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!
