It was the first movie made by MTV, back when they were actually known for Music. It is literally a movie about talking cockroaches.

Wow... Jerry O'Connell looks so young here... I might also be showing my age...

“Back when they did music?” I haven’t watched mtv in 20+ years, but they stopped showing music videos? What the heck do they show them?

Never mind. Googled it. I don’t get how people find reality tv even mildly interesting.

Just like Pauly Shore movies. You know you're in for something horrid, but it's still enjoyable in a special kind of way.

Underrated can exist. Starship Troopers was a completely different movie for me after I spent time in the Marine Corps.

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Starship Troopers was a huge hit. And some critics got that it was making fun of fascism. Other critics missed the irony.

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

That makes you a fan. Underrated means you consider the film to have a smaller fanbase than you perceive it deserves.
