Movie Review: Bernie-2011

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.
