FINALLY! "Bernie" is a movie worth watching

Bernie (9) got me back to the theater. Glad I went (for a change.)

My One and Only



Rating: 6

Starring Renee Zellweger, Kevin Bacon, Logan Lerman, Mark Rendall
For Mature Audience
Genre: Comedy/Drama

You know George Hamilton. He’s the well-preserved 70 year old guy with the deep tan. Beginning in 1960, he has appeared in more than 30 movies and still shows up from time to time on TV talk programs. This is the story of his teen-aged odyssey across country from New York to Los Angeles via Pittsburg & St. Louis with his mother (Zellweger) and brother after she leaves his philandering father (Bacon). The movie has some good humor to it and Zellweger plays her role well. You will probably sympathize with her even though you recognize her selfish qualities. Lerman and Rendell play the young brothers. Not a great movie but interesting.
