Joe's Apartment

Joe's Apartment is a 1996 American musical black comedy film about a nice guy named Joe who discovers he must share his run-down apartment with twenty to thirty thousand singing and dancing cockroaches. Led by Ralph, the sentient insects scare away thugs in an act of enlightened self-interest that endears them to their human meal ticket, Jerry O'Connell. As Joe navigates this unexpected situation, he finds himself drawn to Senator Dougherty's daughter Lily, played by Megan Ward, but their budding romance is put to the test when the cockroaches break a promise and chaos ensues.
