#SERIAL MOM 1994 FULL MOVIE SERIAL#
Serial Mom's story is relatively simple but there are several layers of connotative meaning simmering beneath the surface. Equipped with the largest budget he had to date, Serial Mom allowed him to unleash his irreverent sensibilities while staying within the confines of a commercial "R" rating. Waters has always prided himself as a crude and lewd satirist as well as a master of conflating trash with art. When Savoy Pictures unveiled Serial Mom to the public in spring of 1994, audiences either "got" writer/director John Waters's underlying messages or they didn't. He had a fun idea but executed it in a way that isn't as funny as it could have been.Reviewed by Dr.

Waters is railing against a 1950's nuclear family and that dates the movie to its detriment. Turner is playing a certain note which isn't completely comedic. In a way, I want this to be much more ridiculous so that it can accentuates the comedy. After a certain point, one wonders why it's not more fun.

It's a series of random slights and silly killings. It's really funny when she is first revealed but it does get repetitive.
It's a fun wacky concept from filmmaker John Waters. Underneath the suburban facade, she is pure evil, a murderous serial mom who kills for the slightest reasons. She has a suburban dentist husband (Sam Waterston), and suburban kids, Misty (Ricki Lake) and Chip (Matthew Lillard). Reviewed by SnoopyStyle 6 / 10 fun at firstīeverly Sutphin (Kathleen Turner) is a proper suburban mom in Baltimore. DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES may satirise those kinds of things these days, but SERIAL MOM got there first! This gives Waters plenty of opportunity for satirising American law and order, fame, celebrity as well as suburban life and the nuclear family. Not so here - she's discovered, and becomes an unlikely celebrity, basking in her new-found fame.
In lesser hands, Turner would have successfully covered up her murders for the film's duration. What I like most about SERIAL MOM is the plot. The murder scene set to ANNIE is by far my favourite moment and one of the funniest things I've ever seen. Add in a quirky family (young 'uns Ricki Lake and Matthew Lillard are both particularly funny) and you have the scene set for plenty of unusual and unexpected laughs. Sutphin, a seemingly ordinary housewife with a sinister side: she bumps off anybody who crosses her. Kathleen Turner bags the role of a lifetime as Beverly R. I'm no fan of John Waters - in fact, this is the only film of his I've ever seen - but in this he has created pretty much the perfect antidote to the psycho-thriller genre. SERIAL MOM is one of my all-time favourite black comedies, a genre that's notoriously difficult to get right (I mean, seriously, how many good ones can you think of?). Reviewed by Leofwine_draca 9 / 10 Pitch perfect black comedy NOTE-Like many of John Waters' later films, this one features a cameo by Patty Hearst. DEMENTED, it's an interesting satire that is a way over the top look at America's fascination with celebrity and how we admire and are fascinated with anyone if they are famous-even the vile and horrific. This movie, start to finish, is very funny and a great satiric look at life in the suburbs. Kathleen Turner turns in her best performance as a combination between June Cleaver and Ted Bundy-complete with the pearl necklace.
Plus, this is one of the few Waters films you can watch with your kids-provided they are older and not terribly impressionable! However, this is NOT to say that SERIAL MOM is normal-just a lot more normal than these earlier flicks. So if you are looking for the ultra-low budget over-the-top films starring Divine, you may be disappointed that this film has a lot more polish and higher production values.
Unlike Waters' earlier films, which were meant for a niche audience (i.e., weird people-and I don't mean that derogatorily). This is probably one of John Waters' most approachable films for the mass audience-along with CRY BABY and HAIRSPRAY. Reviewed by MartinHafer 8 / 10 super-cheesy fun
