The story, interspersed with performances by the Mothers and the Royal Symphony Orchestra, is a tale of life on the road.

Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
200 Motels has no particular focal point, being principally an anthology of poor jokes and spectacular audio-visual effects, a few of which might expand the mind, but all of which, taken together, are like an overdose of Novocain.

fresh:
