BERNIE

Movie:  Bernie
Jan's Rating:  B
Time:  104 Minutes

Jan's Opinion:  Just saw this movie with my friend, Laura, and we both really enjoyed it.  It is a true story about "Bernie", played by Jack Black, and takes place in Carthage, TX.  Shirley MacLaine and Matthew McConaughay also star in this movie.  Bernie is a nice guy, 39 years old, who is the Asst. Funeral Director in town and he makes up the dead bodies to look good for the funerals, then he sympathizes with the old ladies in town and everyone loves him.  There is a mean old lady in town that everyone says is a bitch, and these people call a spade a spade, but Bernie decides to become her friend, which is the biggest mistake in his life.  A lot of the town's people are in the movie, telling you about Bernie, and we enjoyed them as much as the story itself.  Hope you enjoy it too.
