just watch it!

Good concept, poorly executed.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Weekend At Bernies (Part 1) has always been one of my all time favorite dreadful movies.. i class it as one of those films that are so tacky, they are kind of great...... Which is more than i can say for this sequel!I just don't get the point of it. There is nothing new or different about this movie.. they achieved nothing by making a second film..All i can think is, They thought a lot of money was to be made by making this... I wonder if it was worth it?I guess if you'd never seen the original, this film would be OKAY.. In a bad way!... but as a follow up to the original.. it just kinda sucks.

Oh man, a perfect example of when 'suspension of disbelief' goes too far! Whats more stupid and unbelievable then a dead guy being mistaken for being alive by everyone he come in contact with? Making a sequel with all the same people, including the same dead guy. Why see this? Well if your bored on a Saturday afternoon and lack the will to move and this comes on TV and the remote is all the way over on the other side of the room and your too lazy to actually get off the couch to go get it to change the channel, then maybe, I suppose that could be a reason for watching this movie. Other than that, short of someone threatening your life, it is not worth it to watch Weekend at Bernie's II.

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! :)

Larry and Richard are pretty pleased with themselves for supposedly uncovering the fact that Bernie Lomax was stealing from the company. However, $2million is still missing and the company's internal investigator, Arthur Hummel believe that Larry and Richard know just where it is. Meanwhile the cartel also want their money and decide to go to extremes to get it back – employing a voodoo queen to raise Bernie from the dead.I know why I decided to watch this film but I am struggling to come up with a reason to review it. Is anything I know about the film now different from what I expected? Is it fair for me to criticise it for faults that are obvious from the opening credits onwards? What right to an opinion do I have considering I'm the sort of person who knowingly sits down to watch Weekend at Bernie's II? Regardless though, I should put down some thoughts since this is one of those films that has no reason to exist and will (hopefully) just slip away with a decade or two. The plot is one big massive shoehorn to get Bernie's corpse back up and around. I say shoehorn because not only does it involve voodoo but also something about Bernie becoming animated when music plays – setting up all manner of "hilarious" scenarios. Of course this is where it all falls to pieces because it simply isn't funny in the slightest and retreads all the ground it covered in the first film (and even then it was basic).The cast don't really help, especially the tiresome mugging of Silverman and McCarthy, two actors for whom it speaks volume that these films pretty much represent the high point of their careers. Silverman is bland and dull while McCarthy thinks that laughs will just flow like wine if he just keeps shrieking, pulling faces and wearing garish costumes. Kiser has a thankless role and I spent lots of the film wondering if he cries when he tries to sleep. Beyer is pretty but also pretty vacant but at least Wright and James are amusing at times. Bostwick can be funny but here he isn't, mainly because the film has nothing of value for him to do. The only other person of note is Dourdan, who probably owes very little of his CSI success to his work in this film.Overall an unfunny, stupid and pointless film that is everything you know it's going to be. There isn't anything of value here at all and only very undemanding viewers who are in silly moods, juvenile AND drunk will enjoy it.
