What they share

Both films are directed by John Cherry, and they both carry the cozy, playful mood tags, and they sit in Comedy / Family territory. If that's the register that drew you to Ernest Rides Again, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Ernest Goes to Africa is

Here's a film that probably sounded better on paper. Ernest unwittingly turns stolen diamonds into a yo-yo, which he gifts to a woman who wants a more adventurous paramour. When villains abduct her, Ernest's trip to Africa becomes inevitable. The film delivers exactly what one expects.
