The movie "Weekend at Bernie's" is a comedy. Two men arrive at the beach home of their boss, Bernie Lomax, only to find him dead. For reasons we won't get into, they put sunglasses on Bernie, prop him up on a couch and drag him around to make everyone believe he's alive. There's a hit man involved, and a pretty woman. Hilarity ensues.

Trying to re-create the movie in real life? Not so entertaining. Actually, it's criminal.
