I can't understand why the score for this movie is so low, if one were to watch Weekend at Bernie's 2 you would assume they watched and enjoyed the first. The second is a very similar style to the first and provides some good laughs through out. The main thing I like about this film is the fact that unlike a lot of sequels we pick up right where the first left off, none of this skipping forward in time nonsense. The three leads are brilliant, however I felt there were slightly less one liners in this one, which was a shame as my favourite aspect of the first was basically any joke that came out of Larry's mouth. Overall I would say if you loved the first one you will at the very least enjoy this film and if you weren't so keen probably give this one a miss. A strong 7/10

Bernie hasn't changed much since we saw him last. He is still deader than a doornail in Weekend at Bernie's II. After one very solid comedy, its name is now tainted with a sequel leaching off of it. Not a bad sequel, but far from a good one. After finishing the first film, I picked up the DVD for the sequel and thought "A sequel that comes four years after the first one, about the same dead guy? How the hell will they explain that one?" Well, this time the insurance clerks Richard and Larry (McCarthy and Silverman) are using their dead boss Bernie (Kiser) to find $2 million dollars in the U.S. Virgin Islands. After being resurrected by two voodoo artists, Bernie walks towards the treasure whenever music is played. His bow-legged, slumped over style of walking when dead has spawned a dance called Move it like Bernie.Turns out the mob and a representative from the insurance company want this money too. So Rich and Larry need to get there before the money is stolen. It's the classic maximum antics, minimum laughter sort of the deal. Numerous events and antics keep happening minute after minute. But only one in five appear to be somewhat funny.I must compare Weekend at Bernie's II to Dream a Little Dream 2. Both of the sequels were made years after the first to try to cash in on the first movie success. While both sequels aren't very good, at least Dream a Little Dream's sequel makes a bit more sense for existing since it's a comedy. With this, it's about two goofballs propping up a dead man and dragging him around like he is alive. Material wears thin and reality catches up. I find it hard to believe the girl in the conga line didn't notices he stinks.The most fun I had was the end chase scene through the forest preserve, and even some scenes were sporadically funny. Seeing McCarthy and Silverman portray the characters they started was another amusing thing. Not to mention some great music to tie the film together. But ultimately, this film needs a reality check, a humor check, and a reason check. It doesn't satisfy enough to meet comedy minimums.Starring: Andrew McCarthy, Johnathan Silverman, and Terry Kiser. Directed by: Robert Klane.

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.

I do not know what is wrong with all these haters out there. This was a pretty darn good 80's movie. Jonathan Silvermand and Andrew McCarthey do their usual thing, but Bernie's part in this movie is just hilarious. I crack up at just the way he moves, not to mention all of the insane situations he gets himself into. The two African American gentlemen in this movie do a very good job as well stealing their own laughs as additions to the cast. I have to rank this movie fairly high because, though I don't own it, whenever I see it is on, I stop to watch. I'd say at least give it that and you will discover that it is worth the watch.
