Page 00015 The New York Times Archives If you're going to build a career on bad taste, sooner or later you'll have to tackle the most sacred icon of all, motherhood. John Waters is just the man to do it, for he sends up only what he deeply adores. In 'Serial Mom' he takes to heart the idea that being the All-American mother is enough to drive a woman crazy. What could be more sympathetic? Kathleen Turner leaps into the most delicious role she has had in years as Beverly Sutphin. She is a Baltimore housewife with perfectly bobbed hair, a sparkling clean kitchen, a dentist husband (Sam Waterston) and two teen-age children with names that seem lifted from 'Ozzie and Harriet': Chip and Misty.

But the strain of being a perfect mom is showing, for Beverly has developed a tendency to murder anyone who gets on her nerves. How dare a teacher suggest that Chip (Matthew Lillard) may need therapy? Sevanthi poo malai kattu thedi vantha song download.

Beverly responds with normal disbelief, then finds the teacher in the parking lot and runs him down with her car. When Misty (Ricki Lake) is stood up by a handsome date, she will regret crying to her mother, 'I wish he were dead.' Waters, of course, no longer traffics in the truly vulgar, as he did in early films like 'Pink Flamingos' (notorious for its canine scatology). With his recent lighthearted films of 50's and 60's adolescence, 'Hair spray' and 'Crybaby,' he entered the mainstream, where his sense of the tacky fit right in. With 'Serial Mom' he concocts a cute suburban satire, a warmly funny movie that even a mother could love. Advertisement The movie is milder than its premise makes it sound.

Although the story is set in the present, Beverly seems stuck in one of Mr. Waters's favorite twilight zones: 50's sitcoms that shaped a generation of dysfunctional families. A detective who questions the Sutphins even points out how remarkably Beverly brings to mind June Cleaver, though he misses a crucial clue about the obscene note sent to their whiny neighbor, Dottie Hinkle (Mink Stole).

The note is signed with a smiley face. As soon as the detectives and her loving family are out the door, Beverly displays girlish delight at muttering dirty words in an anonymous prank call to Dottie. Beverly is the kind of matron who would profess to be disgusted by a John Waters movie while secretly relishing every cathartic moment. Like all Waters films, 'Serial Mom' is uneven and often predictable. When the police close in on Beverly while she is riding to church with the whole family, she wonders, 'Do you think I need to call a lawyer?' The astute Chip answers, 'You need an agent.'

Suzanne Somers, in a cameo role, suddenly wants to make a mini-series of Beverly's life. The media frenzy about the latest mega-star killer is too close to reality to work as satire. Waters's tame approach, there are still some disgusting moments in 'Serial Mom,' including a close-up of what looks like a human liver skewered on a fireplace poker.

He hasn't, after all, lost his sense of values. Who would you rather be? He seems to ask. The famous serial mom or the neighbor who, when a favorite ceramic egg has been broken, wails: 'It's Franklin Mint! I collect Franklin Mint!' One victim rents a video of 'Annie,' settles into her easy chair and starts singing along with 'Tomorrow.'
