Title: Not as good as these reviews suggest
Review: Although it held together (sort of), I did not find many of the scenes in this movie funny. I could not understand all the rave reviews - basically, it's largely unfunny. This movie gives a feeling of tension throughout - I wondered while watching it if "Serial Mom" Kathleen Turner was actually playing the part of a gay man in a woman's body. Who else would care if someone wore white after Labor Day? Siskell and Ebert gave this one a minimal number of stars, and for good reason. Watch it together with a Margaret Cho video if you want to be totally bored out of your mind with bad humor and edgy neurosis.
Is the review positive or negative?
