Joe's Apartment
“Sex, Bugs, and Rock 'n Roll.”
Certified Crap. CrapScore 60, rated by 1 admin.
Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.
A newcomer to New York discovers that his filthy apartment comes with thousands of singing, dancing cockroaches. The deliberately gross premise gains energy from lively creature effects and a cartoonishly hostile city. A compact musical oddity for anyone willing to share the room with the chorus.
