Just plain fun!.......2007-03-19
This flick is just plain, old-fashioned fun! Cheap thrills and special effects, but the hilarious Randy Quaid and the ever sexy Meredith Salenger and Katherine Heigl more than make up for it. Good "Friday Night Popcorn Flick"! Lacking in the Extras department, but worth a look.

Good, and could have been better.......2006-02-03
The movie was good and entertaining but, i found some of the people
just to nice and easygoing for this type of movie. Scotty from Star
Trek is just too nice of a sheriff and cares too much... and some
of the scenes look like they were all shot on the same day and then
edited into their righfull places in the film. So bottom line is
this is a good but not perfect bug/creature movie that is worth at
least one viewing.
Sumptuous!.......2004-10-18
Bug Buster combines goofy humor, great acting, and powerful storytelling. It is a timeless tale about bugs and the intricate world they inhabit. On the surface, the film is about just this, bugs, but upon deeper inspection the film comments on the tenderness of the human heart and the comprehensiveness of human compassion. Don't miss this touching tale about so much more than insects.
BEAM US UP SCOTTIE!.......2004-05-20
Yes, James Doohan and George Takei, STAR TREK's Scotty and Sulu, are in this movie. Doohan has more screen time as the sheriff, but Takei as an eccentric scientist, looks like he stepped right out of a Japense scifi flick.
BUG BUSTER, an entertaining little flick, has an identity crisis that works against its overall effectiveness. Is it a horror movie with comic touches or is it a comedy with horror touches? It's not out and out satire like the Scary Movie series, and it seems to want to take itself seriously, even with Randy Quaid's over the top General George, the pest eliminator. At any rate, director Lorenzo Doumani keeps the movie going along pretty well and has some unique things going for it.
First, here we have Bernie Kopell (from LOVE BOAT) and Anne Lockhart (June's daughter) playing the parents of premenopausal Katherine Heigl. And they get their own love scene..it's nice to see people past the age of 50 having the desire to have sex and show their love for each other.
As for the bugs, the real roaches are quite repulsive, and even the giant one at the climax is effectively disgusting. Downtown Julie Brown has a "cute" cameo as the reporter for FU2 t.v., where she blatantly extols the calamities happening in the little town of Mountainview.
Another unique touch: Trailer Trash, the band in the lodge's lounge, featuring Melba Toast and ?, is hilarious.
Entertaining, but its identity crisis, keeps it from being better. Oh, Brenda Doumani who plays the veterinarian is effective, and probably related to the director? Anyway, she also sings the movies closing credit song, "Virtue", which is about as bad as a song can get!
One of Heigl's best films.......2003-06-14
OK, there are two reasons why this film gets 5 stars. You Katherine Heigl fans know what I mean.
Here Heigl's family moves to a small west coast town being pleagued by giant bugs. And only the cast of 'Star Trek' can save her.
For a B movie the production is suprisingly good.
For those of you disapionted by Heigl's recent films 'Valintine' and 'Evil Never Dies' have no fear. Thoses film stunk because Heigl barely had any screen time. In 'Bug Buster' she is truly the main character and does what she does best, taking baths and showing.
I'd probably rate this film third after 'Wish Upon a Star' and 'Prince Valient' (where is that DVD?)
If your a guy wondering "who in Katherine Heigl?" Look her up on the internet. Then come back here and order this film.
You Need Not Take It Seriously to Like It.......2003-04-20
BUG BUSTER is one of those rarest of fright films: it knows when not to take itself too seriously even if it does not know when to frighten and when to amuse. The Bug of the movie is the Mother Bug, a flying roach that looks exactly like what is it, some guy on wires wearing a bug suit. It is hard to imagine even small children being fightened, but it is far easier to see that the audience is titillated by overlapping waves of corny dialogue, cheesy special effects, and guest appearances by Star Trek's James Doohan as a corrupt small-town sheriff and George Tokei as a demented entymologist. The plot is nonsense, of course. A Mother Bug lays eggs that threaten everyone in town. This theme of insectoid mother love we have seen before. ALIENS showed us how it could be presented in a serious vein. But here, in BUG BUSTER, everything is played for laughs. Randy Quaid steals the show as exterminator General George, who squares off in a boxing match with the Mother Bug in a scene that pays homage to Charles Dutton, who tried much the same in ALIENS 3. The result of this slugfest is a microscopic metaphor of the joy that a Big Bug movie can bring if only it refuses to take itself too seriously.
