Meet the Applegates
A new species of comedy
Directed by Michael Lehmann
Produced by Cinemarque Entertainment, New World Pictures
A surreal, high-concept comedy that mines absurdist humor from the collision between insect invaders and 1950s suburban Americana.
Modelling themselves after an idyllic cookie-cutter suburban 1950s family, a colony of insects move from South America into the United States with the intent of getting access to the nation's nuclear resources.
