Basically, this movie belongs to the bugs. All human characters are pure caricatures and many are more revolting than the bugs themselves. Jerry O'Connell is likeable however in the leading human role, doing his best to assure us of his honesty. As his great love, Megan Ward, looks pretty but has a range in her acting that only runs from A to B. This could also be said for a script that is totally inadequate when it is not dealing with cockroaches and sometimes unforgivably obsessed with toilet-humour. The cockroaches, one the other hand, are very funny and got inventive musical numbers along with some funny one-liners. Special effects are effective and the movie moves along at a brisk pace so you never got a chance to be bored or too disgusted. Everything ends on a happy note and the movie as a whole is harmless fun.
