Review of Bernie (2012) by Brent D — 24 Mar 2013
Everybody loves Bernie, a real life Texas funeral director who was convicted of the murder of a local affluent widow, and with the performance jack Black gives - the best of his career - it's not hard to see why.
Although it does have a lot of laughs, it would probably be better listed as drama, although there's nothing sad in it. Jack Black proves once and for all that he can dramatize with the best of them, Shirley MacLaine is entertaining as the widow in question.
The film features some cameos from real life people who knew Bernie, and does an excellent job of showing how difficult upholding the law in court can sometimes be.
