DVD Reviews of Serial Mom (Collector's Edition)
DVD Review: Pretty cool
Summary: 4 Stars
Serial mom is a cute movie. The actors you will know and the plot is a good one. This is more of a comedy although there is a lot of killing in it. It's a good movie worth a waatch.DVD Review: Classically funny black comedy with 2 director tracks
Summary: 4 Stars
After my copy of the earlier DVD release of "Serial Mom" got damaged, I was happy to find this "deluxe" version had both the original commentary and a new "dialogue" commentary with Waters and Kathleen Turner. Although there is overlap in "insights," both are priceless, not to mention the film itself - Waters' comic take on the "crimes" of suburbia...DVD Review: "A Very Funny Comedy"
Summary: 5 Stars
"Serial Mom" is a comedic take on 1950's TV sitcoms that featured mothers like June Cleaver who wore pearls and dresses (never pants) and who kept their homes cleaned to perfection while at the same time making sure their husbands and children had wonderful meals. These same moms also demanded their family members never swear, go to school and get good grades, and become impeccable people. Kathleen Turner plays one of these mothers, but unbeknownst to her splendid family, is a crazed psycho who goes on a killing rampage when people don't live up to her expectations. For example, she kills an old woman with a leg of lamb when the old woman doesn't rewind a VHS tape she rented from a video store!
The movie is really funny and Kathleen Turner (who plays Serial Mom) is having a blast playing a part that was made for her. Some of her best scenes are the ones in which she harrrasses a neighbor on the phone, calling her foul names and using explicit language.
"Serial Mom", unfortunately, wasn't a big hit at the boxoffice, but has become popular from regular TV airings and releases on the home video market. This particular DVD release features the film in widescreen format, has audio commentary with director John Walters and Kathleen Turner, as well as interviews with some of the cast members.
You will laugh your head off watching "Serial Mom"! Look for a pre-talk show host Ricki Lake who plays the daughter.

Summary: 5 Stars
The funniest movie ever.
Also packed with lost of extras.
Worthwhile getting it specially if you're a fan of John Waters.
DVD Review: Dark Humor
Summary: 4 Stars
Is "warped" a good word to describe this film? How about "sick?" Actually, that's what you get with a "dark" comedy, a movie you don't take seriously, a farce and usually fun to watch. It's shocking to hear the language on "mom" (Kathleen Turner), and the deeds she does, but that's the idea here: shock.
The film is a spoof on serial killers, horror movies and wholesome family values. They particularly make fun of the latter, something filmmakers love to do anyway, being of the unwholesome types they are themselves.
As common as their bias is, the film is still unique as Turner plays a female Charles Bronson-like "Death Wish" character by instantly retaliating against anyone who ruffles her feathers and she is fun to watch.
Description of Serial Mom (Collector's Edition)
Director John Waters puts a twist on the everyday mediocrity of suburban life in the hilarious satire Serial Mom. See Kathleen Turner like never before as Beverly Sutphin, the seemingly perfect homemaker who will stop at nothing to rid the neighborhood of anyone failing to live up to her moral code. Featuring a digitally remastered picture and 5.1 surround sound, Serial Mom is a killer comedy that will take you over the edge with laughter!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, that Patty Hearst). Not for the squeamish or the easily offended, Waters's fans will find him in classic form. --Marshall Fine
