Synopsis: In small-town Texas, the local mortician strikes up a friendship with a wealthy widow, though when he kills her, he goes to great lengths to create the illusion that she's alive.
I wanted to watch this movie because I enjoy Jack Black films. It was titled Bernie and even reading the summary sounded like it was like a great older movie Weekend at Bernies where whenever music was played Bernie would come back to life. Unfortunately it wasn't like that at all. This movie was dubbed to be a comedy and I can only remember laughing maybe once. They kept interviewing people in the town who talked about Bernie the mortician and I loath documentary type movies. The only movie like that I enjoyed was District 9. The movie barely caught my interest most of the time and in fact, I played Songpop through some of it LOL. It had a few other big celebrities in it, Shirley MacLaine and Matthew McConaughey. I really have no clue why Jack Black decided to take this script, he should have just thrown it away.
I rate this movie 1 star out of 5. I would not recommend wasting your time on this one. I wouldn't even bother renting it. I only finished watching it just to make sure something exciting didn't happen at the end and intrigue me but it didn't. It just dragged on and on and I am surprised I didn't fall asleep. Ok, hopefully I saved you some valuable time by not watching this obscure movie. Til next time.
