A different way of telling a story

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

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

Not a lot of people liked this movie, but just as many people did! It is a sequel to an improbable comedy that I would have thought impossible, but they actually pulled it off, and it is funnier that the original. Of course it is tasteless, silly, and ridiculous. It is a one-gag comedy that milks the one gag for all it is worth, like Chuck Jones did with Fearless Freep. A salute must of course be given to Terry Kiser, the real star of the film, who flops and sags and dances his way through these two preposterous movies. Playing a corpse is always an admirable skill, especially a corpse hauled all over the stage or screen. Kiser does it brilliantly. If you aren't offended by this kind of humor, go see it.

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.

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.
