Tracy_Terry_Moore Not half bad 'sequel' to the funny original.'Bernie' (Terry Kiser) is still being propped up so he can flop over and fall down thus creating even more trouble for our heroes 'Richard' and 'Larry' (John Silverman and Andy McCarthy). This time around the boys must use ol' Bern' to procure Bernie's hidden wealth located in a Caribbean safety deposit box while concomitantly ditching two other guys who want Bernie's body for their voodoo magic. Written and directed by Bob Klane. Klane's script sucks, but his direction is OK, provided one is not very demanding.Pretty scenery of the U.S. Virgin Islands.
gavin6942 If you saw the first film (and why would you watch the second if not the first), you know this movie is about two guys who have a dead friend named Bernie, who they like to cart around in order to attract women. Now they are also joined by two men from the Virgin Islands who turn Bernie into a zombie.The people I was watching this film with generally thought it was awful. I thought it was mildly entertaining. Of course, I was drunk and distracted by those around me (including some attractive young ladies). But unlike the guys in the movie, I couldn't impress my guests with a dead corpse.Why did I like this movie? Well, every time the Virgin Islands men played music, the corpse of Bernie would do a little dance and walk around. I found this very interesting: a zombie Bernie! I don't know if it was voodoo or Santeria (guess I missed that part), but it was pretty much the only angle you could go with a sequel, unless you wanted a rotten, smelly decomposed thing being dragged around. And I liked it! They made the witchmen lovable and humorous! I could write a better review if I hadn't been drinking or being distracted by young ladies, but the general impression I got was that this film was fun and I really liked it. I would gladly watch it again or even watch a Bernie double feature.
darkmanishere990 First of all, let me say that the first "Weeeknd At Bernie's" is a tough movie to "follow up." The premise (while by the end of the first movie it may have seemed worn out) was fresh for its time and the humor was totally there. As for the sequel, I was glad to see Richard and Larry still hanging out together. It was also nice to see that their characters didn't change much. Richard was still the brains behind the operation and Larry was still as crazy as ever. Yes the plot was kind of silly (to put it mildly) and the whole voo-doo thing was kind of lame. However, the 2 people chasing Larry and Richard added some new humor to this film that the first movie kind of lacked. Who made the movie? Well Bernie DUH! Bernie provides lots of good laughs with his silly dancing, and even though he is dead, he brought lots of life to this movie at times. Beyond that, the music in this film really helped it along. With the music, it really made you wish you could go on a vacation wherever the boys were at. To put it another way, the music REALLY helped this film. While this movie isn't the greatest comedy ever, it really does not deserve all the horrible things people say about it. Richard, Larry and Bernie make this film worth watching at least once. Now if only they would have made a soundtrack to go with the movie. And before you ask, yes the music was that good! :)
gothic_a666 This a sequel to a story starring a DEAD man that, somehow, is taken as a living person. Once we got that out of the way, facts such as rigor mortis lose all importance since this is the world of cartoon-ish comedy. This is not supposed to make sense: the movie mocks itself, it mocks, the actors, it mocks the viewers and it mocks the amazing plot around which everything works. One does not expect it to be coherent or even border-line logic: it is a story about a dead man that is possessed by voodoo powers and dances whenever music is played. Must I add more? Feel free to shoot me, but it is hilarious :P
