synopsis
Two enterprising young men uncover an elaborate embezzlement scheme at their company and are rewarded with a weekend at the boss' impressive beach house. But things get complicated when they arrive to find him murdered. They decide to have a good time anyway and include their boss in all the activities.
Ninety-nine times out of a hundred the "live action cartoon" comedy doesn't work. Now, "Weekend At Bernie's" is not that one hundredth film, it's more like 99 1/2. The film's premise is jokes about a dead body, which makes for a few good gags, but not that many.
