A curate's duck egg - Howard the Duck review by LC
An infamous flop, this Marvel Comics adaptation is by no means a great film, but equally it's nowhere near as bad as it's reputation. Some of the early scenes with lost alien duck Howard finding his way in the world with his new female friend Beverly have a certain goofy charm, but it has to be said that the main bad guy narrative is pretty laboured, and ultimately tiresome. By no means a great - or possibly even good - film, but this is so bizarre and oddball it's probably still worth a look anyway.
