Like Lucio Fulci directed Face-Off. Like some hybrid of Riki-Oh and Pee-Wee’s Playhouse. Like a children’s film from another dimension. What if Jim Carrey channeled both Bugs Bunny and Anton Chigur in that universe? What if that dimension had the white Stephen Chow? There’s no need to wonder any longer. You can find the answers in Ernest Goes to Jail.
