The 80’s were full of fun, campy comedies. Weird Science, The Money Pit… even Funny Farm had a certain charm. Unfortunately, for every Stripes there were as least six films like our feature presentation.

Walk Like a Man stars Howie Mandell, the 80’s version of Carrot Top. He’s an annoying hack, yet somehow he remained in the public spotlight. The film’s plot is a simple one; Bobo (Mandell) is a boy that was raised by wolves, and now he must learn to fit into society, or el...e his evil brother (Christopher Lloyd) will steal his inheritance. That’s pretty much it. This is a film that depends on a single joke for all of its laughs. You see, Mandell is a mad, but he acts like a dog. Apparently, that’s a concept that someone thought was so funny, that movie patrons would pay to watch it for an hour-and-a-half. I wasn’t laughing during the first part of the film, and I certainly wasn’t laughing by the end.
