Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Just what the world needs: an all-musical roach revue. What worked as an MTV short film does not work as a feature-length movie. Intelligent cockroaches with lives of their own may seem outré and amusing on the small screen, but are disgusting and eventually boring when we have to spend 80 long minutes with them. Scruffy Jerry O'Connell is the Iowa farm boy who moves to the Big Apple and rents a filthy, bug-infested flat. Turns out those bugs are his only friends. Also turns out that the animated vermin are a whole lot more interesting than the human cast. This is just silly and gross enough for adolescent boys, or those with adolescent tastes. --Rochelle O'Gorman

Synopsis
An off-beat tale which tells the story of a New York City boy who discovers new friends in his apartment; an army of cockroaches.

5.0 out of 5 stars Inspired viewing for those with - well - original tastes!!, 25 Jun 2001
By A Customer
Watching the Sky Movie channel a while back I came upon this little gem! Those all-singing all dancing cockroaches are just hilarious and Jerry O'Connell - very easy on the eye!!! I totally recommend watching this film, as it will change you perspective on life as you see it forever!! VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars i dare you not to laugh, 24 Mar 2005
By G. L. Read - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
You'll think Joe's apartment is at first like every other boy sets out in the big city movie you have ever seen...but after a swift mugging and finding the only "BUG INFESTED" apartment he can afford you begin to realise you have found a little gem..i watched this movie when it first came out and my sides ached watching it.worth getting if only for the Roaches..... i just cant understand why it isn't available in DVD region 2

5.0 out of 5 stars Original and light hearted, 17 May 2000
By A Customer
"Joe's apartment" is truly an original tale of a young man (Jerry O'connell) and his affection for a young woman (Megan Ward). The original part? he is helped out by singing, dancing cockroaches who do their best to help him win her over. It has to be seen to be believed!

5.0 out of 5 stars I caught this by chance and nearly wet myself laughing
As I said in the one line summary - I watched this film by chance one day on Sky, and it is absolutely *hilarious* - some subtle (and not so subtle!) humour in there. Read more
