Between 1983 and 1997, Jim Varney gave us the Ernest anthology of films. This series was seemingly resurrected by Martin Scorcese, in this unofficially subtitled addition "Ernest Tap Dances On My Last Nerve For 3 Hours".
Come on folks, this is a Scorcese film. The man who gives us endlessly rewatchable films like Goodfellas, Casino, Wolf of Wall Street. Fantastic pieces of work that will last forever.
This is not such a film.
It is bloated. Poorly paced. Starved of any real emotions for much of its duration. And when the end comes to finally put it out of its misery, it lacks any punch. Much to the chagrin of the director who casts himself in an overly-wrought cameo.
It isn't a catastrophe. De Niro puts in a great day's work, Di Caprio is consumed by the role. There are plenty of fine actors around them doing fine work. It's just a mess of edits and lacking focus.
I struggle to see a great film in this even if the fat was taken off it. It just isn't a masterpiece in hiding. And that's sad because the bones of the story itself is well worth telling.
They say every great fighter has one great fight left in him. I wonder if we have seen that already from Scorcese and this is one fight too many...
Spectacular movie, but also very sad since it was Paul Reubens's last movie.
Smart, funny and has aged really well over 40 years. Jim Henson's legacy still rings high today.
Unfrosted - :heart:x7
This is simply a fun, silly look at the cereal wars of the 1960s. Bottomline, it put a huge smile on my face - it really is quite silly and fun!!
How I rate:
1-3 :heart: = seriously! don't waste your time
4-6 :heart: = you may or may not enjoy this
7-8 :heart: = I expect you will like this too
9-10 :heart: = movies and TV shows I really love!
It’s a ridiculous story…. But funny as hell! The cameos are worth the watch alone.
I enjoyed it a lot! A fun lowkey comedy for sisters & messy gals… for me it struck the exact right blend of formulaic comforting heartwarming and quirky surprising humor. whoever created this part for Sandra Oh is a genius too
Consistently funny; this is a delightful and wonderfully performed comedy.
There is no logical explanation as to why I (secretly) love this movie. It makes me laugh every. single. time. It must be the perfect casting, Steve Zahn especially. This movie and "That Thing You Do" are his two funniest roles, IMO. Neil Diamond's appearance (and actual role in the movie) is the icing on the inexplicably delicious cake.
