Bernie: But for a Dark Moment

Lovable Mostly
This is about one of the best Jack black movie ever to come our way. Jack Black is in the "death business" of a mortician but his role in  Carthage, Texas grew beyond the funeral home with his pivotal role in the church as his influence spread throughout the community.

A Dalliance that ended in death
He became likable and lovable and could even make Marjorie Nugent, the most dislikeable of characters in Carthage to soften her hear for Bernie.

 Matthew as the Go-getting Sheriff Buck
However, her possessiveness of Bernie got better of her and in a dark  moment of weakness, Bernie shot her in the back with her armadillo gun. He then kept her copse in the fridge waiting for a good time to give her the perfect funeral which never did come.

Bernie's trial had to be taken out of Carthage as the jury there will certainly return a verdict favourable to Bernie.

Found guilty of murder, Bernie served life and has yet to be released.

Well paced movie and you will definitely enjoy it.

Watch out for Jack Black-he really sings for real  like one charming canary!

By the way, this film is based on a true life story.
