Howard The Duck. 1986.

A film with George Lucas's name on it should have been a masterpiece to watch, but sadly this one went down quicker than the Titanic to the point of two executives decided to have a fisty fight and blame one another for loss. Yet after the theatrical release this became a cult classic and probably a firm favourite to some of us.

Lea Thompson plays the punk band leader who befriends the sarcastic humanoid Howard from Duckworld played by a few actors. Tim Robbins is the lab assistant but seems a bit dim witted and manages to bring a laugh. Jeffrey Jones is the scientist who's lab lazer beam brought Howard to Earth and hopes to reverse it until it goes wrong.

Zany mad cap comedy that does come with it's campy style, daft witted comments, the acting isn't that great but also not that terrible, while trying to take a serious tone it can become laughable with some adult humour mixed in. One of those guilty pleasure films for me.
