Good start, but then it gets ruined

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

This is a terrible film. I find the idea of killing a number of people in the most gory way imaginable and dressing it up as humour, thoroughly offensive. But then again this comes from twisted weirdo John Waters - so why am I surprised? Serial Mom makes Police Academy 7 look funny. One to completely erase from your memory.

My mom always told me when I was a kid that when I was older I really need to check out the movies of John waters. Wow she was right, I see where I get my sense of humor from that's for sure.I went into this one with only knowing the name of this movie, within the first few minutes you get a vibe of this one and its so enjoyable.If you like dark comedies this one is a staple point.

Serial Mom (1994) is a black comedy starring Kathleen Turner, Sam Waterson, Matthew Lillard and Ricki Lake. The movie focuses on a cheerful seemingly typical Baltimore housewife named Beverly Sutphin. Mrs Sutphin is not so sweet and innocent, if someone does something that annoys her or hurts one of her children..... you better watch your back because Beverly will kill without thinking twice. But will they be able to stop Beverly? All the murders are done in a satirical/comical manner, the entire movie is based in satire. The cast is all great! Kathleen Turner's lead performance as Beverly Sutphin is perfect! She fits the crazy serial mom role well and does so with the proper comedic twist. I really liked Matthew Lillard and Ricki Lake too, they both gave good performances as the kids. Sam Waterson honestly doesn't have all that much to do here, he's the doting husband of Beverly. The script has its definite funny moments since this really is a spoof on crime. Even how some of the victims get killed is funny. The crank phone calls between dotty hinkle and Beverly are absolutely hilarious, that's my favorite part of the entire film! If you don't like profanity then you won't like that scene lol. Overall, the movie isn't the best thing in the world, but it's amusing and entertaining. If you like comical spoof movies then you may enjoy this one. 7/10.

Meet Beverly Sutphin. Beverly is the absolute perfect, little suburban housewife and mother.In her immaculately perfect, little suburban home, Beverly just loves to cook, clean and dust her little heart out - All to please her perfectly wonderful husband, Eugene, and her 2 perfectly adorable children, Chip and Misty.But all is not what it seems in this picture perfectness. No. There's one teeny-weeny, little problem here - You see, even though she does a good job to hide it, Beverly Sutphin is a serial killer - Vicious, vengeful, with a mean-streak in her about a mile wide. And if you ever-ever do anything to make anyone in her perfect, little family feel even slightly bad, then you're dead meat on a stick, baby - Sure enough.Serial Mom (in its warped and twisted, little way) is a demented, over-the-top social satire that skewers the media for turning killers into celebrities and turns a one-note joke into a savage romp down good, ol' "Slasher Lane" that is definitely not suited for everyone's tastes.
