After their adventure at Bernie's weekend house (events of "Weekend At Bernie's") accountants/programmers oafish Larry and up-tight Richard return to New York only to be blamed by the insurance company they all worked for Bernie's theft of two million dollars and fired. Larry and Richard investigate and discover that the money is somewhere in St Thomas in the Virgin Islands. Meanwhile the Cartel Bernie was stealing the money for hires a Voodoo Queen to help them find the money. She tells Henry and Charles to steal Bernie's body and raise it from the dead to lead them to the money. Unfortunately Henry and Charles goofed and Bernie can only move when he hears music. Richard, Larry and Bernie all go to St Thomas to find the money with the aid of Claudia only to be followed by Hummel, a company security officer, who believes that Larry and Richard stole the money as well as Henry and Charles. Who will get to the money first?...

User Reviews

The Best Film in the World ... ever!!

I thought weekend at bernies was funny until I saw the sequel. How any one can come up with the idea of a film about a dead guy is one thing but to have a sequel takes real talent.

The first one made me laugh the second one even more so. I especially loved the scene where Bernie manages to remove two sunbathers bikini's.

For a dead guy bernie proved to have more life in him than most of the characters.

I thoroughly recommend this movie if you don't take life (or death) too seriously.

I am also an avid Chevy Chase fan which gives you an idea of what kind of person I am.

Chevy truly is king of comedy!
