	Serial Mom (1994) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The mother of the household, an anal-retentive but loving wife and mom, is a serial killer who's quick to take lethal offense and starts knocking off the neighbors she secretly despises.
		Mom does have certain quirks, though, like cheerfully killing off friends and neighbors for the most minor slights, real or imagined, against her or any member of her family.
		Certainly no one else is likely to discuss serial killer Richard Speck's woman-like breasts; whether the the Lindbergh baby kidnapping or O.J. Simpson was the trial of the century; or repeat a rumor about Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinksy as hilarious as it is inflammatory, and far ranker than anything in the Starr Report.

	RollingStone.com: Serial Mom Review
		Serial Mom is a spirited return to form for the actress after V.I. Warshawski, House of Cards and Undercover Blues.
		Though Serial Mom is a mainstream movie with a modest budget ($13 million) and a respectable R rating.
		Serial Mom might also prove too violent for those who refuse to accept murder as a proper subject for laughter.

	:: rogerebert.com :: Serial Mom
		"Serial Mom" has as its central joke (and a very long-running joke it is) that Beverly Sutphin, a cheerful Baltimore housewife who makes terrific meatloaf, is a serial killer.
		Both films, like "Serial Mom," depend for a lot of their humor on his memories of a time when people seriously believed that cheese could come in cans.
		He may have directed some of the most shocking and scatological films of our time, but at some level he always expresses a tenderness for his characters, and in "Serial Mom" he is simply not able to be cruel enough to Beverly Sutphin to make her available for our laughter.

	Dark Star - Film Reviews: Serial Mom (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Serial Mom recounts the tragic story of Beverly Sutphin, (Kathleen Turner in one of her finest roles), a seemingly perfect suburban housewife, always ready with a perky smile and a cheery word.
		Then a sad, pitying frown crosses her face, and without missing a beat she becomes Serial Mom, a maniac whose reign of terror starts with hatefully obscene phone calls, and ends only after she has removed someone's liver with a toasting fork.
		Raging and tearful, the youngster tells Serial's son that 'Your mom killed my brother', but hate is quickly changed to gratitude, as the son smoothly suggests cutting the lad in for some of the mini series rights.

	serial mom
		Serial Mom, Waters' new comedy, is about a suburban wife and mother who kills people.
		Waters introduces the family in a scene that plays as borderline parody (all it needs is a perky dog named Spot) and neatly establishes that Bev isn't playing with a full deck: Tracking a fly around the breakfast table, she swats it bloodily and with a little too much enthusiasm.
		We watch Serial Mom go after people who don't recycle, who don't rewind rental videos before returning them, who cheat her out of a parking space.

	THE CINEMA LASER DVD REVIEW-- SERIAL MOM
		With SERIAL MOM, the auteur of comic bad taste may have made his mainstream masterpiece, thanks to his mainstream leading lady.
		I seriously doubt that Kathleen Turner has ever had a more bizarre role than she plays in SERIAL MOM, and that is saying a lot for the actress who starred in Ken Russell's CRIMES OF PASSION.
		SERIAL MOM also stars Sam Waterston as Beverly's husband Eugene, a steadfast family man, who can't believe that his perfect wife is a perfect nut.

	filmcritic.com Movie Review: Serial Mom
		Serial Mom is a serial killer so different from the norm that you have to laugh out loud.
		The motives for her crimes are silly breakings of social convention (cutting people off in the parking lot of Jo-Anne's fabric, standing a girl up at a flea market, eating chicken, wearing white shoes after labor day, etc.), to which she responds with a viscous psychopathic murder spree (is there any other kind?).
		As she kills, evades police officers, and goes on car chases, Beverly acts as if it was all a game (she's smiling and giggling all the time).

	: Serial Mom
		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.
		In classic John Waters style, Serial Mom tells the story of a woman who takes caring for her family VERY seriously.
		SERIAL MOM is one of John Waters' more mainstream movie offerings and thus lacks the edge of earlier efforts (PINK FLAMINGOES, POLYESTER), though does have Kathleen Turner in one of her most accomplished tour-de-forces.

