When you choose to see a movie like this one, you have the missed conception that you are about to see a comedy film about Jack Black, been Jack Black, probably because there is not a lot of you can expect from him, besides been hyper, ironic, create an atmosphere of total craziness. Perhaps you are wrong. Bernie is a real story about an assistant funeral director, been loved by the ladies in that small town in Texas.

The film is a dark comedy about a murder, about a the town of Cathage, and a old widow Marjorie Nugnet. The movie explores feelings and the debate of how a person can be forced to kill another person, the motives and lastly how someone so nice and naive can be love by this town Cathage, Texas besides been a killer. One of the most impressive and funny performance is Matthew McConaughey

The collaboration of Linklater and Black can't be compared between Bernie and School of Rock, there are two different movies with different subjects, but perhaps the films presents two charters who look to be appreciated and do what they do best and what they love.
