SERIAL MOM – 1994
Directed by John Waters
Rated R
This is an awesome dark comedy about practicing good manners or ending up dead for not! Kathleen Turner plays the mom of a “perfect” suburban family. She lives the American dream: 2 kids, nice cozy house, with a picket fence and a loving husband. While she may be the perfect mother and wife with the best manners in town, there is a darker side to her. When her daughter (played by Ricki Lake) gets a boyfriend, her manner radar goes sky high and people start ending up dead. Keep in mind that this is a John Waters movie. Some, or most, to be honest, are over the top and bizarro, but quite amusing. Never wear white shoes on Labor Day or Kathleen Turner might come after you.
