horizontal line

A quirky, low-key, factually based, satirical film in which charismatic, likable, singing, assistant funeral director Bernard Tiede (Jack Black), who is hired by the small-town head mortician (Rick Dial) in Carthage, Texas, surprises the preacher (Larry Jack Dotson), the sheriff (Brandon Smith), the little old small-town ladies (Jo Perkins, Mollie Fuller, Glenda Jones, Cozette McNeely, Sylvia Froman, Ann Reeves, Margaret Bowman, et al.), two district attorneys (Matthew MsConaughey and Brady Colman), a stockbroker (Lloyd Hornbuckle), and other residents (Mathew Greer, Sonny Davis, Jack Payne, James Baker, et al.), that he was involved in the death of a mean, ornery, controlling, wealthy widow (Shirley MacLaine) after he begins working for her and being her constant companion.
