Weekend at Bernie's [Blu-ray] [1989]

Weekend at Bernies has an absurd premise but it is that premise that makes this movie fun to watch. An important person has died and his two employees find him and spend the weekend acting like he is alive by putting sunglasses and more over the dead body and parading him all over the place. It is a fun "stupid" movie to watch and I got it for only a few dollars at Best Buy so I had to pick it up.

This is an all time classic must own. This laugh your butt off, 80's comedy, will remind you of the days when no one cared about who was offended and when comedy was original and raw. It's a must watch and a must own iconic classic.

Such a fun movie! If you like the older movies pick this one up! It’s worth the watch

A goofy slapstick comedy from the late 1980's but it has lots of laughs

Weekend at Bernie's is an 80's classic. Two goofballs, Larry and Richard are stuck in dead end jobs. Trying to get ahead in the company the two spend extra hours trying to impress their boss. When Richard and Larry stumble on an insurance scam they bring it to their boss's attention, Bernie Lomax. Bernie invites them out to his beach house in Long Island with plans to kill them as they discovered his scheme to embezzle millions. He informs his partners of the two's discovery and plots a plan to dispose of Richard and Larry. His partners have other ideas as they believe Bernie has become sloppy in his work and plan to kill him instead. When Richard and Larry find Bernie dead when they arrive and plans to kill them, they fear their lives are in danger and drag Bernie's corpse all over to protect themselves as they try to escape the Island. The hijinks begins as the two clumsily try to escape while being pursued by many people they believe that are trying to kill them. Weekend at Bernie's is a great slapstick comedy that the entire family can enjoy. Instant classic.

As a kid (I was 10 when this came out), I couldn't convince my parents to let me see this in theaters. So naturally I REALLY wanted to see it. When it hit TV a few years later, I found it not quite what I'd built up in my mind. Despite that, I've managed to watch it several times since & it seems to get better every time. Andrew McCarthy in the 80s is pretty much perfect. Perfectly weird & perfectly awkward. So if you have him run around puppeteering a dead body for 90min while hiding from the mob, it's bound to be fun! Another cheap classic on Blu-ray!

Two friends, who happen to work as corporate peons in the same office, are rewarded/duped by their boss with a weekend at his beachhouse. Upon arrival they find the boss dead, but they decide to prop him up and pretend that he's still among the living. At the same time a very confused hitman continues to try to kill an already dead man. If you're a child of the 80's there's no doubt that you remember the film, whether fondly or not. If you're among the former then this Blu-ray is for you. The jump to high definition works perfectly for this classic comedy, making it look almost new if you look past the 80's fashion and big hair.

Glad to be having added this to my Blu-ray collection.
