Should you see it? If you like big bug movies, which you should.
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds."

Mosquito (1995)
How bad is it? It's a very self-aware giant insect movie.

Two years after "Skeeter," this very similar film got released, directed by Gary Jones, who seems to be the 1990's answer to Bert I. Gordon and his giant bug movies (he also directed "Ticks"). The script was written by star Gunnar Hansen, who references his work in Texas Chainsaw Massacre when he picks up a chainsaw to use against the bugs. Besides the intentional humor, I think there are unintentional laughs, including at least one that appears improvised and causes an actor to break character and laugh. It's worth a watch.
