A John Waters' black comedy about the perfect suburban mom,
who's also a serial killer.
SEX/NUDITY 5 - Several brief but obvious flashes of a pornographic movie
showing nude, abnormally large breasts, and a number of skin magazines with varying
degrees of female nudity. There is one very noisy and rambunctious sex scene between a
married couple (they are shown under covers). There is also a very long masturbation scene
(also under covers).
VIOLENCE/GORE 7 - There are 7 murders, and all include gore. The murder
weapons include scissors, a fireplace poker, a car, an air conditioner, a telephone
receiver, falling stage lights and a leg of lamb. One victim is set on fire. All of these
scenes are played for comic effect, but they are gruesome nonetheless. Also, several
gross-out scenes, involving a squashed fly, disgusting table manners, and phlegm.
PROFANITY 6 - About a dozen F-words, and an assortment of very profane
insults, scatological and anatomical references. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Masturbation, drug use, voyeurism.
MESSAGE - Picture-perfect suburbs hide dark secrets.
