scene report

Brace yourself for “a hectic and fun Weekend” (Los Angeles Times) filled with mayhem, misadventure…and murder! Hilarious performances by Andrew McCarthy and Jonathan Silverman make this fatally funny comedy a “good old, knockdown slapstick with just the right dose of cruelty thrown in” (The Hollywood Reporter)!

It sounded like a great weekend away at their boss Bernie’s beachside pleasure palace. But when working stiffs Richard and Larry (McCarthy and Silverman) arrive to find a real stiff — their murdered boss — they’re forced to concoct a crazy scheme to avoid being implicated and/or dead themselves! With Bernie propped up and his death effectively covered up, Richard and Larry’s weekend escape becomes exactly that, as they dodge curious babes, a curtain of bullets and one confused hit man!
