Serial Mom | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

This was a chore to get through. It was painfully unfunny and at times incredibly gross.

The murderous pursuits are filmed in full horror suspense, yet debates on whether the Mrs. needs a lawyer or an agent and selling t-shirts at the courthouse invoke a bemusing sensationalism.

The results are sharply funny, wonderfully snarky, and a better satire of our true crime obsession than most anything this century—it remains a prescient, properly fun film without compare. It's worth seeing for how titanically good Turner is alone.

Nevertheless, there’s an undeniable pleasure in finding a comic imagination based so exclusively on personal quirks and predilections, even when it’s less than wholly adept in telling a story.
