Comment
On a planet where ducks are the highest life form, an unsuspecting duck is sucked out of his living room and transported across the galaxy to Cleveland. There he rescues a girl (Lea Thompson) from a rock band and then has to save the world from an evil creature who has also been transported to earth. This film was panned by the critics and a commercial flop which is no surprise as it is not a good film. However the duck does have a few funny lines and Lea Thompson does give a good performance given the material that she has to work with. It has become something of a cult film given how much it cost to make and how much it lost at the box office.
