Serial Mom has long been one of my favourite movies. John Waters once again demonstrates his unfailing ability to tap into our fear of the gross and disgusting, and, perversely, help us to face our fears - we may know someone who picks his nose, but Waters gives us an obnoxious woman who lets her dog lick her feet clean after a shopping trip. Maybe your mother caught you jacking off when you were younger, but Waters brings a whole new dimension of toe-curling embarrassment to the scenario in the brilliant sequence where Scotty 'enjoys' (ahem!) a Chesty Morgan video. Waters also throws in close-ups of people eating noisily, a dentist's drill in action, a messy impaling (made hilarious by Kathleen Turner's flawless performance), an ankle-nibbling rat, signed photographs of Charles Manson and Richard Speck, respectable middle-class housewives swearing like construction workers, an all-female rock band called Camel Lips and a Pee-Wee Herman doll - "still in the box"! All this would mean nothing if the film wasn't incredibly funny, and thankfully, it is. In fact, it's one of the most subversive and inventive comedies ever to come out of a mainstream studio, and you'll be quoting the dialogue for weeks to come. And in case you think it's improper to laugh at serial killers, consider this - how often have you wanted to blow away an irritating gum chewer, a teacher who gave you bad grades, a careless driver, whoever stole your last boy or girlfriend, or pretty much anyone who got on your nerves? Serial Mom is the perfect escape valve for all those negative emotions, and is the perfect film to unwind with at the end of a stressful day.

"Are those PUSSYwillows?"

    你在聽到別人背后抵毀你聲譽(yù)時，你在被別人當(dāng)眾羞辱時，你在被老板無緣無故的臭罵時，你會不會產(chǎn)生潛在的殺人沖動。當(dāng)然，最后理智的你，都是很好地控制住了情緒，你不會因?yàn)檫@些事而干出更出格的事的。
  但是，在影片中，這位“慈母”絕對火爆，你那怕一言一行傷害到她的家人，那么她就必須要你去見上帝。在一連串漏洞百出、目擊者無數(shù)、讓知名偵探不以為然的謀殺案發(fā)生后，這位更年期的慈母又搖身一變成為律政俏佳人，舌戰(zhàn)法庭，她的一專多能讓人汗顏，徐娘半老的風(fēng)騷讓人心馳神搖。當(dāng)一切兒戲般即將解決時，慈母又出了升級版，竟然維穩(wěn)擴(kuò)大化，以一雙白色高跟鞋引發(fā)的血案，為后來的饅頭血案敲響了前奏。
   這怎么能算是喜劇、驚悚片呢，難道就因?yàn)闅⑷朔绞降幕映鲂聠?？我覺得這應(yīng)該是完全意義上的心理恐怖片，在人人心理失衡的今天，我們身邊有沒有這樣潛在的慈母呢，她（他）會不會為了因?yàn)榭床粦T你腳上的一雙白鞋子而伸出屠刀呢，我不知道，你知道嗎？
