Watch Joe's Apartment For Free

good back-story, and good acting

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

The acting in this movie is really good.

Very funny and smart dark comedy. Ignore the ridiculous awful bad rating inexplicably given by IMDb users. Unless you have a dire katsaridaphobia (uncontrollable fear of cockroaches), watch this movie. You will laugh a lot. Jerry O'Connell plays Joe, a guy from Iowa who cannot find a cheap apartment to rent in New York city because of real estate speculation. When he finally succeeds, in the most violent NY neighborhood, he finds out that he lives with Rodney, Ralph... and other dozens of thousands of roaches. They love to live with Joe because he is not the cleanest guy in town, to say the least. There are many musical scenes, yucky scenes, and yucky musical scenes. Anyway, problems related to coexistence and conflicts of interest will arrive, especially after Joe knows his love interest. Bugs are not something particularly romantic, you know... Though, that unconventional friendship among species will prevail. In conclusion, I'd like to tell Brazilian fellows: "Este filme é o maior barato!" ("This film is very nice!"; "barato" is an old-fashioned slang that means "nice", but "barata" means "cockroach" in Portuguese).

This movie was a different one. But in every way possible was entertaining. I would give this a 6/10 at the least because it was a very different kind of story, but the acting for some characters could have been better, in my opinion. This is a great film for a more mature audiences simply because of its sexual humor and harsh language, which there is a lot of. But none the less, this was a fantastic movie, with a bunch of slap-stick humor, so anyone who loves this kind of humor should definitely watch. Also if your going to watch this film, be ready for some weird scenes and musical parts, because that is kind of what this movie is mostly put of. But overall, if your in the mood for a great slap-stick humor film, go watch Joe's Apartment.

This movie tries very hard to be strange and "zany" (the word used by boring people to describe mundane, outmoded comedy that they have just been introduced to but the rest of the world has become jaded to many years previously). This is an old, crusty splatter of teenage, cartoon ejaculation dried and forgotten on a dirty bed sheet badly in need of a washing. In other words... who cares? Not me. If you care about this film, I suggest you beat yourself in the head with your "Saved by the Bell" VHS collection until puberty sets in. Endless annoying Chipmunk songs sung by a chorus of poorly made cockroach puppets doing idiotic choreography is not entertainment. In fact, it's not even "Meet the Feebles" which is a masterpiece of cinema in comparison. This movie tries SO hard to be weird that it's painful. Oh, the pain. MY EYES!

I never thought I'd be praising a film for it's cockroaches but what can I say these little guys have style and some serious musical talent. The musical bits in this film are really original and alone would make this movie worth seeing and no its not just because they feature cockroaches.Aside from the vermin the visuals in this movie are great and almost have a cartoonish comic book element to them. It's kind of a shame that director John Payson hasn't had a chance to make other films since he seems to have a certain flare. The plot is rather thin its your basic boy meets girl boy tries to get girl story but others films have done worse job with the same material. Aside from the aforementioned cockroaches music wise you have to give the film credit. It has Moby long before he broke out with his album 'Play' and for a brief second you get to see what he looks look with hair ....well some hair. This film has a sense of humor and style that makes the idea that anybody thought it could be a mainstream hit kind of laughable. This is a certain film for an audience with a certain sensibility and is definitely not for everyone. If singing cockroaches don't sound like your thing then chances are you won't enjoy this film and the rather charming and talented vermin that star in it. However if your sense of humor is a little off Joe's Apartment is well worth checking out.
