ReportSynopsis
Bumbling Ernest P. Worrell is assigned to jury duty, where a crooked lawyer notices a resemblance with crime boss Mr. Nash, and arranges a switch. Nash assumes Ernest's job as a bank employee, while Ernest undergoes Nash's sentence to the electric chair. But instead of killing him, the electrocution gives Ernest superhuman powers, enabling him to escape from jail and foil Nash's attempt to rob the bank.

No hanging, but the intro contains a noose which could be upsetting.

I usually don't experience misophonia but the courtroom scene when Ernest starts chewing the paper made me cringe.

Don't know where else to put this as there isn't an "electrocution" question as of writing, but electrocution is a common gag throughout the movie.

Kinda? There's a scene where Ernest goes through his bathing routine but he's fully clothed the whole time and it's not a typical "shower."
