It's a bold choice to devote a solid minute of the running time to the famed "Macbeth" monologue including the line, "a tale told by an idiot full of sound and fury signifying nothing." Bold, and like the rest of the movie, a little too self-aware.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Mother's great feat is that it's a movie that manages to be both exploitative and progressive.
It's high camp, and whoever at the network green-lit it -- assuming, of course, they were in on the joke -- is brilliant.
The movie is much ado about nothing, feeling desperately thin and pointless. At first promising campy fun, it's soon simply mystifying, then misguided, gross and finally tiresome in its look-at-me-ness.
