Critics consensus

“Kathleen Turner proves an ideal match for John Waters' suburban satire in Serial Mom , even if the somewhat scattershot end results often lack the expected bite.”

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.

Rather mild and scattershot in its satiric marksmanship...

A loose remake of Female Trouble with Polyester's subversively accessible polish, Serial Mom is the strongest film of the post-midnight-movie chapter of John Waters's career.

Waters may be playing it safe in the studio system, but Serial Mom, thankfully, doesn't skimp on the auteur's affinity for the weird outcast.
