| ......then may I suggest the Corinthian |
The story for this film has its basis on a true story, which makes it more interesting. But if it hadn't, the characterization of Bernie, a funeral director in a small Texan town, was played to a to great effect and Jack Black played it with empathy and at times with humor.It is better to watch this without knowing anything about the film or the story. The story is food for thought and leaves you wishing you would know more about Bernie because we know nothing about him before his time in Carthage. It was well written and directed and I enjoyed it well. My favourite scene sees Jack black take charge of a funeral ceremony in an awkward moment and start singing Amazing grace with a terrific voice. Shirley Maclaine, one of my favourite classic actors was adequate though a little wasted as she is given little to say. Well recommended.
