Joe's Apartment is a 1996 comedy starring Jerry O'Connell, Meg Ward and Don Ho, and featuring the voices of Dave Chappelle and Billy West. About a guy who moves to New York and poses as a deceased lady's son to get her rent-controlled apartment. What he doesn't know is that the apartment is infested with hundreds of talking, singing cockroaches.
Here's one scene out of the flick:

Question:
If anyone has seen it, would you place it in the bad or good movie section?
I love it and was tempted to put it in the "Good" section.
haha i actually picked this up on VHS for a buck the other day. Definetly a bad movie IMO.
I remember this; it was originally a skit on Empty-V's Liquid television that they expanded into a full length feature film. If I remember correctly, the skit was also a scene in the movie where Joe gets a girl up to his apartment but the roaches fall out of the light fixtures onto her or something like that. That's about all I really remember from the film.
Yeah, the scene where the roaches fall down her shirt in the movie is right after the Funky Towel scene I posted.
I found it hysterical.
I think this film is awesome, but I can see why some wouldn't like it. It is fun, which is the main thing when watching movies that are obviously not meant to be taken seriously.
I haven't seen this movie in years but remember being aq bit disappointed in it.
The roaches were more annoying than entertaining.
I did like how Joe is from Iowa, though.
(that's where I'm from!) :smile:
I like the fact that Joe steps off the bus in New York, fresh from Iowa, looks up, and immediately gets assaulted.
I like to think of it as a horrible remake of Twilight of the Cockroaches http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0093101/ (http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0093101/)
