As far as we could gleam, the plot is about a giant cockroach that's going around killing people. Note: there may be more than one, but it seems to be just the one. It kills someone in the beginning who doesn't matter and then attacks some scientists who may be responsible for its existence. Then we are treated to totally different characters for a solid 45 minutes with no attacks. A squad of "cleaners" are called in to cover up these attacks and they include a guy and girl with a past involving a lot of belligerent sexual tension, a man with the worst fake Irish accent ever, a woman who abhors all things girly (late 90s feminism everyone), and a former Marine who's sensititve. They find the daughter of a murdered scientist in a tree, and she turns out to be the former Marine's ex and a former, at this point, bug scientist. There's a lot of awkward sex scenes in tents. In a parallel story, there are two government agents who don't get along who are also investigating the bug attacks: a guy who accidently killed someone at the agency and can't forgive himself, and a women ironically named Lovejoy who also won't forgive him. They fight a lot until seconds before the man is killed by a bug. Most of the cleaners die in stupid ways that I'd rather no spoil and the former Marine double crosses bug girl and we are ultimately left with just Lovejoy and bug girl, who decide to be friends? Or girlfriends because they both need love? It's unclear, and we couldn't hear the dialogue.
So this film is choice. We laughed a lot consistently throughout the film, and there was rarely a dull moment. Enjoy!
