  An outrageous screwball comedy, Weekend at Bernie's is wildly entertaining. After finding their boss dead at his beach house Larry and Richie decide to masquerade as if he's still alive in order to avoid being suspected of his murder. As ridiculous as the premise is, somehow the actors make it work. Andrew McCarthy, Jonathan Silverman, and Catherine Mary Stewart all give great performances and deliver a lot of laughs. Though Weekend at Bernie's is pretty much a one-note joke, somehow it's able to push that joke far enough that it become funny again, and again, and again.

  Mediocre comedy film, Weekend at Bernie's is one of those films that could have been much better than what it turned out to be. I really expect a fun, entertaining film; however this is a strained comedy with barely any effective comedic material. The cast do what they can to elevate the material, however, the result is not satisfying. Those expecting a good comedy will surely be disappointed and want more out of the film. The jokes here simply don't cut it, and fall flat most of the time. This film really could have been something special. But as it stands it's a lacking comedy that just doesn't have what it takes to be truly entertaining. I was disappointed by the film, and I thought it squandered its potential due to the fact the film's a script didn't seem fully fleshed out. Weekend at Bernie's is a comedy that leaves the viewer wanting more out of the film. The script is clearly underdeveloped, and the hints of good ideas are overshadowed by the incoherent narrative and lack of good comedy elements. The film disappoints and it just doesn't do anything to really grab the viewer's attention. I think this film could have been much better than what it turned out to be, and it's a shame they couldn't pull something truly amusing. In terms of a comedy, this one just doesn't deliver, and you won't expect to laugh. In fact, I didn't laugh once throughout the film, and I just felt myself wanting much more out of the film by the time the credits rolled. If there would have been a few rewrites to the script, with more thought put into the comedic elements, then this would have been a fun, entertaining and worthwhile comedy to really enjoy. Weekend at Bernie's has an interesting idea, but never delivers on its potential, which makes this a film not worth seeing if you enjoy truly fun comedies.

  Cheesy 80's movie with a lot of VERY obvious jokes. Not the worst movie in the world, but not something to get too excited about. I cant help but feel that this movie is actually very dark when you think about it.....
