WEEKEND AT BERNIE'S

 

Weekend At Bernie's is a 1989 "sleeper" hit about two morons whose boss dies on them unexpectedly and they try to make everyone believe that he's still alive for an entire weekend. OK, you have to have a MAJOR suspension of disbelief to be able to, uh-hum, enjoy this incredibly asinine flick. I mean, Citizen Kane it most definitely AIN'T! But what's REALLY asinine was that they came out with a sequel--let me repeat--A SEQUEL a few years later WITH THE SAME DAMN CHARACTERS!!!! Of course, the "dead" character Bernie looks EXACTLY the same as he did in the first one. I mean, this takes suspension of disbelief to a whole new flippin' level! I mean, to make said incredibly asinine flick more entertaining, they could've had Bernie's limbs fall off and the two said morons could've found hilarious ways to keep his limbs attached--like duck tape, perhaps?--and/or have somebody remark about the smell and maybe tell "dead" Bernie that he needed to use more deodorant or something like that, you know? Oh well, I hear these flicks are really popular with the necrophiliac crowd! (Ba-da-boom!)
