Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

I love the actors/actresses in this and I think this movie,if you watch it from a non critical manner you can have fun with it.Sure its far from great,or even good but I do agree,I have seen a lot worst.In fact I have seen a lot of stupid comedies that have nothing to do with bugs and I couldn't even watch part of it,let alone the whole thing.I have read hundreds of comments on hundreds of movies and there is always a few commenting that will say this or that movie was the worst,it sucked,it was terrible,etc,etc..Why do people have to be so critical of a movie.Its only a movie.Lighten up people and take the movie for what it is and many more like it.In fact you could sit back and have a good hard laugh with it.In its own way,I like this movie.

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.

Hi, Everyone,I was the keyboard player in the band "Trailer Park Trash" in the movie. Fortunately they misspelled my last name in the movie credits. No, just joking. It was a fun experience (making the movie was fun, watching it was a little excruciating).Johnny Legend and Melba Toast and I had performed lots of times at various Country Music spots in L.A. over the years of the 80s and 90s. We performed for the producer at some of his Christmas parties. He decided to use us for the scene in the lodge. It was very very hot when we did our scene. It was over 100 outside and hotter inside. The air conditioning had to be turned off while we were filming.It was nice to work with the cast and crew. The movie turned out pretty bad but still fun to watch if you have friends over on a Saturday night and you want to laugh at the screen. Maybe the perfect DVD to get for your mother-in-law or your wife's attorney.The bugs that attacked Johnny Legend during our musical numbers were very real. Not some special effect. There was a "bug wrangler" on the set. They are some kind of cockroach from South America or somewhere and they are as long as a grown man's index finger and as fat as a man's thumb.I would like to say something really good about the movie but I will have to come back if I can think of something.Tom Willett
