Early next year, "Serial Mom," her third movie with Mr. Waters, is due out.

Then there's "Serial Mom," the only other new grown-up movie playing at my Cineplex.

If anything, "Serial Mom" aims to brand old-fashioned mothers, not homicidal ones, as the real freaks in 1994.

Serial Mom got mixed reviews, though it has become a cult classic over the years.

But having played the part, she added, "I'm in love with 'Serial Mom.'

Pulses aren't likely to race any faster on closing night, when John Waters's "Serial Mom" is shown out of competition.

In "Serial Mom" he takes to heart the idea that being the All-American mother is enough to drive a woman crazy.

With "Serial Mom" he concocts a cute suburban satire, a warmly funny movie that even a mother could love.

Like all Waters films, "Serial Mom" is uneven and often predictable.
