Bernie
Assistant funeral director Bernie Tiede (Jack Black) is one of the most-beloved residents in the small Texas town of Carthage. Sunday-school teacher, choir member and creator of spectacular funerals, Bernie is a friend to everyone, including Marjorie Nugent (Shirley MacLaine), a rich but nasty widow whom no one else likes. When Marjorie is found shot to death and stuffed in a freezer, Bernie is charged with the murder, and concerned Carthage citizens immediately spring to his defense.

Being friendly is often the best currency in small towns like Carthage, Texas.
(Full review)But for Bernie Tiede, it wasn't enough to buy protection from justice after killing reviled millionaire widow Marjorie Nugent. What it did afford him was vocal support from Carthage citizens who seemed to have little concern that Tiede killed a woman in cold blood.
