Buy on. Critic Reviews. Duane Byrge. Mainly Bernie's is good old, knock-down slapstick with just the right dose of cruelty thrown in. Read full review. Peter Travers. All cast members seem willing to make total fools of themselves for our delectation. A fine but futile gesture. The bad news is that even with such yeoman efforts, it's still impossible to drag one tired joke around for nearly two hours. Like Bernie, the movie ends up dead on its feet. Hal Hinson. Bernie Lomax would be the perfect host, except for one small thing.
He's dead. Did you know Edit. Trivia Terry Kiser 's stunt double suffered a few broken ribs during filming, most in the scene in which Bernie is dragged around the surface of the ocean, bumping into metal floating obstacles. Goofs When the 'boys' are transferring Bernie from the golf cart to the boat, you can see Bernie's hands clenching and opening.
Quotes Mugger : Give me all your money and your wallets. Overdubs from the original actors were used to make the movie more "family friendly". User reviews Review. Top review. Using the word "classic" for this movie may be stretching things a little, but the fact that everybody I know has seen this movie -- and enjoyed it to some extent, is saying something.
The concept is ridiculous. Bernie winds up getting killed before they get there. The rest of the movie involves the hijinks that occur when Richard and Larry decide to pretend Bernie is still alive so they can enjoy their weekend in paradise.
Much of the gags include Bernie's lifeless body being dragged about and posed. What's surprising is that much of the gags actually work. It's a one-joke movie that manages to sustain through the one and a half hours. Pay special attention to the boat scene -- on first viewing my sisters and I were roaring with laughter. Avoid the sequel "Weekend at Bernie's II" like the plague. Rather than inane and funny, the movie is just inane. Details Edit. Release date July 5, United States.
