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

 Quick review April 30, 2009
S. De-ramon (London)
The funniest movie ever.
Also packed with lost of extras.
Worthwhile getting it specially if you're a fan of John Waters.
 Dark Humor April 23, 2009
Craig Connell (Lockport, NY USA)
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.

Pleases All John Waters Fans September 9, 2008

This film manages to please the Waters fans that are more inclined toward the Hairspray/Cry Baby films as well as those brought up on Pink Flamingos. Kathleen Turner chews the scenery beautifully and the story is hilarious and ahead of it's time (predated O.J and many other celebrity trials in the real world that make this movie more relevant today than it was when it was released).
A great film! This particular edition is absolutely worth the upgrade as well if you have the old one with no special features!
