I don't know why or how this inspired so many of The Rolling Stones' recent tours.

2020 Re-Watch: My how my sense of humour has changed over the years. When I was a kid, I thought this was hilarious, but watching it again some 30 years later, I didn't even laugh once. And holy shit, 90% of the movie is ADR. I guess there was too much seagull noise in the original audio. With that being said, if my friends DON"T "Weekend At Bernie's" my corpse when I die, something has gone horribly wrong with my last will and testament.

Weekend at Bernie's has a pretty amusing premise, with a plot that is as much action-crime-drama as it is dark-comedy. The film is both dated and unrealistic, and sadly not very good. It feels over-acted and the characters are somewhat unlikable. There are funny moments and the film nails its final scene, but ultimately its legacy is just a cultural reference (and an unenforceable will provision) not a comedy classic.

This movie is hilarious. They are walking around with a dead guy and he seems so life like.

Rewatching it, the movie still holds up. It was made with the concept of "wouldn't it be funny if two guys hauled around a corpse everyone thought was alive?" with a basic story cobbled together around that. Nevertheless, thanks to some outstanding sight gags and individual scenes (everything to do with Bernie in the boat), the movie is hilarious at its best. And thanks to a surprisingly solid performance by Jonathan Silverman, Bernie after death is only the SECOND BEST actor in the movie.

The worst part of this movie isn't the "puppeting a dead body" thing - that part manages a few really funny moments, though also a lot of dreadful ones. The worst part is that the narrative genuinely seems to think that being an executive for an insurance company is a cool, stylish life goal for fun people, and that having that as the protagonists' Big Dream makes them sympathetic and interesting? (The writing sure as hell doesn't do anything else to make them so.)
