Serial Mom – Warum läßt Mama das Morden nicht? (1994)

Serial Mom – Warum läßt Mama das Morden nicht?: Directed by John Waters. With Kathleen Turner, Sam Waterston, Ricki Lake, Matthew Lillard. She’s the perfect all-American parent: a great cook and homemaker, a devoted recycler, and a woman who’ll literally kill to keep her children happy.

“Imagine this: the main character is a woman called Beverly Sutphin. Her husband is a dentist and she does her best to bring up her children. In short, she is a respectable human being with the particularity of being a real stickler for good manners . Maybe, a little too respectable so that when someone speaks ill of one member of her family, Beverly is ready to kill to defend her family!u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eOnly one filmmaker seemed designated to shot this highly entertaining black comedy: John Waters, the king of bad taste and extravagance. In u0026quot;Serial Momu0026quot;, most of the comical situations are structured about the two quoted characteristics. The whole is condensed in one hour and a half. You donu0026#39;t get bored one moment and you honestly laugh in front of all these murders. In u0026quot;Serial Momu0026quot;, you also recognize Watersu0026#39; strong taste for bloody, gore and horror movies. Moreover, for this extraordinary director, it is the occasion to harm the model image of the American family.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAll in all, a delightfully politically incorrect comedy led by a Kathleen Turner on top form.”
