Movie Reviews of Howard the Duck
Movie Review: An underrated cult favorite now on DVD!
Summary: 5 Stars
An anthropomorphic duck named Howard (Voiced by Chip Zien and played by Ed Gale) was having a miserable single life in his home planet where ducks rule. But one miserable night he is accidently sucked up by a mysterious laser-beam from Earth as is sent to our world where he discovers that there are talking hairless apes. He falls in love with a beautiful singer named Beverly (Lea Thompson) but needs to find a way to get back to his planet, however a lab assistant named Phil (Tim Robbins)is willing to help him and a professor named Jennings (Jeffery Jones) gets invaded by an evil being from another galaxy for now Howard must save the world.
A wonderful and highly entertaining adaptation of the cult Marvel Comics comes from executive producer George Lucas. This movie is known as one of the biggest box-office flops in history and has been critically panned yet it has retained a cult following over the years thanks to cable and video. Sure the story is silly sounding including the acting being bad especially some dialog but this movie is meant to be a goofy sci-fi comedy with a campy b-movie charm to it. Lea Thompson was very sexy in this movie especially in those hot pajamas that are almost revealing as it definitely would arouse a guy, i loved this movie since i was 4 in 1986 when i lived in St. Louis and my mom with dad took me to see this movie in a theater. I still love it as an adult for it's just a funny and exciting good time of a movie that shouldn't be taken seriously, just suspend disbelief and enjoy the movie for what it is even for a Marvel adaptation of a classic comic.
For the first time this movie is finally avalible on DVD in the U.S. as this cult favorite deserves one as it's got some great extras like a handful of featurettes on how it became a labor of love turned into a box-office bomb panned by critics then became a cult phenomenon and of course teaser trailers, i recommend this movie for the whole family.
