Netflix Stars - Bernie

5 stars - Dark humor, but funny!  And it's a true story!  All characters were played to perfection by Jack Black, Shirley MacLaine and Matthew McConaughey (look for his mom in a cameo role!).  Plus it was filmed in Central Texas - Bastrop and Texas State University.  I loved the townspeople weighing in throughout the movie - mockumentary style, especially the one in the restaurant explaining the State of Texas in the beginning.   Definitely different.  Definitely good.

This movie was very good, very funny. I especially loved the townspeople's comments. "The five states of Texas" was hilarious! That wasn't actually Matthew's mother in the film; same last name, but not his Mom. According to imdb.com "His mother, Mary Kathleen "Kay" McCabe, is a schoolteacher."
