Product Description
A nice guy has just moved to new york and discovers that he must share his run-down apartment with a couple thousand singing dancing cockroaches. Studio: Warner Home Video Release Date: 02/03/2004 Starring: Jerry Oconnell Don Ho Run time: 80 minutes Rating: Pg13 Director: John Payson

Just what the world needs: an all-musical roach revue. What worked as an MTV short film does not work as a feature-length movie. Intelligent cockroaches with lives of their own may seem outré and amusing on the small screen, but are disgusting and eventually boring when we have to spend 80 long minutes with them. Scruffy Jerry O'Connell is the Iowa farm boy who moves to the Big Apple and rents a filthy, bug-infested flat. Turns out those bugs are his only friends. Also turns out that the animated vermin are a whole lot more interesting than the human cast. This is just silly and gross enough for adolescent boys, or those with adolescent tastes. --Rochelle O'Gorman

 Movie Mania! April 19, 2009
Beaddiva (Raeford, NC)
Joe's apartment is a great movie that describes how desperate people become in New York when it comes to getting places to live. Joe not only gets the apartment but notices it also comes with some special room mates-that sing, dance and talk. The fun begins as Joe's room mates helps him out in this crazy little thing called "life." What turns out to be a disaster for Joe becomes a triumph with life in New York and it's pros and cons. There is love, hope and friendship. You will cheer, sing-a-long, dance and laugh at the adventures of Joe and his little buddies.

This movie is more for the guys. It is disgusting if you ask me. My hubby & 2 sons love it - so there ya go! I've only seen parts of it, but they seem to really enjoy it. I couldn't get over the roaches being EVERYWHERE & acting as humans. EWWWW - gross
 THE MOST DISGUSTING MOVIE EVER MADE!!! December 22, 2008

I HAVE NEVER SEEN SUCH DISGUSTING FILTH IN MY LIFE. This movie is pathetic and made me want to puke. I also did not like the racial overtones and the slant on New York. This movie will thoroughly gross you out. It is not worth the very few laughs.Joe's Apartment is a 1996 musical-serio-comic film starring Jerry O'Connell and Megan Ward and the first film produced by MTV Films. It was based on a short 1992 film first made for MTV (which was used as filler in between commercial breaks), but was also inspired by both the 1987 Japanese film Gokiburi-tachi No Tasogare (known as Twilight of the Cockroaches in the USA) and the American short film "Those Damn Roaches", also made in 1987. The main focus of the story is the fact that unbeknownst to many humans, roaches can talk but prefer not to since humans "smush first and ask questions later". They also sing (as they do many times in the movie) and even have their own public access channel. Actors providing the roaches' voices included Billy West, Jim Turner and Dave Chappelle. The film is also Don Ho's first acting role (as Alberto Bianco).
