Very good satirical horror comedy

I saw Monday at MotelXVery good satirical horror comedy with plenty of black humor, from the disruptor, unsubmissive and transgressor master John Waters.It satirizes society's fascination with serial killers as well as inconsistencies in society's moral values.Great interpretation by Kathleen Turner, in this fun comedy where even the well-known rock band L7 (here as Camel Lips) is like a fish in water and contributes to chaos...I strongly recommend.

Beverly Sutphin is not to be trifled with

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!Only one filmmaker seemed designated to shot this highly entertaining black comedy: John Waters, the king of bad taste and extravagance. In "Serial Mom", most of the comical situations are structured about the two quoted characteristics. The whole is condensed in one hour and a half. You don't get bored one moment and you honestly laugh in front of all these murders. In "Serial Mom", you also recognize Waters' 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.All in all, a delightfully politically incorrect comedy led by a Kathleen Turner on top form.
