John Water's masterpiece
Added 1/27/2010
Only Waters could make such a movie. Kathleen Turner is perfect as the all American mom with a little anger problem!

This movie turns the 'happy homemaker' on its head and thats what makes it so funny! It pokes fun at the old homemaker archeotype and pushes it to the extremes to uncover a scary (albeit funny) truth. One of my favorites! I love Kathleen Turner!

Pretty cool

Serial mom is a cute movie. The actors you will know and the plot is a good one. This is more of a comedy although there is a lot of killing in it. It's a good movie worth a waatch.

Classically funny black comedy with 2 director tracks
Added 8/8/2009
After my copy of the earlier DVD release of "Serial Mom" got damaged, I was happy to find this "deluxe" version had both the original commentary and a new "dialogue" commentary with Waters and Kathleen Turner. Although there is overlap in "insights," both are priceless, not to mention the film itself - Waters' comic take on the "crimes" of suburbia...

"A Very Funny Comedy"
Added 7/21/2009
"Serial Mom" is a comedic take on 1950's TV sitcoms that featured mothers like June Cleaver who wore pearls and dresses (never pants) and who kept their homes cleaned to perfection while at the same time making sure their husbands and children had wonderful meals. These same moms also demanded their family members never swear, go to school and get good grades, and become impeccable people. Kathleen Turner plays one of these mothers, but unbeknownst to her splendid family, is a crazed psycho who goes on a killing rampage when people don't live up to her expectations. For example, she kills an old woman with a leg of lamb when the old woman doesn't rewind a VHS tape she rented from a video store!
The movie is really funny and Kathleen Turner (who plays Serial Mom) is having a blast playing a part that was made for her. Some of her best scenes are the ones in which she harrrasses a neighbor on the phone, calling her foul names and using explicit language.
"Serial Mom", unfortunately, wasn't a big hit at the boxoffice, but has become popular from regular TV airings and releases on the home video market. This particular DVD release features the film in widescreen format, has audio commentary with director John Walters and Kathleen Turner, as well as interviews with some of the cast members.
You will laugh your head off watching "Serial Mom"! Look for a pre-talk show host Ricki Lake who plays the daughter.
