80's Movie Weekend



Once upon a more innocent time, Andrew McCarthy and Jonathan Silverman struck gold with a comedy involving lugging around a corpse for a whole weekend at this corpse's bodacious beach house... who didn't love the hi-jinxs that ensued that weekend!? I still find this movie that gets a lot of its kicks from the pratfalls of a dead guy... here is "Weekend At Bernie's"...

the trailer...



here's the classic boat scene where Bernie falls overboard and gets dragged around...
