Weekend at Bernie's II

1993 · 97 min

Silly, cartoonish slapstick that coasts on a corpse gag, best enjoyed as a mindless, giggly background watch.

Tagline
You don't have to stop partying just because you've stopped breathing.
Overview
Everybody's favorite stiff is back! Working fools Larry Wilson and Richard Parker have uncovered a dirty, little secret: Their former boss, Bernie Lomax, embezzled $2 million and placed it in a safe deposit box in the Caribbean. Now, the boys are ready to go after the loot, but they can't do it alone -- they need poor Bernie's help. Can the buddies give their ex-boss new life?
