 Rated 4 out of 5
Amazing
I can not believe how well Kathleen Turner played her role in this movie. The story of a very charming, sweet, and easy going housewife and mom to those all around her has a little dark side..She’’s a Serial killer. She sets her revenge on those who either are hurting the environment, her family, or those who simply steal her parking spot at the local grocery store. (keep in mind this movie is a comedy) definitely worth renting or Purchasing. Kathleen Turner is Magnificient, and so is the rest of the cast! Rated 3 out of 5
The movie is hillarious... but be warned about the DVD
This film is hillarious. Every part of it is so well written and superbly acted - especially by the fabulous Kathleen Turner.So the movie is great. The features are surprisingly high considering the fashion of vintage film’’s features on DVDs.... spanish subtitles and one film commerical. Though I couldnt find the director’’s commentary (and still cant) I found alot of features that you can only see once you’’ve seen the film trailor/teaser. Now as for the problem that goes unaddressed and isnt really shouted out in Bold type face by amazon.... the DVD box is a carbboard board with a plastic clasp. Not only do these Warner Brother’’s style DVD boxes fail to fit in to a standard DVD rack or fit snuggly in your collection of other normal boxed DVDs, but the whole case doesnt work after repeated use over a short period of time. And this is the sort of film you’’ll be watching over and over again. In all... Love the film, hate the box. This is a HBO studios release and they’’ve followed the trend of those horrible card and clasp cases.  Rated 5 out of 5!
Fashion has changed! NO IT HAS NOT!!!!!
SERIAL MOM is John Waters at his delightfully darkest. Kathleen Turner plays a soccer mom who harbors secret psychopathic longings and begins acting them out in the most bizarre ways. Ever seen anyone killed with a turkey leg while singing a song from ANNIE? If you’’ve seen SERIAL MOM you have! Wow! Kathleen does a great job, but also look for Ricki Lake, Traci Lords, and a before he was famous Matthew Lillard throwing in great support. Oh, and who can forget Suzanne Sommers? She’’s awesome too! Waters regular Mink Stole steals her pussy willow scene as well. This is a great one! The DVD contains a commentary with John Waters, and as usual his track is every bit as entertaining as the movie. There are featurettes with all the leads talking about making this farce! It’’s a great package. DVD presentation is striking - good picture and sound of one of John’’s highest budget features.
