Reviews:
"A unique work, a special film, a wonderful story, amazing characters; you'll watch the end credits with a big smile on your face" - Urbancinefile.com.au
"I had to forget what I knew about Black. He creates this character out of thin air, it's like nothing he's done before, and it proves that an actor can be a miraculous thing in the right role" - Chicago Sun-Times
"As Bernie, Jack Black is about as reined-in as you'll see him. Effeminate, emotional, generous and cuddly, he's easy to root for when push comes to shooting" - Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
