Format:VHS Tape
Richard (Jonathan Silverman) and Larry (Andrew McCarthy) are two working stiffs trying to get ahead in corporate world. While working overtime, they find evidence that someone has been defrauding the company, and they take their evidence to their boss Bernie Lomax (Terry Kaiser). Bernie is so impressed with them that he invites them to his weekend house on the coast. Yep, things are looking up for our heroes...or are they? It turns out that Bernie is the thief, and he arranges to have them killed! When the boys arrive at Bernie's they find him dead, and soon find out about his plans for them. Fortunately, none of Bernie's party-hardy friends seem to realize that he is dead. If the boys can keep up the pretext that Bernie is alive, they just might survive. Now, how do you keep anyone from finding out that your boss is actually dead? [Color, released in 1989, with a running time of 1:37.]
OK, no matter who writes the description, this movie is going to sound implausible to the point of silliness. Well...yeah, this is not a movie to be taken seriously. What it is is a hilarious farce, with Terry Kaiser doing a surprisingly funny imitation of a dead guy! The movie is generally clean with one off camera sex scene and one scene with a practically naked woman (Tawny - Elois DeJoria, Playboy Miss April 1988). But, that said, it's a very funny movie that you can watch with your whole family. We love this movie and highly recommend it to you!

I saw this as a child and thought it was really funny. Fast forward 15 years and I decided to buy it for old time's sake, just to see if it was actually any good... and it was even funnier than I'd remembered! Besides the obvious massive joke (ie: Bernie, the partying corpse), there were some subtle little jokes that I'd never have noticed as a 10 year old which made me chuckle. I can't believe it's rated 15, though I suppose violence, murder and hints at necrophilia will tend to push a rating up!

If you like Trading Places and Brewster's Millions, then you will love this film. Ordered using amazon and had it delivered from the Netherlands within a week. Very happy customer :D

Brilliantly funny film
I would recommend this film to anyone. Very funny and the dead pan face of Bernie is amazing, I don't know how he manages to keep a straight face.

A very fine comedy, and Bernie is hilarious
I recommend this product to all persons, young or old, because the actor who plays Bernie is sublime. He acts like a really dead corps and his expression is very funny.
