Weekend at Bernie's reviews

Weekend at Bernie's holds a 6.4/10 average from 1,177 TMDB ratings.

My go-to when I just want to sit back and relax, especially with the hot weather where I am (plus no A/C). Still a whole lot of fun and the dynamic between Jonathan Silverman and Andrew McCarthy was entertaining (and for playing a dead guy, kudos to Terry Kiser, RIP). Shame this is a Fox (Disney) title as this one deserves a special edition from Shout Factory... **3.75/5**

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.
