Howard the Duck

“More adventure than humanly possible.”

Premium Crap. CrapScore 80, rated by 1 admin.

Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.

Why it’s crap
An alien duck lands on Earth and is pulled into romance, music and a sinister scientific crisis. The uneasy mix of adult jokes, creature comedy and blockbuster ambitions never settles on an audience, which is precisely what makes it so peculiar.
