It's nicely realised, by human and roach alike, and something of a landmark in cinematic grossness.

Reviews for Joe's Apartment
If it were even half as clever as the promotional web site -- which features such inventions as ROL, a parody of online service AOL -- it would be a small delight. But it's not.

Unfortunately, nothing that any of the humans contribute to Joe's Apartment is nearly as interesting as the musical numbers and comedy riffs of the cockroaches.

Top CriticVery puerile humour and a pretty lame storyline.

A MTV-style creepy coachroach comedy that tries to be too cute for its own good. My kingdom for a can of Raid!

Some viewers will still want to reach for the Raid.

John Payson's Joe's Apartment may well have been a funny MTV short, but stretched to feature length it's got to be the most putrid picture since The Garbage Pail Kids Movie nearly a decade ago.

Top CriticThere are some amusing bits -- but most of the jokes are cheap, easy and tend to fall flat.

[A] harmless no-brainer.
01/01/00
There's not enough story here for something half that length, so we're subjected to numerous pointless and irritating song-and-dance numbers designed to nudge the lame plot towards its conclusion.
