Good concept, poorly executed.

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

I can't understand why the score for this movie is so low, if one were to watch Weekend at Bernie's 2 you would assume they watched and enjoyed the first. The second is a very similar style to the first and provides some good laughs through out. The main thing I like about this film is the fact that unlike a lot of sequels we pick up right where the first left off, none of this skipping forward in time nonsense. The three leads are brilliant, however I felt there were slightly less one liners in this one, which was a shame as my favourite aspect of the first was basically any joke that came out of Larry's mouth. Overall I would say if you loved the first one you will at the very least enjoy this film and if you weren't so keen probably give this one a miss. A strong 7/10

It's right after the first movie, and Bernie (Terry Kiser) is now in the morgue. Larry (Andrew McCarthy) and Richard (Jonathan Silverman) is suspected of colluding with Bernie by the company's investigator Arthur Hummel (Barry Bostwick), and are fired. Meanwhile a couple of bad guys try to use Voodoo to get the $2million. They reanimate Bernie but only when rhythmic music is playing. Then they lose Bernie on the subway, and he's returned back to the morgue. At the same time, Larry and Richard discover where Bernie hid the money. Only Bernie needs to get it from the bank in person. That when they decide to get Bernie from the morgue....The first one was a one joke comedy, and it was only passably funny. This one is even less than that. The only funny thing is the sight of Terry Kiser bopping around at the sound of the music. That last about 2 seconds. Then it gets stupider and stupider. This was never a smart franchise. I'm not talking about the characters, but rather the comedy. It's a one joke concept without much to back it up. But the stupidity in this movie really piles up. For example, it seems much more simpler to just try to pretend to be Bernie instead of dragging his dead body to the bank. It never quite improves.

Weekend At Bernies (Part 1) has always been one of my all time favorite dreadful movies.. i class it as one of those films that are so tacky, they are kind of great...... Which is more than i can say for this sequel!I just don't get the point of it. There is nothing new or different about this movie.. they achieved nothing by making a second film..All i can think is, They thought a lot of money was to be made by making this... I wonder if it was worth it?I guess if you'd never seen the original, this film would be OKAY.. In a bad way!... but as a follow up to the original.. it just kinda sucks.

Not half bad 'sequel' to the funny original.'Bernie' (Terry Kiser) is still being propped up so he can flop over and fall down thus creating even more trouble for our heroes 'Richard' and 'Larry' (John Silverman and Andy McCarthy). This time around the boys must use ol' Bern' to procure Bernie's hidden wealth located in a Caribbean safety deposit box while concomitantly ditching two other guys who want Bernie's body for their voodoo magic. Written and directed by Bob Klane. Klane's script sucks, but his direction is OK, provided one is not very demanding.Pretty scenery of the U.S. Virgin Islands.
