It's as bad as to be expected. Lea Thompson seems like she's really trying. Too bad it is wasted in such a sloppy movie. It's too sleazy for kids and too stupid for adults. The costume for Howard is thoroughly unconvincing though Chip Zien's voicework is not terrible. Except it belongs in a cartoon film not live action. It's bizarre to discover that Tim Robbins is in this movie.

The main star of the film is a cigar smoking, foul (no pun intended) mouthed duck about 3 feet tall based on a series of best-selling comic books. The film is filled with bad jokes, horrible dialogue, crappy special effects, and what makes this film almost unwatchable is the sexual attraction the Howard the Duck and Lea Thompson’s character develop - See more at: http://lastonetoleavethetheatre.blogspot.com/2013/03/oz-great-and-powerful.html#sthash.vTifLAGu.dpuf

As he is relaxing while thumbing through his magazine, he feels his chair begin to violently shake. Seconds later he and his chair are going through his apartment building's walls and eventually over the streets of "Marshington, DC". As he is screaming, those on the streets look up in shock.
Suddenly, "Howard" is flying through space itself and lands on a strange world that appears to be similar to his home, but it is inhabited by strange, featherless creatures who are taller than him. After his first …
