This has to be THE worst sequel, or at least one of them, that I have ever seen. I wasn't expecting another Weekend at Bernie's (which was a classic, btw), but I was expecting some decency, considering the main 3 characters all came back.
First off, this movie was supposed to take place instantly after Bernie's death, since they actually went to the morgue to see him. Yet, no joke, Andrew McCarthy and Jonathan Silverman looked 10 years older. I know it was only 4 years between movies, but they seemed to age A LOT between the two movies. It was almost comical how much they aged in a matter of "days". Shoot, even Sly Stallone, 10 years between Rocky movies didn't age that much.
Secondly, McCarthy and Silverman seemed to forgot how to play the characters properly. The movie was basically a continuation of the first, yet they were acting completely different. Both actors did a terrible job of channeling the original energy of Larry and Richard.
Lastly, the entire premise of the movie was RIDICULOUS! Bernie cursed and would start dancing when music came on? Good God, this was a tough one to make it through. 4.4 overall rating here is VERY generous for this debacle of a movie!
