"Bernie" is one of the strangest movies I've ever seen. More than a little of that is due to the fact that the true story upon which it is based is one of the most bizarre I've ever heard. Jack Black does some of his best work here as the title character - the nicest guy in a small Texas town that would never hurt a fly, let alone commit murder. Or would he? The plot unfolds in documentary style with extremely authentic and often hilarious interviews with the people of the town in which the events take place. However the humor is sometimes overshadowed by its dark undertones. If you're into dark comedies, you'll love it. If you're like me and the genre isn't exactly your thing, you'll find a lot to like but ultimately find it a bit uncomfortable.
