In general, the film community took Jack Black for granted. A consistent mainstay in movies, particularly comedies, for years, not to mention his wide variety of other talents notably as the lead singer of his band, Tenacious D. In the last handful of years, thanks to his appearance in family-friendly entertainment such as the Kung Fu Panda series, the Jumanji franchise, and The Super Mario Bros. Movie, Black has experienced a renaissance of sorts. When engaging in a retrospective of his career, one film of his, Bernie, ought to stand out from the bunch as perhaps the ultimate demonstration of his uber talent.
