Alot of people I have talked to did not know this movie was based off of a comic book. The rude and crudeness of Howard is in the comics. Now as far as this movie it is a great movie to my standards. It's very humorous and he does put a little action in it also. Lea Thompson is very good in it also. Very attractive and really can make the image of working with a unhuman duck very real. This movie is worth the rent and very much worth your time.
