    This film is based on an innovative short film made for MTV about a guy living in a horrible downtown apartment filled with scores of mischievous, smart-alecky roaches. The story chronicles the adventures of Joe (Jerry O'Connell), a hapless rube from the rural Midwest who journeys to the wilds of New York City. Mugged repeatedly on his arrival, his luck seems to turn when he finds an affordable apartment in a very dubious neighborhood. Unfortunately, his landlord (Don Ho) is more interested in evicting or, if need be, murdering his tenants, so that the building can be turned into a (highly profitable) penitentiary. Joe finds the allies he needs in his apartment's cockroaches, who sing and dance their way into his heart. This film should be of interest for fans of 1930s musicals; it makes reference to Busby Berkeley's elaborate dance phantasmagorias and the odd water ballets of Esther Williams. Many of the scenes utilized real roaches who were "choreographed" via tiny filament harnesses and other devices. Animal rights activists will be pleased to note that no roaches were intentionally harmed during filming. Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide

    August 16, 2009: Joe's Apartment

    This is a hilarious romantic comedy about A young guy named Joe who moves from the Midwest to a crudy roach infested apartment in New York City. He actually doesn't mind the roaches, and they love him, while he loves an unattainable beauty. It's fun!

    Fantastic film of the late 1990sby WASP1984

    January 18, 2009: Joe's Apartment is without a doubt a great movie to watch over and over again. The film is about a guy name Joe who moves to New York from Iowa. When he finally arrives into NY he is mugged a couple of times in a humerous way. After all ends horribly worst at the bus station Joe ends up meeting a guy named "Walter Sh*t" who is the lead guitarist of a band called "SH*T". And of course the band really is "SH*T!" but not in a good way.

    Joe gets his first apartment after an old lady crokes over and die. Once he takes her apartment he is instantly greeted by two bald f*cks who decide to give him a really tough time. To sum things up the film is about a guy who ends up in an apartment full of cockroaches, he eventually falls in love with a flower girl name Lily that wants to save the run down part of NYC.

    I highly reccommend this movie to anyone who wants a good laugh. I give it a 4 out of 5.
