NOTES Apparently this film belongs to a series of films about Ernest

made by Jim Varney.

He plays a character who has been described as "a dim-

bulb". This does sound somewhat like the parts Adam

Sandler plays which make fun of people who might have

learning difficulties.

And in this film science teachers make him very smart which

of course is a plot which has been used before (see Charly

(1968)

The only review I've seen says the film is unbelievably awful.

Having glanced at another of Varney's films I have to agree.

His character is like that of Sandler, Jerry Lewis, Peewee

Herman, Norman Wisdom. Someone others would make fun

of.
