Editorial Review:
Amazon.com essential video:
Director John Waters creates here a wickedly funny--and nasty--comedy starring Kathleen Turner as the ultimate suburbanite: a woman so obsessed with suburban perfection that she kills a neighbor for not separating her recyclables. Hubby Sam Waterston and kids Matthew Lillard and Ricki Lake don't have a clue that in fact it is squeaky-clean mom who is the killer at large in their Baltimore neighborhood and who has murdered, among others, the guy who dumped her daughter. The final courtroom scene is a riot, turning her into a celebrity defendant (long before O.J.) and featuring a terrific cameo by Patty Hearst (yes, that Patty Hearst). Not for the squeamish or the easily offended, Waters's fans will find him in classic form. --Marshall Fine

Rating:  - awesome!
this is one of the funniest movies ever. in fact i am going to watch it again right now.
John Waters is a genius!
Rating:  - Pleases All John Waters Fans
This film manages to please the Waters fans that are more inclined toward the Hairspray/Cry Baby films as well as those brought up on Pink Flamingos. Kathleen Turner chews the scenery beautifully and the story is hilarious and ahead of it's time (predated O.J and many other celebrity trials in the real world that make this movie more relevant today than it was when it was released).
A great film! This particular edition is absolutely worth the upgrade as well if you have the old one ... Read More
