I LOVE Howard. Who is Howrard, you ask? Howard is the Duck.In this cult classic, Howard the Duck has to come to earth accientally and then he falls in love with the mom from BTTF. I like it because the mom from BTTF the future is a good funny actress and I like it.Anyway, gotta go! Peace, Howard Nation!

Much to my dismay, I watched this because of GOTG 2. I knew this was going to be garbage going in. But what gets me is how well produced this film is for something done in the 80s. You know what? I know what this film feels like. This film feels like something the current DC universe would put out. Totally well produced garbage. Neat special effects but with a story practically written in crayon and dumbed down for a fourth grade audience while having crude adult oriented sexuality just for the hell of it. But yeah, at least Marvel learned their lesson.

My wife, bless her heart, has occasionally heard me comment about Howard the Duck. So when the DVD came available in a $5 bin she picked up a copy. Hoping that the film's apparent cult status meant there was some redeeming value I had missed as a teenager, we started to watch it.We lasted 30 minutes. What a pile of tripe. I kid you not, we actually found greater entertainment reading the reviews from Rotten Tomatoes than we did watching the film --- by a considerable degree.The script is slow and boring, the acting is bad, after 30 minutes there still wasn't a plot (I suppose one would have materialized after the bad guy appeared, but he hadn't in 30 minutes...), the sets were bad, the editing was bad. Honestly, it's like Ed Wood had risen from the grave to make one last clunker of a movie.Finally, I'd like to echo the words of the eternal Gene Siskel... "Who was this stupid film made for?" It's too brain-dead stupid for adults, it's too coarse for children (even by today's standards). My wife and I literally couldn't figure out the intended audience. It's all over the map. Ten-year-old cuddly one moment, condom-vulgar the next. Sheesh! So, save your money and watch anything else. Even Youtube videos of kittens are a more valuable use of your time than Howard the Duck.
