ferryboy I absolutely detest roaches. Effing can't stand them, which is why the movie is a success. Making what I think to be one of the most disgusting creatures on Earth to be endearing, lovable characters was a huge stretch, but it was the most successful aspect of the movie.The story is simple, and oftentimes can be dull, but the occasional insect song and dance routine, along with several apartment-sized battles between roach and human that stay consistently silly, it's easy to look past the tired love story.A wholly original, fun movie, anyone willing to let loose and laugh at some three stooges- esquire comedy will most likely enjoy the slapstick and excrement-related humor.Chances are that you can buy this movie for less than five dollars on DVD at this point, so if you happen to pass it, pick it up. What do you have to lose?

annie1962 I wonder why it got criticized because to me the worth of a movie is how you react to it.I first saw it on video in 1996 and I can tell you that we had to watch the intro three times because we were laughing so damn hard.Even the 'mother' of the house was constantly telling us to shooooshhhh because we laughed so loud.Never has a movie had me laughing so loud.Now 11 yrs later, my 5 yr and 6 yr old boys watch it and get a huge laugh out of it. They love to see the roaches singing and dancing..So if anyone cans it, they can go to buggery because we all get a lot of laughs and entertainment out of it.

sleeping-in-an-orange This movie was on TV one day and I was bored, and tired so I just watched about 10 minutes of it. I was DISGUSTED. The bugs living with him creep me out, the disgusting-ness of his apartment. It's too hard to watch. I didn't finish it. I kinda felt like crying the whole time I was watching. It might just be the fact that I'm not a bug person and the whole idea just grossed me out, but who in their right mind who like a movie like this? I don't even know why they would put it on T.V! The only thing that was slightly enjoy-able was the voices of the roaches. It made me laugh, but seriously! I shudder thinking about it! This movie haunts me. I swear to god. Don't see it.

TBJCSKCNRRQTreviews ... of course, that might also mean you need extensive therapy. At least if you're over the age of seven. This film is an odd one. It's about a guy who moves into an apartment dominated by thousands upon thousands of cockroaches. I checked the director's entire filmography, and it seems like everything he does involves cockroaches... no, revolves around them. I'm guessing he's either fascinated by them or infatuated with them. I'm not sure which I find more disturbing. I wager he's got some counseling in his future... or maybe he's just a very large child, passing for an adult. That is the only group of people this... 'film' could possibly appeal to. The plot is stupid and completely predictable, not to mention formulaic in every sense of the word. Absolutely no originality whatsoever. The pacing is surprisingly poor, for such a short film. The acting is sub-par. The writing is horrid. The songs sung by the cockroaches... don't get me started. The rest of the soundtrack just seems out of place. I know this was produced by MTV, but even for them, this is a new low. But apart from every negative I've written in this review, I must admit that I followed this film from the very beginning pretty much to the very end... something I rarely do anymore, except for when I'm at the cinema. Despite how much I hated it, I never took my eyes off it. Of course, this was probably just because this was aired during a violent lightning storm, and I was afraid if I turned on my computer before it was over, it might attract a bolt of lightning. Of course, if you need to believe otherwise... then go right ahead. I recommend this to children and people who enjoy childish humor. To give a quick example of said "humor"; one scene has the main character running around town, collecting feces from various animals. Yes, seriously. The film is incredibly poorly done, and very amateurish in just about every aspect, but I suppose the kids won't mind. Personally, I'd choose a cartoon over this any day... but different strokes for different blokes. 1/10
