Andrew McCarthy and Silverman are back and in desperate need of a paycheck which is the only reason they could have ever wanted to appear in a sequel that was not needed or should have been made. The first film ended, the man was dead, the story was over, but they somehow create a very flimsy premise to bring everyone's favorite corpse back from the dead yet again. Yes, he is sort of brought back from the dead in this one as he walks yet again anytime he hears music, basically a zombie that does not crave human flesh, but music. The two dudes from the last movie are back too, and this time they may as well be criminals as they basically want to steal Bernie's corpse to try and access some stuff as Bernie may have some money hidden somewhere. They may as well be bad guys with their motives in this one. There are two guys who use voodoo to reawaken Bernie and a voodoo lady who puts a curse on them. Yes, it is as bad as all that. Still, there are a couple of laughs to be found here and there, just not enough to make this a good or okay or tolerable movie to watch. Like I said before, some movies should not have sequels to them and this is most certainly one of them. The first one was rather enjoyable to me, but even then they seemed to be stretching the premise thin, here it just breaks apart as the whole zombie thing is simply ludicrous.

Not half bad 'sequel' to the funny original.'Bernie' (Terry Kiser) is still being propped up so he can flop over and fall down thus creating even more trouble for our heroes 'Richard' and 'Larry' (John Silverman and Andy McCarthy). This time around the boys must use ol' Bern' to procure Bernie's hidden wealth located in a Caribbean safety deposit box while concomitantly ditching two other guys who want Bernie's body for their voodoo magic. Written and directed by Bob Klane. Klane's script sucks, but his direction is OK, provided one is not very demanding.Pretty scenery of the U.S. Virgin Islands.

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.

If you saw the first film (and why would you watch the second if not the first), you know this movie is about two guys who have a dead friend named Bernie, who they like to cart around in order to attract women. Now they are also joined by two men from the Virgin Islands who turn Bernie into a zombie.The people I was watching this film with generally thought it was awful. I thought it was mildly entertaining. Of course, I was drunk and distracted by those around me (including some attractive young ladies). But unlike the guys in the movie, I couldn't impress my guests with a dead corpse.Why did I like this movie? Well, every time the Virgin Islands men played music, the corpse of Bernie would do a little dance and walk around. I found this very interesting: a zombie Bernie! I don't know if it was voodoo or Santeria (guess I missed that part), but it was pretty much the only angle you could go with a sequel, unless you wanted a rotten, smelly decomposed thing being dragged around. And I liked it! They made the witchmen lovable and humorous! I could write a better review if I hadn't been drinking or being distracted by young ladies, but the general impression I got was that this film was fun and I really liked it. I would gladly watch it again or even watch a Bernie double feature.
