Bug Buster (1998)

How bad is it? It's a poor man's Mimic (or Arachnophobia), with failed humor.
Should you see it? Only if you're a huge fan of former television stars.

Randy Quaid stars as an exterminator in this film that also has Katherine Heigl, James Doohan and George Takei (but not together), Bernie Kopell, Anne Lockhart and Downtown Julie Brown. An experimental pesticide turns insects into monsters and people start dying. There are huge plot holes, there's failed comedy relief, the CGI is barely adequate and the rubber suit monster at the end is terrible (there are visible wires). As a comedy horror film, it fails on both counts.
