Weekend at Bernie’s (1989) – IMDb

Greetings Bernie fans…

Yep. I love this film…and, I love the sequel, too. I guess it helps that I am a big fan of both Andrew McCarthy and Jonathan Silverman…their chemistry throughout the two films is priceless, a great comedy duo. Terry Kiser couldn’t be better as Bernie, given a role in which he really doesn’t have to do anything…nonetheless, he gives us a hilarious performance. And, you also gotta love Catherine Mary Stewart…she’s just great, and Don Calfa is also brilliant. The writer, Robert Klane (he co-wrote “NATIONAL LAMPOON’S EUROPEAN VACATION, previously) creates a wonderful story and atmosphere…and, he eventually helmed the direction on this film’s sequel in 1993. Don’t listen to that other airhead who reviewed this, with his “set your alarm clock” crap…what the hell does he know, anyway? Yes, this film is “stupid-comedy”…and, that’s why the film works. A great summer movie. Recommended dosage: Repetitious viewings, ad nauseum.

Take care!
