Joe (Creator/JerryOConnell) has just moved to UsefulNotes/NewYorkCity from Iowa, in need of money and a job. A local artist helps Joe get an apartment in a building slated for demolition, where he discovers that a horde of cockroaches is also present - singing, dancing cockroaches. Joe and the roaches soon strike an uneasy friendship - he's just glad to have an apartment, and they're glad that Joe is a complete slob. After a string of attempted jobs get ruined by the roaches, Joe signs on to become the drummer in a local band and meets Lily Dougherty (Megan Ward), the daughter of a senator (Creator/RobertVaughn) who is looking to tear down the building Joe lives in and build a prison over top of it. With the help of the roaches, Joe tries to help Lily create a community garden and stave off the threat of the building's demolition.

''Joe's Apartment'' was the first project helmed by MTV Films, and was loosely based on the 1992 short film of the same name (which was inspired by ''Anime/TwilightOfTheCockroaches''). The movie featured a large amount of [[ToiletHumor grossout humor]], and more than 5,000 actual cockroaches were used during production of the film. The computer-animated roaches were one of the earliest jobs for animator Chris Wedge and his fledging [[Creator/BlueSkyStudios Blue Sky Studio]].
