Synopsis: Serial Mom (1994)

Synopis: Happy homemaker Beverly Sutphin (Kathleen Turner) has a charmed life--a beautiful suburban home, a successful dentist husband (Sam Waterston), and two normal teenagers, Misty (Ricki Lake) and Chip (Matthew Lillard). But she also has a good deal of underlying rage waiting to escape....Just be sure to follow her rules: Be polite to your neighbor, always recycle, rewind your videotapes, and never, ever wear white shoes after Labor Day. When one of her son's teachers speaks disparagingly of the boy at a parent-teacher conference, Bev runs the instructor over in the school parking lot. Suddenly she has an insatiable taste for murder. Six homicides later, the cops get wise to her crimes, which are committed with weapons ranging from a leg of lamb to a fireplace poker. A media frenzy ensues, turning an unrepentant Beverly into a media celebrity. A serial-killer comedy mixed with courtroom-drama social satire, the raunchy SERIAL MOM was John Waters's return to R-rated fare after the sweet-natured duo of HAIRSPRAY and CRY-BABY. Suburban life is duly skewered here as the serenity of Beverly's upper-middle-class surroundings are continually sullied by her comedically disturbing acts of violence. Turner appears to relish the opportunity to play such an over-the-top role, and the usual Baltimore-based supporting players make welcome appearances.

   It's certainly not his most tasteless film (try Pink Flamingos), nor his most trendy (try Cecil B Demented), nor even necessarily his best. But it's so far ahead of the usual Hollywood drivel that I *had* to give it 5 stars, just to draw your attention to it.
   
   THERE IS AN ALTERNATIVE TO THE USUAL HOLLYWOOD DRIVEL. THIS IS IT.
   
   Thanks for listing. ...

   Kathleen Turner gives a great performance as a Mom that's just a little bit too protective of her family. Without a doubt, John Waters' most accessible film to date. Watch for the infamous Patty Hearst in a cameo apperance! Perfect for the Mom that would "do anything" for her family.
