Vashirdfel Simply A Masterpiece

MusicChat It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.

lnpsolutions This has to be THE worst sequel, or at least one of them, that I have ever seen. I wasn't expecting another Weekend at Bernie's (which was a classic, btw), but I was expecting some decency, considering the main 3 characters all came back. First off, this movie was supposed to take place instantly after Bernie's death, since they actually went to the morgue to see him. Yet, no joke, Andrew McCarthy and Jonathan Silverman looked 10 years older. I know it was only 4 years between movies, but they seemed to age A LOT between the two movies. It was almost comical how much they aged in a matter of "days". Shoot, even Sly Stallone, 10 years between Rocky movies didn't age that much.Secondly, McCarthy and Silverman seemed to forgot how to play the characters properly. The movie was basically a continuation of the first, yet they were acting completely different. Both actors did a terrible job of channeling the original energy of Larry and Richard. Lastly, the entire premise of the movie was RIDICULOUS! Bernie cursed and would start dancing when music came on? Good God, this was a tough one to make it through. 4.4 overall rating here is VERY generous for this debacle of a movie!

FlashCallahan Larry and Richard return to New York only to be blamed for Bernie's theft of two million dollars and fired.They investigate and discover that the money is somewhere in St Thomas in the Virgin Islands.Meanwhile the Cartel Bernie was stealing the money for hires a Voodoo Queen to help them find the money. She tells them to steal Bernie's body and raise it from the dead to lead them to the money.Unfortunately they mess up and Bernie can only move when he hears music.Richard, Larry and Bernie all go to St Thomas to find the money with the aid of Claudia only to be followed by Hummel, a company security officer, who believes that Larry and Richard stole the money....Talk about flogging a dead horse! The film must be one of the most pointless sequels ever and one of the most unnecessary. On paper though, it could have worked, and no mater how much you laughed at Bernie the first time around, Larry and Richard have more of a swagger, thus making the scenes with the three in less urgent.Nevertheless, Bernie dancing does raise a few laughs, and the two leads are as good as ever, but it just really doesn't have the magic and the endearing qualities of the first.RIP Steve James.

Steve Pulaski 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.

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.
