feel the Bern

This absurd comedy elicits no shortage of laughs. "Weekend at Bernie's" is one of those movies where a mishap snowballs. I laughed to think of how the main characters were feeling as they had to make it look as if their dead boss was alive. The whole thing is low humor, but anyone with a sense of humor is bound to enjoy it. At the very least, guys are bound to enjoy seeing so many women in bikinis (Gwen is one of the ultimate hotties).

Ted Kotcheff also directed "The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz", "North Dallas Forty", "First Blood" and the original "Fun with Dick and Jane". Co-star Don Calfa also co-starred in "Foul Play" and "Return of the Living Dead".

Ruined by marketing idiots

This film about two lovable idiots who go to spend the weekend with Bernie. Sadly, Bernie is dead when they arrive. But, not wanting to pass up a great weekend in a wonderful beach-front house, they decide to pretend that Bernie is still alive. Instead of telling the guests that Bernie is asleep or indisposed, however, they decide to actually bring this corpse everywhere with them--for the entire weekend.

This is a rare film because I have never seen another film with this exact problem. It's not just the film itself that I have a problem with but the marketing idiots that sold this movie. You see, when I went to see a different movie, they showed a preview for WEEKEND AT BERNIE'S and most of the people in the theater laughed and loved the trailer. It was jam-packed with funny bits--many, many funny bits. In fact, and here's the big problem, when I actually saw WEEKEND AT BERNIE'S, I found that there were no surprises----none! That's because almost every single gag from the film was in the preview! Part of it is because the movie was a one-joke film and it needed more, but the biggest part was the selection of clips in the preview.
