I feel achy and I filled breaky. And I have to stop here unless I get sued by Billy Ray Cyrus.
Did you know that he didn't write that song. It was some other guy named Don Von Tress.
So all this time I thought ''There's that one song that Billy has'' But really it's not his.
It's like how half the crooner's take credit for all those famous songs they sung but in reality it was probably written by some french guy 30 years before them or by Andy Williams.
Anyways here's 'Weekend at Bernie's'. A film that I've owned for probably 15 years but can never be bothered to watch.
Truth be is it just never appealed to me. It looks like one of those weird campy comedies done in the style of National Lampoon. I just don't have an interest in those anymore.
But here's the weird part, I got this movie with an order a pizza. For some reason Pizza Hut at one point was giving out movies with there take away orders.
I guess nobody wanted the film cuz somehow I ended up with it.
My God that opinion didn't change for the first half of the movie.
I didn't like the setup. I didn't like our main characters who where trying to get a leg up in their company by showing a technical error of a lost $2000000 within their insurance company.
I didn't much care for Terry Kiser character; Who was just this annoying Reagan Era businessman and the mobsters which did pique my curiosity pretty much disappear after the first third of the film. All we get is this one guy who's supposed to be the Killer and he's proven to be an incredibly incompetent lark.
Which is a little ironic as he does succeed at his job. He's just so inept and stupid that he doesn't realise it so he keeps thinking that he has to read kill the guy that he's already killed originally.
The film doesn't feel like it has a lot of Direction.
It's just our two main leads trying to get to this house where they think they're going to be having a meeting / party with their boss then having these weird interactions with this one girl kind of likes one of the leads, but is also annoyed by him because he's a compulsive liar.
Then everything gets wacky and zany and that 'situational comedy' starts to rear its ugly head. The whole ''thing's artificially exaggerated when it doesn't have to be.'' And I really didn't like that at first.
Although as the film went on I became less and less bothered by it.
I just decided to stop caring about the characters and enjoy their weird Antics.
And if you do that you will find Weekends at Bernie's to be a mainly entertaining romp.
I still think the beginning is a little doll and it doesn't seem to get good until Terry Kiser character dies.
Of which he as an actor gets a hell of a lot better.
By doing nothing he somehow shows and he's more capable actor than anyone else as he just kind of has to roll his body along with a bunch of slapstick gimmicks and stupid scenarios.
It feels like a really long episode of a generic 80s sitcom. The whole thing could it be explained away with just a few words and our main characters to get themselves out of a pretty bad situation if they just acted like sensible adults from the start.
However the Mobsters may have tried to kill them later. But given that the movie doesn't show them after a while, I just presume that they cease to exist at all.
I think I recommend this film with your sick.
Like how I am today.
You don't have to pay a lot of attention to it. There's a lot of silly and dumb comedy to keep your brain entertained without having to really think about anything.
And the bright colours and vacation vib you get off of it makes for a really enjoyable experience when you feel like crap.
There's some fun Jamaican music as well. To be precise there's one Jamaican song they just use time and time again.
