Please Don't Eat My Mother is a 1973 comedy horror film that tells the story of a young man named Maron (played by Buck Kartalian) who inherits a house from his late mother. However, he discovers the abode is inhabited by a group of bizarre creatures, including a talking plant named Audrey Jr. who has a taste for human flesh. As Maron tries to adjust to his new surroundings, he must fend off the advances of a horny female neighbor and make sure that his mother's legacy isn't consumed by these hungry creatures.

The film opens with Maron finding out that he has inherited a house from his mother. He leaves his job at a carnival and arrives at the house, which is located in a remote area. As soon as he enters the house, he comes across several strange creatures, including a giant toothbrush, a talking toilet, and a prehistoric fish. However, the most unusual creature he encounters is Audrey Jr., the man-eating plant.

Audrey Jr. is a potted plant that Maron's mother had ordered from a catalog. Little did she know that the plant was carnivorous and had a taste for human flesh. Audrey Jr. has grown to an enormous size and can speak. He demands Maron to feed him, but Maron refuses. Maron's mother had written in her will that the house and all the creatures in it must be taken care of. Maron decides to go along with his mother's wishes and take care of Audrey Jr. and the others.

Maron's life becomes complicated when his promiscuous neighbor Tina (played by Lynn Lundgren) comes to visit him. She has heard about his inheritance and decides to seduce him. However, Maron's focus is on the house and the creatures inside it. Meanwhile, Audrey Jr. continues to demand food, and Maron has to find ways to feed him without killing anyone.

As the film progresses, Maron tries to adapt to the life of taking care of the creatures in the house. He buys stacks of meat to feed Audrey Jr. and other creatures, but he soon realizes that he can't afford to keep buying food for them. Despite the challenges, he is determined to honor his mother's wishes and be a responsible caretaker.

In the climax of the film, Maron's friend and former carnival co-worker, Dwayne (played by Art Hedberg), comes to visit. Dwayne is a magician and decides to use his skills to help Maron out. Dwayne creates a fake hand that can move on its own and feeds it to Audrey Jr., tricking him into thinking he has eaten a human hand.

Despite the bizarre and dark premise, Please Don't Eat My Mother is a light-hearted and entertaining film. The film is a satirical take on the horror and science-fiction genre and blends comedy with horror elements. The film's special effects are commendable, especially for a low-budget film made in the 1970s.

In conclusion, Please Don't Eat My Mother is a unique and quirky film that offers a fun and entertaining viewing experience. The film's mix of comedy and horror elements makes it stand out from other films of its time. The movie is a must-watch for anyone who enjoys B-movie horror films and wants to experience something different.
