Movie Haiku:From the "truth is stranger than fiction" files comes this fascinating tale from East Texas starring Jack Black as "Bernie Tiede," a huge- hearted Funeral Home manager who gets involved with a local widow (MacLaine) after he buries her weathy husband. All true but told in the style of one of Christopher Guest''s mocumentaries with real townies providing back-up.
