Joe's Apartment
Joe's Apartment is a 1996 American musical black comedy film written and directed by John Payson, based on his 1992 short film of the same name, and starring Jerry O'Connell and Megan Ward. The main focus of the story is the fact that, unbeknownst to many humans, cockroaches can talk, but prefer not to, as humans "smush first and ask questions later". They also sing and even have their own public-
