Featured review
Stupid, and with singing cockroaches? I love it!!
We happened to notice this on the TV in the video store one evening, and decided we had to have it. Unfortunately for the poor shop assistant, she was in the middle of watching it and had to take it out of the VCR to rent it to us.
Turned out to be a great choice, even though I hate cockroaches! A marvelously silly, feel-good film. Yes, of course it has a standard plot-by-numbers plot-line, but it's rare to find a film that doesn't these days.
What's even better is that the shops think it is a bad film, so the DVD is very cheap. Go out and buy one!
