8/10
Hilarious movie, where Terry Kiser is doing some fantastic slapstick comedy as the sleazy Bernie Lomax.
Always a great summer comedy favorite, with a feel-good/idiotic plot lots of funny scenes, and also we get the stunning 80s babe Cathrine Mary Stewart.
The sequel is not on the same level, but still worthy a watch, I give a 6/10.

7/10. Utterly dumb, but it kept me amused.

I can't fault it for its premise, when they invented that premise.

8/10.
It's one of those so-stupid-you-have-to-watch-it type of films. How I Met Your Mother (2005 - 2014) had an entire episode based around the plot in 2013.
The sequel on the other hand was...meh. The original should have been a standalone. The dead guy shtick was funny the first time around, but to think that they needed Bernie's corpse to locate treasure seemed idiotic, and not in a very humorous way. The company behind putting the sequel on DVD didn't even bother to make it widescreen.
But, I still love it for what it is. I'd gladly watch both of them again.

I love the two naive leads. Those guys were born to play those roles. Great performances all around. 8/10

Yeah, Jonathan Silverman did one hell of job here, as the sane person of the two main characters, while Andrew McCArthy is such a slimy bastard, and it works so well.
My favorite part is when good ol Bernie is having all of his shallow "friends" over for a great all night party and nobody cares to even notice that something is not all right, all while his two young house guests just cannot believe what is going on.

It has an amusing concept and some decent laughs, but never becomes greater than average.
The sequel is one of the worst movies I've ever seen.

Re-watched. C+
A good bad movie. I guess it's the last of its 1980's slapsticky comedy ilk. Re. the 2 leads, Silverman is quite annoying like an SNL castoff, & McCarthy seems a poor man's Michael J. Fox.
Still, some classic laughs - dragging Bernie behind the boat always gets me.
