Serial Mom (DVD)

****** Serial Mom ****** This film is one of John Waters finest; he takes a normal family and gives them a few interesting twists. Though this film is alittle predictable at times I don't think it matters one bit, as it suits the cast well. My cousin Thomas or Tomsk as I like to call him first showed me this film about 5 years ago, while having a pizza hehe. It really made me laugh at times how cheeky and naughty the mother (Kathleen Turner) is. ...

Review of Serial Mom (DVD)

'Serial Mom' is a great comedy and a thoroughly entertaining film, exploiting to the full the talents of Kathleen Turner. She delivers a highly fun and amusing performance, from the start presenting the viewer with the image of a unique and humorous character.

Review of Serial Mom (DVD)

Serial mom is a good-hearted twist on a serious true story. It stars Beverly Sutphin (Kathleen Turner) as a average fammily mom back in the suberbian towns of Arlington, Texas U.S.A. Although unknown to everyone else she has another side. This is quite comedic as she transforms from a nice pleasant woman to a heartless murderer. Must see, based on the true story of the worlds first female serial killer, a light-hearted comedy with a serious mesage. ...
