Awake not Woke!

The last of the theatrical released Ernest movies. By this time you should know what to expect from these movies and you wont be disappointed. If you like the previous ones this is more of the same. Acting and humor are on par with the previous films and this is a decent entry in the series. The humor while still stupid silly fun mostly works in a light hearted turn your brain off kind of way. Some of the jokes and setups (the runaway canon sequence in particular) go on for way to long and just become really silly and unfunny. I think it's a little better than the previous one but not by much

The acting is a real mixed bag here. Some is ok but there is some really poor acting by some the characters. The Ernest scenes are amusing but there is way to much focus on the kid actors and it makes the whole movie come off as very childish. The story is very silly but some of the gags and humor work when Ernest is involved. A step in the wrong direction from the previous 2 movies.

Better Than Expected

Mostly female cast with the few males either bad or morons. Marie Curry getting credit for discovering radiation when that's not true. There are multiple credits including hers and other men, NOT her alone. That being said this sequel to the original was much better than I expected. Most of the cast returns and the acting and writing is good and in the spirit of the original. The story makes sense as a sequel and the FX stay true to the original instead of going the full bad CG route. I would say if you like the original and can get past the woke you will enjoy this as well.

Excellent Throwback Thriller/Horror Movie

Some minor DEI casting. Starts out as a standard serial killer police chase and ends up as something much more. The acting and writing are excellent. The cinematography is also incredible and the entire movie just has a creepy feel to it. It's a great throwback to 70's and 80's thrillers. They don't make movies like this anymore.
