Review of Howard the Duck (1986) by Bill T — 03 Mar 2017

I remember seeing this... Uh, maybe opening day or opening weekend in Calgary, maybe with my brother. Anyways, it was getting positively trashed in reviews, but it seemed weird enough to go. I can recall not being particularily enamoured with it, maybe even bored.

Anyways, now was a good time as ever for a rewatch. While the whole thing IS sort of stupid, it definitely does have that eighties vibe, Howard sort of is amusing, and Lea Thompson is somewhat goofy to look at with her crimped-to-death hair. The greatest thimg about this rewatch though, is Tim Robbins in his hungry actor phase. Keep building up that resume kid!
