RJThePro T Weekend at Bernie’s is definitely a comedy. The hilarious situation the boys find themselves in is a genius plot for a Hollywood film. There are certainly some laugh out loud moments. The acting wasn’t bad, and there weren’t any redundant characters or plots. The movie does take a little while until it starts to become great, but the rest of the film is good enough to keep people entertained. The movie also didn’t age horribly, which is impressive for a film made in the 1980s. I would certainly recommend comedy enthusiasts to watch this.

Weekend at Bernie's is a 1989 American black comedy film directed by Ted Kotcheff 🍿 It’s good 🙂 Worth a watch. I’d recommend it if you like this genre 👍🏼 Lot so of funny moments with slapstick old-style humour… D Two young insurance corporation employees try to pretend that their murdered employer is alive by puppeteering his dead body, leading a hitman to attempt to track him down to finish him off.

Gorgeous scenery and a fun soundtrack. I watch this movie every summer. A fun beach movie to watch during the summertime. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/10/25 Full Review Kevin P It’s funny, I’ve basically seen this movie several times throughout my childhood through the countless parodies that nearly every sitcom and children’s show has done at least once in one of their filler episodes. But to finally see the original that started it all was crazy to watch. The movie itself holds up surprisingly well and is really funny despite it’s one-joke gimmick thanks to the excellent chorography and comedic timing with the physical comedy and improvisational acting from the main leads (both of whom share great chemistry). Some good subversions too like Bernie’s initial plan to whack off the two leads due to his own embezzlement, his hitman turning on him out of convenience, and their utter shock when he’s allegedly still alive. Good commentary on oblivious yuppie culture as well. Despite the crude subject matter, the movie feels oddly comforting thanks to its sunny beachside setting and overall laid-back tone. It might be too repetitive or familiar to some, but personally I really dug the great physical comedy and charismatic leads, and I’d certainly say it’s worth the hype from the all the endless parodies.
