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

One of the cutest movies I've ever seen.

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.

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

'Less is more' is the lesson Hollywood often fails to learn.

A MTV-style creepy coachroach comedy that tries to be too cute for its own good. My kingdom for a can of Raid!
06/03/03
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.

Top CriticSome viewers will still want to reach for the Raid.

Top CriticUnfortunately, 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 CriticJohn 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.

The use of animatronic puppet and live-action cockroaches is wonderfully clever. It's just too bad the rest of Payson's film wasn't as entertaining.
