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!
