Editorial Reviews

That rubber-faced funny man Ernest P. Worrell, the All-American Knuckle Head, finally shows us who put the "dip" in diploma. Ernest, as the Chippewa Falls school custodian, must complete his high school education, or he's out of a job. His only friends are the lowly marching band members and two mad science teachers who give Ernest a little I.Q. booster from the still-experimental "Sub-Atomic Brain Accelerator." All looks swell for our hero until the villainous football team sabotages the "Brain Accelerator." The action never stops when this wacky bumpkin uses his pumpkin.

This is the funniest movie I have ever seen. As a high school math teacher and high school band musician, I was in stitches from beginning to end.

At last! Ernest P. Worrell goes back to school and determines to get his High School diploma. He has a few teenage friends who try their best to help him out. I never thought that Ernest could be so smart, especially since he relied on the brain accelerator. Of course, the original Ernest P. Worrell is just as great. He actually passes the big test, and he earns his diploma. "Once again, the right tool for the right job. Know what I mean?"

High school should be this funny!! This keeps you laughing from start to finish! Only Jim Varney could put this much humor into school days..His "brain freeze" intellectual persona character only demonstrates the extreme versatility of his humorous acting capabilites! A truly funny movie for "kids" of any age.
