Description:
Fresh off the bus from iowa, Joe (Jerry O'Connell) is just trying to make it in New York, but he's got no job, no girl and no place to live. But life changes for Joe as he finds an apartment, along with 50,000 singing, dancing roach roommates who teach

This is just silly and gross enough for adolescent boys, or those with adolescent tastes. --Rochelle O'Gorman

Rating: - I LOVE the ROACHES in this film!!!!!!!!
The ROACHES are so cute;they dance;they sing;they help the guy get the girl and save the apartment building from the evil,evil developer;they have a kitty-cat rodeo.

I never thought I would ever say that about ROACHES!!!!!
