Summary: one of the funniest scenes ever...
Review: I wouldn't say that this movie is great, but it does contain one scene in particular that had me in tears. This one minute (or less) scene makes the movie worth owning. It comes when our 2 main characters panic because they think they are about to miss the fairy out to the island where Bernie lives...

Summary: Have fun without thinking
Review: Terry Kiser is a blast to watch as "deadbeat" boss Bernie, whose former employees -- Jonathan Silverman and Andrew McCarthy -- find themselves dragging him with them for an entire weekend. Don Galfa also is a treat as the hitman who makes the unusual weekend possible.The biggest problem here is that, in order to truly enjoy the movie, you have to buy into the premise that virtually everybody on the island is completely braindead: McCarthy, who has fun beating the dead man in cards; Silverman, who can't get past constantly lying to his love interest; Bernie's mistress, who still thinks he's alive AFTER a night of passion; and an island full of people, who somehow miss the odor of a rotting corpse in their midst. Yes, this is a fun movie to watch. Just don't engage your brain or you'll miss out on the party.

Summary: Dark Comedy, Light Fun
Review: The cast is perfect and the sets, music, and all that went into this movie seem to meld to make a very funny movie. Andrew McCarthy as Larry Wilson and Jonathan Silverman as Richard Parker are a good match for co-workers at an insurance company. Larry the brown nosing party man and Richard the hard working nerd. When Richard discovers a two million dollar mistake in claims their boss Bernie invites them over for the weekend to discuss it. What happens after that is sick, demented, and funny. Any fan of "8 Heads in a Duffel Bag" and "The Whole Nine Yards" should enjoy it. This is one of those rare movies were seeing a dead person being lugged around, beat up, dropped, bareface ski, washed around in the tide, shot, strangled, and more is just plain outrageously funny.

Summary: Funny, but not to be taken seriously
Review: The characters are thin, the plot is simple, but the movie works if you understand that it wasn't meant to be on par with "Casablanca". I laughed more than once watching the two bumbling protagonists avoid death by trying to convince everyone that Bernie was still alive (with often unexpected results). It was funnier to watch the frustrated Mafia hit man repeatedly try to kill the already dead Bernie. Some of my friends found this movie offensive because of the supposed disrespect for the dead all throughout it, and after a while it does get a little old. This is, after all, a one-joke movie. However, others, like myself, laughed because it was so obvious that it wasn't to be taken seriously one single bit. And that's the key with this movie. If you're in the mood to laugh at something goofy, stay up late with a group of friends and enjoy it.

Summary: One of the dumbest movies . . . and I loved it!
Review: This movie consists of an outrageously ludicrous story line--two buddies pretend a dead guy is alive so at first they can have a good time, then afterwards in a backfired way to save their behinds--however, the corny, hilarious lines, the breezy pacing, the easygoing acting style of the performers as well as their apparent chemistry together, and most important of all, the movie's not taking itself seriously, make this great escapist fare. This mindless gem contained several scenes I found to be absolutely hilarious: Jonathan (Silverman) unsuccessfully pretending to Gwen (Stewart) that his father is his butler; Jonathan and Richard's (McCarthy) discovery of a note alleging them to be lovers and the latter's desire for a sex-change operation!; and the guys' encounter with what has got to be the brat from hell. If you even have one funny bone in your body this movie is guaranteed to leave you with a smile on your face!
