this film would not be to everyone liking and but be certainly an all time favorite of mine . only a film like this can combine so many great element into one entertaining movie . kathleen turner be just purely brilliant a sweet mother beverly sutphin and who would look more at home in a show like bewitch . however and we soon learn that she not all that she seem . i love any movie that take a classic element ( in this case the innocent housewife ) and completely turn it on it head . and so the film lead u on a journey through beverly sutphin life and motivation . the film grab on and and doesn not let go and keep the pace until the very last scene . in bad taste . well and yes . sick humor . quite often . good . oh yes . if you have a dark sense of humor and do not miss it for the world .
