Siskel & Ebert Classics - 10/18/91 - Other People's Money, Ernest Scared Stupid 

Yeah, the way they gave the movie a hard time brings back memories of disagreeing with these two.

Same!! My brother and I still use the MALK joke 😂

They were a bit hard on poor old Jim. Imho

@@clutchkman yeah they never give b tier budget films a chance the 2 were annoying and full of themselves

I just watched it on HBOMAX for the first time. I liked it. Danny DeVito is great in it. What surprised me was the drama toward the end. Gregory Peck is at the end of his rope and DeVito doesn’t back down. That was a bold move for a Hollywood movie to conclude. So I don’t know what they’re talking about when they call the ending soft. I guess because it shows hope for a relationship between DeVito and Penelope Ann Miller.

Yeah one of these days I’d like to see the original intended ending, but was satisfied with the one provided. Didn’t seem out of place.

@@wowview2 well maybe it’s the final scene that they are talking about because he does make a deal with Penelope Ann Miller where he does sell the shares back to Gregory Peck but he gained something else in return.

They were saying it was completely different than the theatrical release.

Yup:)

That should tell you how uninterested they were in Ernest P. Worrell to begin with.

They just dont like comedy that's sad perhaps varney will teach Ebert comedy in heaven

Not at all for a budget film it was successful no wonder the voice of trantor got a job at lucasarts for va works for the 3 prequels and the series of ernest films continued to be successful and still have major fanbase to this day they do a ernest camp. At camp kickakee every yr where hundreds of fans go to in Tennessee end of the day ernest scared stupid was bad badass

They definitely form a bond as the film progresses.
