I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Such a frustrating disappointment

Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

The improbable mix of early Tim Burton production design, the tone of Home Alone, a strange Paul Verhoeven-type satire, surreal David Lynchness, John Waters crass and a bit of John Landis cartoonishness for good measure.

The Applegates (Ed Begley Jr, Stockard Channing) are a peculiar suburban family. They live under assumed identities to infiltrate and sabotage the nuclear power plant. They are actually giant preying mantis from the Brazilian rainforest which is being stripped by development. Their queen, Aunt Bea (Dabney Coleman), is invading Ohio in three months. The daughter Sally falls for Vince Sampson from next door. When Vince forces himself on her, she goes mantis on him. The suburbs are harder than it seems. Sally gets pregnant. Johnny turns into a weed head. Jane goes crazy with her Discovery card. Richard gets fired. Then Aunt Bea arrives.I wouldn't say that there are any big laughs. It does have a weird dark satirical take on the suburbs. There is also an environmental message. This all adds up to an unseen cult movie. It has some fun takes. Michael Lehmann directed one of the great teen satires of all times, Heathers. This is way weirder.

This environmentally-themed black comedy seems newly relevant due to the accelerated deforestation in the Amazon as well what has been described as a nuclear renaissance. A lot of "Meet the Applegates" (alternately called "The Applegates") is just straightforward comedy, with the insect family trying to behave like a "typical American family" in the suburbs. By extension it shows that the "all-American lifestyle" is a facade, as the family members succumb to addictions. Ed Begley Jr, Stockard Channing, Dabney Coleman and Glenn Shadix (Otho in "Beetlejuice") make the most of their roles. No, it's not the funniest movie ever, but it's got some funny stuff mixed in with the ecological message.

Keyword reference for this film indicates scenes of interracial sex.There were no scenes of interracial sex - barely scenes of interracial interaction (other than the law enforcement official that meets a slimy end -- no sex, though).Did I miss something?In fact, the sex scenes are not much to worry about -- the daughter's romp is not the least bit erotic, or funny -- for that matter. This movie was supposed to be funny, and I suppose there were enough scenes of purely outrageous content that generate a grin. Gut busting laughter? No.
