Totally devoted to Joe, his 50,000 hip new roommates' single-minded mission is to help him--whether he wants it or not--as Joe learns about sex, bugs and rock 'n' roll.Based on the MTV short film Joe's Apartment created by John Payson.

Critics Consensus: Audiences will want their security deposit back from Joe's Apartment, a lame comedy whose dancing cockroaches are more charming than the human characters.

Reviews

Elements of Madness

Douglas Davidson

The musical comedy (or comedy with a few select songs) would burn into this reviewer’s brain to the point that a squeaky faucet lever or a rancid towel will immediately prompt me to burst into song.

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

Variety

Joe Leydon

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.

Empire Magazine

Nick De Semlyen

Very puerile humour and a pretty lame storyline.
