When they discover that their deceased boss had stashed away two million illegally embezzled dollars in a Caribbean safe deposit box, two co-workers decide to claim the cash. To do so, however, they must convince everyone the boss is actually alive -- a situation which seems oddly familiar to them both. This sequel to the popular 1989 comedy Weekend at Bernie's promises more of the same: slapstick with an amazingly lifelike corpse at the center. Whatever freshness the premise may have once had has vanished, however, and the occasionally clever set pieces become lost under the weight of a number of cluttered subplots. ~ Judd Blaise, All Movie Guide

Andrew McCarthy and Jonathan Silverman continue to baby-sit a dead body in Weekend at Bernie's 2. The film comes to DVD with a pair of transfers. The widescreen anamorphic transfer preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.85:1, and is preferable to the standard full-frame transfer. The English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital Surround. English and Spanish subtitles are accessible. Supplemental materials are limited to theatrical trailers. Fans of the film will not be disappointed with the technical aspects of this disc, but there is nothing here to draw in the average DVD consumer. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide
