Reviews

Slant Magazine - Eric Henderson
Serial Mom is the strongest film of the post-midnight-movie chapter of John Waters’s career.
70
The New York Times - Caryn James
Mr. Waters, of course, no longer traffics in the truly vulgar, as he did in early films like Pink Flamingos. With Serial Mom he concocts a cute suburban satire, a warmly funny movie that even a mother could love.
60
Variety - Todd McCarthy
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.
60
Washington Post - Rita Kempley
A one-joke comedy written and directed by an older, gentler John Waters, the film gets an enormous boost from Kathleen Turner's puckish portrayal of Beverly Sutphin.
50
TV Guide Magazine - Unnamed
John Waters's film about a suburban mom turned serial killer lacks the bite it would need to be subversive, despite a few moments of vintage Waters tastelessness.
