FINALLY! "Bernie" is a movie worth watching

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

Overall Rating: 4
Starring: Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Emma Stone, Abigail Breslin
Genre: Comedy




America has been laid waste by flesh-eating zombies. Eisenberg has survived by following a list ofg risk-avoiding rules. Harrelson is a shotgun toting roughneck who thrives on shooting zombies. The two cross paths and bond tenuously. They meet up with two sisters. The four eventually end up in California at the home of Bill Murray. Along the way they kill numerous zombies, and they continue their killing spree at a California playground. It’s all in good fun, you understand, since this is a comedy. Two reviews I read gave this a 3 out of 4 stars. My theory is that reviewers begin to grade on the curve at times like this when there’s a dearth of good movies. It’s been recording some good box office numbers. Quite likely, I’m the one that doesn’t “get it”.
