Not A Comedy`

I kinda agree.
It was supposed to be a black comedy, but missed the mark.
Turner's character was too unreasonably vicious and unhinged, making it harrowing to watch, and even a 'black comedy' needs more than a couple of wise cracks. Short on comedy, top-heavy on blackness.
The only amusing thing was when the mother gave her children sweets, philosophising that they won't crave them later in life then the kids grew up fat.
This movie appealed to disillusioned housewives. There are many, I guess.

It's a real comedy for the second half of the movie. Up until then I was thinking the same thing. But really MOST comedies are terrible, so this was great in my opinion.

It's kind of a smarmy sarcastic dark comedy. It makes it kind of difficult to watch while figuring all of that out. But the Kathleen Turner gesture at the end definitely marks it as a dark comedy.
