What to Know

Critics Consensus

It would appear to be all but impossible to make a worthwhile sequel to a comedy about a corpse's exploits -- odds Weekend at Bernie's II never comes close to beating.

David Rooney Variety Bernie’s II stretches a thin idea even thinner, but it offers enough puerile fun and well-executed gags to lure fans of the 1989 predecessor back to theaters Mar 26, 2009 Full Review Stephen Holden New York Times Through it all, Mr. Kiser, who says not a word, exudes the foolish amiability of a partygoer who is beyond plotzed and is living in a private world of his own. Rated: 3/5 May 20, 2003 Full Review Hal Hinson Washington Post If the premise of the first film was mindless and repetitive, it's doubly so this second time around. Jan 1, 2000 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews Weekend at Bernie’s II does possess an affable, amiable vibe that proves effective at sustaining the viewer’s interest from start to finish... Rated: 2.5/4 Nov 10, 2023 Full Review Mike Ryan Uproxx I will point out that you shouldn’t watch the sequel. It’s truly terrible. You’re welcome! Sep 14, 2022 Full Review TV Guide At the film's conclusion, unfortunately, Bernie is still a fully animate zombie, leaving open the possibility of a third weekend. Rated: 2/4 May 15, 2009 Full Review Read all reviews

Erin M Really funny movie and good entertainment for an evening! Not as good as the first, but not many sequels are? Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/23/25 Full Review G M The premise is absolutely ridiculous and the beats miss harder than a steel drum during ramadan but if you turn your brain off and laugh at the one trick pony it is, you will leave wanting a little more. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/27/24 Full Review David W The first Weekend at Bernies was hilarious but this sequel is only just about passable. There are some funny moments which made me chuckle but there's none of the belly laughs this time around. Not the worst comedy ever but its a film that doesn't really need to exist other than to make a few quid and cash in on the original. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/02/24 Full Review Ace R Funny as hell! Not as funny as the first one though. But worth seeing. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/23/23 Full Review Steve D The first had one joke the 2nd keeps using it. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review thiago s Filme bacaninha, o roteiro é mais ou menos, as cenas são bacaninhas, a história é mais ou menos, o elenco é mais ou menos, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são bacaninhas, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, o filme só é engraçado por causa do bernie (o morto muito louco), mas a mesma coisa do primeiro filme, o pessoal não perceber que tem um cara morto ali dançando e não ter o cheiro ruim do morto aí é sacanagem, o filme forçou um pouco, mas por causa do bernie, eu meio que recomendo esse filme. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 10/13/25 Full Review Read all reviews
