Weekend at Bernie's

IDK if I already did a post on this movie, but every time I think of it, I bust out into hysterics. It's hilarious. I highly recommend watching this movie if you want to laugh!

Weekend at Bernie's
Summary
-Larry Wilson and Richard Parker are two young employees trying to make their way up in an insurance company. One is all about charm and the other is all about hard work. One day, Richard Parker comes across a serious financial error on a printout. He takes it to their boss Bernie Lomax. He feigns excitement and invites them to his beach house in the Hamptons for the weekend. His actual plan is to have them killed to keep them silent. But he has already made a mistake: he is fooling around with the girlfriend of his Mafia partner, which is a big no-no in the mob world. The Don has his hit man Paulie go and kill Bernie. When the two discover he's dead, they have to have everyone who comes to his house believing he's still alive
