Weekend at Bernie's (1989)

The movie starts off with a peppy Jamaican tune to a hot summer, with 2 over-worked insurance employees, Richard & Larry skiving off to the beach (on a NY rooftop with the tar melting off). & Bernie, their boss, calls them over to his beach-house in Hampton Island over the weekend with the intent to knock them off. Cath Stewert is Gwen, the hot summer intern at the office. I liked the dialogues; & there wasn't a dull moment.

Favourite scenes include: 'I don't even have an aunt'; 'you have a butler!?'; I loved Bernie's beach-house; the suicide note; the boat scenes; possibility open for a sequel

Alternate Ending: I liked the ending... but didn't like the part that the police knew Bernie was dead; that would mess up the sequel.

First Viewed: Alone at Harborne in Parramatta.

Rating-2.5*
