Worse Than Springtime For Hitler

Rating: 1/10 (17 September 2017)

THIS is the writing, directing and acting that would have helped Max Bialystock and Leo Bloom fulfill their original plan. An entire film of blatant metaphor meant to feed the writer/director's ego along with 2 hours of his girlfriend grimacing and suffering from indigestion... and I used to think that Jennifer Lawrence was a decent actress. The film might have been salvageable through Michelle Pfeiffer and Ed Harris playing Adam and Eve, since their acting was fantastic despite the poor writing. It was even salvageable after the writer insulted the audience when he included 'Adam' missing a rib, one of their sons murdering the other one, Eve's alcoholic fruit drink and then all of them getting banished from Mother's "Paradise"... all so the author could be sure that the audience got the boring biblical reference.
Beyond that it was just a writer portraying himself as a 'god' which destroys everything in its life, and ridiculous characters on a bath salts trip... excruciating writing and imagery, full of over-the-top representations. The baby getting its head snapped and then eaten was the height of absurdity. Too much nonsense, and barely any good writing or original plot.
In the theater, the audience burst into laughter when the film ended and everyone was saying that Mother! was the worst film they have ever seen. I kept hoping the film would get better, but it just kept getting worse. I burst into laughter too at the end. It's really that bad.
