Bernie (Jack Black, Shirley MacLaine movie) Has anyone seen this?

Randomly caught this on slingtv. I never thought I'd say I enjoyed a Jack Black movie. I love all the interviews with the townspeople, they sure dug up some funny looking people. It reminds me of the character actors of yore.

Yes, it's a funny movie. Jack Black is terrific in this. I loved his rendition of "76 Trombones."

I do think this should be required viewing for any DL'er.

Jack Black is painfully unfunny. I don't understand what Richard Linklater sees in him

Good movie MacLaine is good as usual and Black is actually endearing as he was in The School of Rock.

Matthew McConaughey was good as the DA and his mom played one of the gossiping locals. I also liked the bit at the end of the movie, during the credits, showing Jack Black visiting Bernie in prison.

R1 I was amazed at how well Jack Black moved during the Music Man scenes. He was very spry for being such a pudge.
