Watch Ernest in the Army

Jim Varney reprises his humorous character, Ernest P. Worrell, in this film. The well meaning but sometimes bumbling, intellectually challenged Ernest decides to enlist in the military when a friend assures him the Army would trust him to drive some great vehicles. However, his decision turns out to be a much more significant career move than anyone thought possible. The Pentagon sends Ernest to represent the United States Army in a completely fictitious Middle Eastern nation called Karifistan, where a ruthless dictator threatens global peace. The plot unfolds in zany misadventures in this imaginative light-hearted story. Hayley Tyson also stars.

Ernest in the Army is a 1998 comedy with a runtime of 1 hour and 25 minutes. It has received mostly poor reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 4.4.
