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.

The incidents are often outrageously irreverent. The comedy is fast and furious, both sophisticated and sophomoric.

The film is a marvelous whirl of color and visual effects, with some fine animation and Zappa's delicious wit present throughout the entire production.

Zappa's most ambitious compositions (performed by the London Philharmonic) share screen time with nostalgic freak humor.
