Another hilarious vision of Suburbia from the sick and twisted mind of our greatest satirist late 20th century America. Here in lies the essence of the serial murderer's need to kill, everyone has lost their good manners. Obese people overeat, some don't brush their teeth, and a woman wears white shoes after Labor Day -- all insufferable crimes. It's enough to make any good Mom want to kill these worthless scum. They deserve it. They broke the rules which the role models of our Moms, Donna Reed and Mrs. Cleaver, taught us to live by.
Kathleen Turner plays the perfect Mom modeled on these 50's TV icons who snaps and starts killing those who will not follow society's rules. Hilarious sendup those 50's TV Moms.
That is what makes great satire -- taking a very recognizable and common human foible just beyond the extremes of reasonableness.
Only thing missing was a cameo by Jack Nicholson playing Eddie Haskel, with his "Here's Johnny" face and voice from the Shining, saying "Well hello Mrs. Cleaver, that's a nice dress you're wearing today."
