the above be just one of many great line offer up by the cast of serial mom . the sutphins seem to be the picture of a normal 50 esque family dad ( sam waterston ) be a dentist while mom ( a fantastic kathleen turner ) be a grand house wife homage to donna reed and june cleaver and such while daughter ( rikki lake ) and son ( matthey lillard ) seem to be your average teen with a perfect family life . or be it . base upon actual real life event and john water manages to bring u another great film and this time he take dead aim on the celebrity we make of murderer and criminal . i be sure that many of u have go through our life and be annoy by this person or that object and we have never do anything about it . not betty sutphin . when this suburban mom go off she go off . from minor annoyance ( white shoe after labor day . ) to major anger management issue and betty take matter into her own hand by go on a killing spree take 6 victim to an early grave . sure and in typical water way and it a bit over the top and corny and but the film be great . some of the humor be very low brow in bad taste and but and a water mention in interview bad taste can be good taste . i give this a 9 a greatly enjoyable film .
