Synopsis
Howard, a wise-cracking duck from outer space, is brought to earth by a science experiment gone wrong. He attempts to fit in with his new surroundings while romancing a young punk-rock singer, but finds his new-found happiness threatened by the Dark Overlords who were also freed by the ill-fated experiment.

Industry Reviews
"...There is an abundant amount of special effects wizardry....Thomas Dolby's songs written for Cherry Bomb's club sets are catchy..."
Variety - Brit. (08/06/1986)

"...Thompson is an absolute beacon of warmth, common sense, intelligence and loveliness..."
Los Angeles Times - Sheila Benson (08/01/1986)
