What I think the plot of A Weekend at Bernie's is (Patreon)

A lot of people know about A Weekend at Bernie's, but almost no one I know has actually seen it. Have you seen it? Please say yes or no loudly to your computer or smart phone now.

Since I've never seen the movie, I thought it would be fun to try to reason out what I think the movie might be about given the few data points I have (Bernie dies, they pretend he's alive, there's a party, there's a boat).

I think I got pretty close.

Enjoy.
