give me Ernest, and I will feel the magic of Christmas, no problem.

I bought this for my cousin, but I have one of my own. It's not the usual Christmas movie (and I do have lots of those). It's Ernest, so you know it will be fun silliness. I really don't like most of the Ernest movies, but this one is different -- it actually has some touching moments when dealing with some characters' development. Worth checking it out if you haven't seen it.

I love how this is a good old time movie that's good for the family and friends.

This was one of my favorite Christmas movies as a kid and had not seen it in several years. Found it on sale and thought I would give it a watch for $4. Still funny. RIP Jim Varney.

Earnest is a great reminder of what really counts for Christmas Spirit & to keep throughout the year . This is a Fun & Inspirational movie . . . and one of my All Time Favorites . Be There or Be Square . . . Know What I Mean ?

I have been a fan of the ernest movies since I was a kid and even though I don't like this as much as his other films it is still a holiday classic in my opinion.

Got this for a Christmas gift. Grew up watching this around Christmas for several years. Ernest's adventures often lead to zany encounters and wearing ridiculous disguises, but this time he's doing it to help Santa!
