The Hollywood Reporter -
Mainly Bernie's is good old, knock-down slapstick with just the right dose of cruelty thrown in.

Rolling Stone -
All 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.

Washington Post -
Weekend at Bernie's is an unfettered but uninspired one-joke movie.

Chicago Sun-Times -
Weekend 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.

Austin Chronicle -
What we have here is a film with no respect for the laws of nature, the laws of man, or the intelligence of the viewer.
