TheMovieSearch R @TheMovieSearch Dec 6 "Weekend at Bernie’s" is a hilariously inventive comedy that keeps viewers laughing from start to finish. The film revolves around two friends who discover their boss, Bernie, is dead, yet they must pretend he’s alive to avoid trouble. The director expertly balances absurd humor with clever timing, allowing every character, especially Bernie, to shine in this unusual setup. Amazingly, even as a corpse, Bernie becomes central to the comedy, and the actors’ physical performances make the premise believable and endlessly funny. The casting is spot-on, with the leads delivering energy, charm, and impeccable comedic timing, keeping the audience fully invested. The screenplay is smartly written, creating a playful yet engaging story that doesn’t feel overwhelming, blending dark humor with classic slapstick. With its unique premise, energetic performances, and perfect comedic pacing, "Weekend at Bernie’s" is a timeless, rewatchable comedy that continues to entertain audiences with its charm.

See more David D Oct 10 It’s got everything but it’s like too little butter smeared over to much bread. Unsure what to do next, as one character says, ‘what are you doing?.’…answer…’I don’t know’. See more RJThePro T @RJThePro Jul 13 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.
