Richard Linklater's "Bernie" is a compelling, wholly unique film. It's perhaps the first dramedocumentary, equal parts comedy, drama and documentary. "Bernie" tells the story of Bernie Tiede (Jack Black), an assistant funeral director in a small East Texas town who has a penchant for taking up with old widows, particularly Marjorie Nugent (Shirley MacLaine).
