Good shorts don't make good features...June 03, 2003
A MTV-style creepy coachroach comedy that tries to be too cute for its own good. My kingdom for a can of Raid!May 15, 2003
'Less is more' is the lesson Hollywood often fails to learn.May 12, 2008
If it were even half as clever as the promotional web site -- which features such inventions as ROL, a parody of online service AOL -- it would be a small delight. But it's not.January 01, 2000
So much up-to- the-minute technology hasn't been used for so disastrous a product since the Hindenburg.May 12, 2008
It's nicely realised, by human and roach alike, and something of a landmark in cinematic grossness.January 01, 2000
The insects have obnoxious, piping little voices and sound like the Chipmunks had inhaled helium.May 20, 2003
Some viewers will still want to reach for the Raid.July 19, 2006
Very puerile humour and a pretty lame storyline.February 14, 2001
John Payson's Joe's Apartment may well have been a funny MTV short, but stretched to feature length it's got to be the most putrid picture since The Garbage Pail Kids Movie nearly a decade ago.January 01, 2000
There'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.May 12, 2008
Unfortunately, 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.
