Amazon.com Essential Video
Director John Waters creates here a wickedly funny--and nasty--comedy starring Kathleen Turner as the ultimate suburbanite: a woman so obsessed with suburban perfection that she kills a neighbor for not separating her recyclables. Hubby Sam Waterston and kids Matthew Lillard and Ricki Lake don't have a clue that in fact it is squeaky-clean mom who is the killer at large in their Baltimore neighborhood and who has murdered, among others, the guy who dumped her daughter. The final courtroom scene is a riot, turning her into a celebrity defendant (long before O.J.) and featuring a terrific cameo by Patty Hearst (yes, ithat/i Patty Hearst). Not for the squeamish or the easily offended, Waters's fans will find him in classic form. I--Marshall Fine/I

4 out of 5 stars true murder story from baltmore   July 10, 2004
abe (wva)
yep,its all true!if you watch it,youll laugh hystericly.its about this super- mom who goes around wasting people for very small social flaws like not rewinding thier videos before returning them and not wearing thier seatbelts.o kid should view this under 15.the humor is good natured.there is a good deal of blood.a chick goes topless for a short while towards the end.thats always a plus!riki lake is in it as the serial moms fat little whiny daughter.the message is that everyone has skeletons in thier closet.if you watch closely,everyone in this movie has a wierd flaw.as far as rikki lake goes,this one is far far better than that 50s movie she did.very funny indeed!check it out!


5 out of 5 stars One of the Greatest Comedies Ever!   January 14, 2004

I've loved this movie since the first time I ever saw it! It's pure comedy and genious! Be prepared for language and gore, and the wildest movie of your life!


5 out of 5 stars John Waters does it again !   January 3, 2004
Kathleen Turner chews up the scenery as Beverly Sutphin , A June Cleaver type mom who cooks , cleans , and kills . Her Loving family is made up of Sam Waterson ,Ricki Lake , and Matthew Lillard .brWater's regular Mink Stole is on hand as harrased victim , Dottie Hinkle .brPatty ( Patricia ) Hearst , Traci Lords , Suzanne Somers , and Joan Rivers make up the cast . brBeverly Kills her victim's with a Fire Poker , a Air Conditioner , even a Turkey Leg , all with a Smile and all her Hair in place . brMy oldest son's favorite scene is the Sneeze in Church .brThis is John Waters at his most Demented Best !brIf you've not seen Serial Mom you are in for a Twisted Treat !


5 out of 5 stars so funny   January 1, 2004

This movie is hilarious. A crazy mom who goes nuts and anyone who gets in her way gets killed. I know it sounds gross, but this movie is too funny to miss.


4 out of 5 stars Amazing   October 31, 2003
Phillip Neumann (Winter Park, Florida United States)
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!
