In the tiny town of Carthage, TX, assistant funeral director Bernie Tiede (Jack Black) was one of the town’s most beloved residents. He taught Sunday school, sang in the church choir and was always willing to lend a helping hand. Everyone loved Bernie, so it came as no surprise when he befriended Marjorie Nugent (Shirley MacLaine), an affluent widow. Directed by acclaimed auteur Richard Linklater.

There is no escalator in the mall at Longview Tx.
Been going to that mall since it opened in 1978
This did happen, right here in Carthage Tx.
I forgot that i had watched this one Funny ass movie….
America is nuts , I love it , I even love actors and Hollywood is more nuts .
Love this movie
Shirley MacLaine is like that in real life, especially to her daughter.
Tenacious D Duo
well made movie, and jack black is an A+ actor, but the real bernie , based on what i see in this movie, is a classic socialpath conman and now murderer, all those people that thought he was just great are fools. he targeted widows , likely his plan from the moment he got into the funeral business. but they tmade a movie about him that makes him look like an angel so just let him out of prison.
Fantastic movie about a true story from my area. Casting was spot on
A true story.
Definitely a must if you like Jack black.
