Great bits of satire

John Waters' gleeful story of a suburban housewife who leads a prim and proper life on the surface, but has a malevolent side. Others catch on to the violence she commits pretty quickly, making the serial murders campy fun, but rather episodic. The best parts of the film were the little bits of satire Waters peppered into the script. The rock band Camel Lips continuing to play on while a man is immolated onstage, even adding to the fire. The woman's family trying to monetize her trial by hawking t-shirts and anticipating a TV dramatization. The priest who uses twisted logic to argue that Christ would have supported the death penalty. "Jesus said nothing to condemn capital punishment as he hung on the cross, did he?" he says. There's something inherently funny about a mom singing along to Barry Manilow's 'Daybreak' as she's on her way to committing more mayhem, and subversive too. I got a little less out of the various murders, like the bludgeoning with a leg of lamb, but was entertained.

Beverly Sutphin is not to be trifled with

Imagine this: the main character is a woman called Beverly Sutphin. Her husband is a dentist and she does her best to bring up her children. In short, she is a respectable human being with the particularity of being a real stickler for good manners . Maybe, a little too respectable so that when someone speaks ill of one member of her family, Beverly is ready to kill to defend her family!

Only one filmmaker seemed designated to shot this highly entertaining black comedy: John Waters, the king of bad taste and extravagance. In "Serial Mom", most of the comical situations are structured about the two quoted characteristics. The whole is condensed in one hour and a half. You don't get bored one moment and you honestly laugh in front of all these murders. In "Serial Mom", you also recognize Waters' strong taste for bloody, gore and horror movies. Moreover, for this extraordinary director, it is the occasion to harm the model image of the American family.

All in all, a delightfully politically incorrect comedy led by a Kathleen Turner on top form.

Love it!

This movie was offensive, vulgar, shocking, and yes, mean spirited. Forgive me if I'm wrong, but isn't that was John Waters is all about? Kathleen Turner and Sam Waterston do a wonderful job of overacting (badly) in classic Waters fashion. Liver on a fireplace poker? Turner as June Cleaver making obscene and threatening phone calls? Juror 8 (Patty Hearst) wearing white shoes after Labor Day? How can you not love it? This movie ranks up there with Citizen Ruth or Heathers as one of the best black comedies ever. And it also seems to have given some inspiration to Natural Born Killers, the finest of the genre. (Although not nearly as easy to stomach.)

Sick and subversive treat from John Waters

Beverly Sutphin (Kathleen Turner) seems to be a typical Betty Crocker suburban housewife. Unfortunately, people are dropping like flies around her! Could this perfect mom be a serial killer?

"Serial Mom" is a ridiculously charming and clever film that never really received the credit it deserved. It is John Waters' best mainstream film, and its tongue-in-cheek portrayal of suburbia, domesticity, the media, and conventional gender roles is delightfully subversive. Kathleen Turner was criminally underrated--this was her best performance to date. The dialogue is hilarious, the murders are wickedly funny, and the overall atmosphere of the film is disturbingly bright and shiny. Co-stars Waters regulars Mink Stole, Ricki Lake, Traci Lords, and features a dynamite cameo by grunge goddesses L7. My Rating: 9/10

Very good satirical horror comedy

I saw Monday at MotelX

Very good satirical horror comedy with plenty of black humor, from the disruptor, unsubmissive and transgressor master John Waters.

It satirizes society's fascination with serial killers as well as inconsistencies in society's moral values.

Great interpretation by Kathleen Turner, in this fun comedy where even the well-known rock band L7 (here as Camel Lips) is like a fish in water and contributes to chaos...

I strongly recommend.

Curiosidades
This was Matthew Lillard's first film. When he noticed that Kathleen Turner had memorized everyone's names from the call sheets, he asked her why she did it. Her reply was, "Oh, honey, that's the first thing you do!"

Erros de gravação
When Beverly goes to Chip's school for a P.T.A. meeting, Mr. Stubbins says Chip is "off to a fine start this year". However, a card in the opening scene established that the day is Friday, May 14, 1993, which would be nearing the end a school year, not the beginning.
