Henry (Buck Kartalian) is a rather sad human being: Unable to find a
girlfriend of his own he spends most of his time peeping on other couples
doing it - and apparently, couples seem to be doing it almost everywhere,
in the local park, in the neighbour's garden, in pretty much every parking
car, and eventually even in their bedrooms.
One day, Henry walks by a flower shop when a rare flower starts to
speak to him and asks him to take her (it's a she) home. Once home, Henry
realizes his plant has an extraordinary appetite for meat, so he feeds her
flies, then - as she has grown a little - frogs, later cats and dogs ...
and when she has grown to man-size, the plant devours Henry's nagging mom.
At first, Henry is shocked, but soon enough he realizes he is better off
without mom, and consequently he lets the plant eat the cop who has come
looking for mom as well. And as the plant has really taqken a liking to
eating humans, Henry soon starts luring other people to her ...
Eventually though, the plant starts having sexual urges, and even
though Henry is horny as hell, this is something he cannot fulfill - so
it's back to the flowershop to buy a male companion for his plant ...
which means that Henry soon has two plants to feed and not just one - and
they live on a strict diet of human flesh. As a consequence, Henry soon
takes on kidnapping the couples he peeps at after sex, preferably in the
nude (the couples, not him).
Eventually, Henry peeps on neighbour Harry (Ric Lutze) and his wife
(Rene Bond) having a marital dispute - which ends in Harry being shot by
his own wife - upon which Henry offers the girl to help her let the body
disappear. After the plants have eaten up the body, the girl wants to show
her gratitude by offering him a ride - which would be Henry's first
time - but unfortunately, she gets too close to the plants and ...
yummy.
Henry is enraged and wants to kill the plants ... but when he sees that
they have just produced offspring he is overcome by paternal feelings -
and soon gives the little plants away for everyone to own ...
Please Don't Eat My Mother is in fact (as you might have already
guessed from my synopsis) a scarcely disguised rip-off of Little
Shop of Horrors, but with a healthy portion of sex that only just
steers clear of hardcore added to the mix. Problem is, taking the basic
premise of the film, there really is no need for sex scenes, actually the
narrative of the film and the many scenes of copulation do not go well
together at all. Add to this an unfunny lead actor (this is supposed to be
a comedy), a script that tries way too hard to be hilarious to really make
you laugh and a very indifferent direction and you have got a failure on
your hand.
Not really worth your time or money.
