Bernie ****

Bernie.
Fun. Light. Deep. Dark.
Texas.
East Texas.
What an enjoyably odd story. Jack Black is, perhaps, at his best. He brings to Bernie a depth and whimsy that just makes him oddly likeable. And oddly intriguing. And oddly, well, odd. He’s certainly easy to like, no matter what he’s done. The movie mostly just raises questions that are never answered. But the movie does this in a way that makes that perfectly okay. It’s as if, at the end of the day, the answers really don’t matter.
As a movie, Bernie is definitely worth your time, especially if you get that which is small-town East Texas.
Enjoy!
