| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliThere'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. |
| USA TodayAndy SeilerSo much up-to- the-minute technology hasn't been used for so disastrous a product since the Hindenburg. |
| Deseret News (Salt Lake City)Chris HicksThere are some amusing bits -- but most of the jokes are cheap, easy and tend to fall flat. |
| Film4Daniel EtheringtonIt's nicely realised, by human and roach alike, and something of a landmark in cinematic grossness. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThe insects have obnoxious, piping little voices and sound like the Chipmunks had inhaled helium. |
| VarietyJoe LeydonUnfortunately, 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. |
| User ReviewMichel PHey Joe!!?!Singing Coackroaches gotta love them!! |
| User ReviewPeter Ai love that movie it was so funny but a bit gross too because of the cockroches |
| User ReviewERIC DANOTHER ONE OF MY MANY FAVORITE MOVIES, I THINK ITS HILARIOUS. |
| User Reviewamanda bI'm sorry but If I had this many cockroaches I wouldn't be bringing anyone home. Not to mention that they sing....lol. I just thought it too cute. |
