Rather mild and scattershot in its satiric marksmanship...
The murders are multiple but the joke is strictly one-note.
A killingly funny spoof of crime and nonpunishment.
Too realistically gory to really be funny.
Offensively tame and almost (gasp) tasteful.
I am not sure why this isn't very funny, but it's not.
Waters' cheery murder satire is gory and profane.
Lacks the bite it would need to be subversive, despite a few moments of vintage Waters tastelessness.
Annie's "Tomorrow" never sounded so optimistic.
A loose remake of Female Trouble with Polyester's subversively accessible polish, Serial Mom is the strongest film of the post-midnight-movie chapter of John Waters's career.
The film may be a bad-boy satirist's mournful acceptance that America has finally become sicker than anything he could dream up.
One of Waters' tamest and most accessible pictures (even played at Cannes Fest!) and one of the few to feature a legit star like Katheleen Thurner, who gives a gusto performance.
An uproariously funny, marvellously malicious performance from Turner.
Kathleen Turner should win an Oscar for her demented Mom role...
Not Waters' best by any means, but this irreverant black comedy entertains.
