User blog:ARTaylor/30 Years of Ernest Goes to Camp

Yesterday marked the thirtieth anniversary of the premiere of Ernest Goes to Camp. The film follows the titular Ernest P. Worrell, a kind yet accident prone man, who must try to save a summer camp while working with delinquent children. The film was a box office success and moderate hit with critics. It was the second of ten films to feature Ernest and the first to use his name in the title. The film features the talents of John Vernon as Sherman Krader who heads the mining company that wants to destroy Camp Kikakee and Scott Menville as troubled camper Crutchfield.
