Her delivery of every line is incredible she finds the joke and sells it expertly. Watching her go from pure elation after one of the films more memorable murders (you will NEVER listen to “Tomorrow” from Annie the same way again) to evil irritation at seeing a witness she now has to chase down while wearing her Sunday best is the kind of comedic perfection that you can’t teach. The amount of control that Kathleen has over her expressions is incredible and it sells every single joke. Kathleen Turner easily delivers one of the best performances of her career, filling Beverly with an almost manic cheeriness that changes to a murderous glare with just the raising of an eyebrow.

It’s a sharp skewering of a genre that was still growing the lack of understanding of just what was being parodied at the time may help explain why it was such a bomb at the box office and with critics. Serial Mom would honestly be my second favourite film of his, certainly the best of his mainstream fare.
I’ve made no secret that John Waters is my favourite film director, his comedic aesthetic is unlike anyone else’s and I’ve yet to see a film of his I didn’t immediately enjoy. Can Beverly get away with herĬrimes or will Serial Mom soon be the mother hen of a cell block? Terrifying murder sprees in Baltimore history, murdering people for the capitalĬrimes of rudeness and general thoughtlessness. Mother is not that easy and eventually, the little things that have beenīugging Beverly for a while get to her and she begins one of the most Of course, being the perfect housewife and She lives a good life, so sweet thatĭoris Day would find her to be overly cheery with her dislike of gum andĬonstant need to pointedly recycle, as though sorting the plastic from the Horror-obsessed son Chip (Matthew Lillard). She has a wonderful family, her dentist husbandĮugene (Sam Waterston), her boy-crazy daughter Misty (Ricki Lake) and her Beverly Sutphin (Kathleen Turner) is yourĪverage Baltimore mother.
