Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
spicy_mchaggis-2 not much more to be said that hasn't already. incredibly sub-par performances mixed with terrible special effects, storyline, etc. Probably my favorite things about this movie are the crazy old man randomly peering into the girls window with no explanation or reason and the amazing transformation that these mutant cockroaches make. they start out as earthworms then transform into giant African millipedes and finish their life cycle as madigascan hissing cockroaches. AMAZING it took me most of the movie to figure out that they were all the same thing and not just an infestation of multiple species. anyway if you love to watch groaners like me you should really love this and if you find it it won't be much more then the dollar that it is well worth.
gothicgoblin1334 I watched this 'bum-kickin' film with my friend one day in the UK while we were eating lunch and flipping through channels. To our surprise, we found the name of this movie, 'Bug-Buster' with RANDY QUAID! You know, the guy who was 'mad' at Clark...immediately, we went to the Sci-fi channel (we saw the name on the Guide) and what do you know? We start laughing and singing the Ghostbusters theme while we eat and laugh AT this pitiful film...let me begin by saying: well, this is obviously a low-budget spoof on good films by David Cronenberg (one of Hollywood's most authentic and genius visionaries) Ed Wood, and Roger Corman (the others don't need an introduction...) Basically the film, well, I question the PG-13 rating first of all... (Moans and sighs) Basically the film is about some drunk and ignorant teens that discover these tiny low-budget bugs and their queen. Here's a spoiler: THE Sheriff Is Working for the Bug!! No kidding, actually. You really have to see this film to believe it.
BradleyUK What an incredible film. Incredible in the fact that the Cast & Crew have admitted they made it, and that it actually got released. Thankfully it did and a copy made it to a local news agent in east London and was then purchased by a friend of mine (5 DVD's for £10 or some other offer) The joy I had watching this was like scratching the soles of my feet, it tickles & irritates & annoy's yet at the same time it relieves them and i want to do it more..argh!!! The acting IS the worst i've ever seen (I watch a lot of rubbish movies) the script is just as bad & Randy Quaid deserves an Oscar for the worst performance by a 'trained' actor. I loved the use of Star Trek old timers, there performances just add to the badness of the whole production. This is a perfect example that the saying 'its so bad its good' isnt always true. Plan 9 fitted into this catogory yet this film seems too knowledgable of its own badness to pull it off. After saying all this bad stuff i must admit I havent laughed so much for years. I advise all people into film to watch this as an example of how bad films can be & how much we should appreciate it when a decently scripted,acted & directed film hits the silver screen......think i might watch it again after all this talk...i need a good laugh.....1/10 (although 10/10 for being such a freak of a film) P.S. Many thanks to my so called mate for lending me this pile of.....
ukotranto Well, what can I say? What is wrong with you guys! Its pretty obvious you have missed the entire point of this film: to entertain! So the effects aren't great and the cast isn't A-list but who cares when you have old man Judediah bumbling round the town wide eyed and slack jawed ranting and peering through Katherine Heigl's window while she showers! And they say he is mad!Randy Quaid has been in a few duff films but this is by far his best to date! Watch the General George adverts to see what I mean. Its obvious that a country that finds Benny Hill funny would miss the point of a film like this. Just remember one thing, we only sent him to you because we got tired of his abuse of short bald old men.Who cares if the guy used to be in the Love Boat? Who cares about ex Star Trek cast members? So they were in ST, they aren't now so get over it. George Takei did very well considering all his scenes featured no other humans (including the opening scene!)A true classic of the B movie genre. You guys stick to your What Women Want and your Runaway Brides. I'm going to turn on, tune in and Kick Bug Ass.Its ok, the General said so.At ease.Peace, Out.If you enjoyed this film, may I recommend Leprechaun too?!
