- 70The Hollywood ReporterDuane ByrgeThe Hollywood ReporterDuane ByrgeMainly Bernie's is good old, knock-down slapstick with just the right dose of cruelty thrown in.
- 38Rolling StonePeter TraversRolling StonePeter TraversAll cast members seem willing to make total fools of themselves for our delectation. A fine but futile gesture. The bad news is that even with such yeoman efforts, it's still impossible to drag one tired joke around for nearly two hours. Like Bernie, the movie ends up dead on its feet.
- 37Washington PostHal HinsonWashington PostHal HinsonWeekend at Bernie's is an unfettered but uninspired one-joke movie.
- 25Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertChicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertWeekend at Bernie’s makes two mistakes: It gives us a joke that isn’t very funny, and it expects the joke to carry an entire movie.
- 20Austin ChronicleAustin ChronicleWhat we have here is a film with no respect for the laws of nature, the laws of man, or the intelligence of the viewer.