		John Waters's film about a suburban mom turned serial killer lacks the bite it would need to be subversive, despite a few moments of vintage Waters tastelessness.
		A local punk band has already started transforming Serial Mom into pop culture myth--the police capture her when she stumbles into one of their concerts--and there's more to come.
		He may seem the perfect person to make a comedy about serial murder and the wormy underside of American pie suburbia, but SERIAL MOM is a curiously sanitized and lifeless affair.

	Movie Reviews by Edwin Jahiel
		"Serial Mom" obviously feeds on the idealized families that young Waters watched on TV in the 1950s.
		Mom keeps leaving obvious clues yet still gets away with crime, thanks to police ineptness and her family's brainlessness.
		When finally the cops stalk Mom, they do it with the longest line of police cars since "The Sugarland Express." And when she goes on trial and acts as her own lawyer, she outfoxes judge, witnesses and jurors in some of the funniest moments of the film.

	Review: Serial Mom (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		A whole new approach to the subject of dysfunctional families is taken by John Waters in Serial Mom.
		Waters focuses on a well-scrubbed suburban clan with a skeleton in the closet: Beverly (Kathleen Turner) is seething with resentments that erupt in shocking acts of violence against anyone who crosses her or her brood.
		Beverly keeps a scrapbook on America's notorious serial killers; she's a product of the tabloids, and then her crimes provoke another media feeding frenzy, with Suzanne Somers hired to star as Serial Mom in the inevitable TV movie of her life.

		Beverly Sutphin (Kathleen Turner) portrays a woman who obeys all of the rules and is a sweet, respectful citizen, but...For those who have wronged her, or upset her in any way, watch out.
		Serial Mom is more coherant, tightly plotted, and well...
		If you're a newbie, Serial Mom is probably a good way to ease yourself into a John Waters frame of mind.

	Serial Mom DVD at Video Universe
		SERIAL MOM is John Waters's spoof of (and homage to) the perfect suburban housewife--and the homicidal impulses seething beneath that cheery exterior.
		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.

	Review: Serial Mom (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Serial Mom self- consciously and clumsily establishes Beverly's homicidal tendencies.
		Too little time and effort is spent setting her up as a representation of the middle-class ideal, and the early parodies of suburbia (a ripe enough target) are derivative and poorly-realized.
		Ultimately, Serial Mom is deserving of the same fate as any of Beverly's victims: a quick death.

		Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit
		Waters' recent, bigger-budget films don't seem subversive in the way that his bargain-basement indies did, because the object of their loving derision is a 1950s white-bread America, derived mostly from television, that has already been parodied to death and seems at too much of a remove from anything vital or on-the-line.
		Waters' distinctive humor could also be better amplified and sustained if it were goosed up by more stylized visuals; the decor is right, but if the lensing and technique were as audacious and cockeyed as the ideas and jokes, the material would be socked over more impressively.

		In Serial Mom, he harks back in terms of violence to those earliest projects, although in other ways he moves more directly towards the commercial mainstream.
		Serial Mom particularly recalls Multiple Maniacs, which was inspired by the Sharon Tate murder and featured Divine as a mass murderer who dailies en route to damnation with a perverted nun.
		As it has in common with his earliest films a tendency towards grotesquely and flly humorous murders, Serial Mom matches Water's more recent work in terms of being slick and stylish.

		John Waters made more accessible films in the 1990s than he had in the past, but this doesn't mean they were any less biting, just less obvious.
		Serial Mom is often dismissed as too commercial, but that criticism is taking this wonderful satire at face value.
		Kathleen Turner is outstanding as an old-fashioned mom with high morals who goes nuts and kills people for very minor infractions (chewing gum, for example).

		She is arrested whereupon she is nicknamed ‘Serial Mom’ by the media.
		But at the trial she determines to conduct her own defense by exposing the dirty secrets and hypocrisies of the witnesses brought to condemn her.
		And unfortunately by the time the film arrived on the scene the whole satiric theme of the media obsession with serial killers had been done by Natural Born Killers (1994) and Water’s rehash of it comes across surprisingly dull.
