Pretty Good
It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
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
This sequel was more goofy-humor oriented than the original that had tongue in cheek humor mixed with black comedy.In this sequel you can't forget about quality because you will get insanity instead. There is no need to tell that the plot is a total joke that deals reviving Bernie with voodoo. Could that work?! Well, it does but the results are not very favorable. We get silly situations mixed with the main character's stupidity surrounded by a goofy vibe.This sequel should only be recommended for HUGE fans of the original. If not, stay away from it because it's not even half as funny as the original.At least, Jonathan Silverman, Andrew McCarthy and Terry Kiser are back. They're the best thing from this almost-mess.If nostalgia is a common denominator in your film experience, then you should watch it; otherwise, it should be kept as an obscure sequel.
Oh man, a perfect example of when 'suspension of disbelief' goes too far! Whats more stupid and unbelievable then a dead guy being mistaken for being alive by everyone he come in contact with? Making a sequel with all the same people, including the same dead guy. Why see this? Well if your bored on a Saturday afternoon and lack the will to move and this comes on TV and the remote is all the way over on the other side of the room and your too lazy to actually get off the couch to go get it to change the channel, then maybe, I suppose that could be a reason for watching this movie. Other than that, short of someone threatening your life, it is not worth it to watch Weekend at Bernie's II.
I do not know what is wrong with all these haters out there. This was a pretty darn good 80's movie. Jonathan Silvermand and Andrew McCarthey do their usual thing, but Bernie's part in this movie is just hilarious. I crack up at just the way he moves, not to mention all of the insane situations he gets himself into. The two African American gentlemen in this movie do a very good job as well stealing their own laughs as additions to the cast. I have to rank this movie fairly high because, though I don't own it, whenever I see it is on, I stop to watch. I'd say at least give it that and you will discover that it is worth the watch.
