It's a very funny movie, perfectly paced. [15 Apr 1994, p.C1]
Serial Mom is the strongest film of the post-midnight-movie chapter of John Waters’s career.
John waters and Kathleen Turner bring out the sicko best in each other in Serial Mom. It’s a killingly funny spoof of crime and nonpunishment that couldn’t have come at a better time for us or them.
Fun, almost endearing in its cheeky irreverence, but also rather mild and scattershot in its satiric marksmanship, Serial Mom provokes chuckles and the occasional raised eyebrow rather than guffaws and gross-outs.
The movie falters because Waters' screenplay is too shallow and brief to provide sufficient underpinning. [15 Apr 1994, p.3D]
The gags are quick and barbed, but the wire seems blunted by the essentially one-note gag storyline.
