There are a few jokes that hit home quite successfully, but at 98 minutes, you'll probably be looking forward to this weekend's big finale.

Tasteless one-joke premise actually evokes laughs.

Weekend at Bernie?s doesn?t really work, partly because it expects a single joke, that nobody realizes Bernie?s dead, to carry the whole movie.

Really funny. Also really stupid. Still, it delivers the laughs.

A classic of the dumb, hit-on-the-head comedy genre!
