Audience Reviews for Bug Buster

Jun 23, 2008

Pretty bad even where bad is concerned. Before Grey's Anatomy and before Knocked Up Katherine Heigl gave us Bug Buster. Poor performances from what should be an alright cast blur the lines between over the top comic relief and just crude acting. Awful special effects and an unstoppable referencing of other films Jaws and Outbreak are mentioned by name this film is lucky it is hilariously bad but also the comedy moments are so bad they are positively excellent. The news station being called FU2 television is cringe worthy chucklesome.
