Title: Another John Waters classic!
Review: A deliciously dark comedy from John Waters who also directed other great films such as Cry Baby (1990) and Hairspray (1988). The crazy plot is centered around a surburban housewife, Beverley Surphin (marvelously played by Kathleen Turner), who lives with her husband (Sam Waterston) and her two fine teenage kids (including Ricki Lake) in a beautiful Baltimore home. However if anybody annoys her, even for the most trivial of matters, she kills them. Such hilariously over the top incidents include her childs tutor telling her that her son is not as academically clever as other students - for this she runs him over. An arrogant middle aged woman that is always continually rude to her son at his workplace in a video shop -for this she again kills her. Sounds absolutley preposterous to read about but this crazy black comedy actually is very funny throughout, thanks to a fast and furious dialogue and an excellent performance from Kathleen Turner. Recommended!
