Let's be really edgy! Make a housewife a serial killer! Call it a "dark" comedy! Call it anything: it's still junk.
Kathleen Turner is completely miscast against type as a nut job who kills people if they don't adhere to some Martha Stewart type lifestyle. What? Who is this based on? Why is it presented as comedy? A lame attempt at shock value but not funny. Sam Waterston as her husband, Rikki Lake as her daughter, and Matthew Lillard as her son. What a waste of talent; all these actors have done so much better. All they get to do in this disaster is act paranoid knowing that they could be next.
Idiotic scene with some guy exciting himself and dozens of people walk in on him. Not even humor at a sophomoric level. The serial mom gets ticked about somebody wearing white shoes after Labor Day. Such intensely cerebral humor. Look for Patty Hearst caught up in this; apparently, the producers of this rubbish thought an infamous name such as that might add "edginess." It didn't.
One might think this dreck could be laughed at in a drinking party. It doesn't even come close to being funny enough for that.
