Journey alongside nice guy, Joe, who moves to the Big Apple from Iowa. This struggling transplant needs to find a low-rent apartment. He finds the home he can afford, but it comes with a catch. Joe shares his New York apartment with thousands of singing, dancing cockroaches that become his best buds. Jerry O'Connell stars in this quirky comedy as Joe. Megan Ward plays Lily Dougherty, Joe's love interest, who must become acquainted with his new friends and support his quest to win over his surly landlord. Offbeat and fun, the movie was based on a short film originally aired on MTV networks. The movie was released in 1996, and later released on DVD in 1999.
