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.

The insects have obnoxious, piping little voices and sound like the Chipmunks had inhaled helium.

It's nicely realised, by human and roach alike, and something of a landmark in cinematic grossness.

A MTV-style creepy coachroach comedy that tries to be too cute for its own good. My kingdom for a can of Raid!

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.
