Weekend at Bernie's starts when two lowly clerks at an insurance agency uncover a $2 million fraud and report it to their boss, Bernie (Terry Kiser). Unfortunately for them, Bernie is the one behind the fraud, and he invites them to his island beach house for the weekend, where he intends to have them killed by his mob contacts. Unfortunately for Bernie, the mob decides to rub him out instead--and thus begin the necrotic hijinks. The clerks, Richard (Jonathan Silverman) and Larry (Andrew McCarthy), arrive and discover Bernie's body. At first they panic and start to call the police, but when a party of islanders sweeps in, Richard and Larry also discover that the local residents are so self-absorbed they don't notice that Bernie is dead. So if our heroes can just convince everyone that Bernie is still alive for they weekend, they can have a splendid time. Unfortunately, they also convince the mob hitman, who keeps trying to take Bernie out. Weekend at Bernie's was made at the height of 1980s fashion and features many amusing outfits and hairstyles--often the styles are funnier than the dialogue, and the characters are tissue-paper thin. Still, there's no denying that the movie chugs along from bit to bit and never takes itself more seriously than it should. A cheerful, disposable piece of fluff. --Bret Fetzer

very funny, laughed inspite of myself January 23, 2009
Roberta Green (Cuernavaca, Mexico)
The interesting and refreshingly novel plot, colorful characters, good scenery, and superb acting make this movie enjoyable. The costumes, scenery, photography and casting were very well done. The actors are adorable and easy on the eyes. Even the bratty kid and corpse don't make you look away. More music would have been appreciated, but the few songs used were good. Profane language detracts from this film, but it is still quality entertainment. This is a film I would classify as a comedy of the farce category with some slapstick and great humorous dialog. The chemistry between the two main characters is delightful. The love interest is sweet and amusing.

Ever since I was a kid, I've loved this movie. Richard and Larry find out that someone is stealing money from their company. It turns out to be their boss, Bernie Lomax. When they tell him, they are unaware it is him, so Bernie invites them to his house on the beach for the weekend, because he plans to have them killed. The Mob plan to kill Lomax instead. When Larry and Richard arrive, Bernie is already dead. So, the entire time, they pretend that he's still alive. If you love comedy, and dead bodies, you'll love WEEKEND AT BERNIE'S!!!
p.s. Happy Martin Luther King Day!!!
