Get dressed in your summer best and head to the Warner Theatre on Friday, March 1 at 8 pm when WEEKEND AT BERNIE'S will be shown on the big screen, sponsored by Elevator Service Company. Doors open at 7 pm and tickets are just $5! It sounded like a great weekend away at their boss Bernie's beachside pleasure palace.

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! Hilarious performances by McCarthy and Silverman make this fatally funny comedy a good old, knockdown slapstick with just the right dose of cruelty thrown in! (The Hollywood Reporter) Rated PG-13.
