Howard the Duck (1986)

Rate: 3
Viewed: 3/10

3/10: Howard the Duck was a massive box-office failure back in the 80's, and everybody made fun of it.

Watching the movie again, I can see why. Occasionally, there are funny moments, but the rest is a mess. It isn't terrible, but I lost interest after Jeffrey Jones went bat crazy. No question, the grossest scene is when Lea Thompson was about to commit an act of bestiality with the duck. What a nauseous moment.

I read the back cover of the DVD case that Howard the Duck was "one of the most talked-about movies of all time." Really? I hadn't heard a peep since it came out twenty-four years ago.

All in all, what a disaster Howard the Duck is.
