I'm a little concerned at how hard I was laughing at the dead body
βitβs just so crazy, it might just workβ ahh movie
As pure a vision of hell as the cinema has produced.
The way that everbody in this movie is so dumb...
Canβt wait to do this with my boss
Comedy is the most fucked up genre lol
The mileage this movie gets out of one joke is incredible
Andrew McCarthyβs socks are insane in this movie
Terry Kiser is - without question - the most convincing dead man I've ever seen.
When I die, I hope my friends do a Weekend at Bernie's with my body.
was laughing so hard i was crying nobody told me it was this funny wtf
I remember getting this one on DVD almost 20 years ago for free when I begged my mom to order the "Pizza Hut Movie Deal." I watched the shit out of it then and I continue to watch the shit out of it from time to time now. Just a massive guilty pleasure that absolutely kills me. Terry Kiser delivers a drop-dead hilarious physical performance in this, what pure commitment! Andrew McCarthy and Jonathan Silverman make a fun and likeable pairing here as well with their good chemistry. This type of wild high-concept comedy could only be produced back then. Pure 80s cinematic excellence right here. Remake with Robert Downey Jr. as Bernie when?
