He wasn't much of a man... Now he's not much of an animal!

ComedyScience Fiction

When loser Marvin Mange is involved in a horrible car accident, he's brought back to life by a deranged scientist as half man and half animal. His newfound powers are awesome -- but their adverse side effects could take over his life. Now, Marvin must fight to control his crazy primal urges around his new squeeze, Rianna, and his rival, Sgt. Sisk, who both think he's one cool cat.

VIBE

This is a riotous, over-the-top ride filled with physical gags and absurd situations. It's a silly, feel-good romp about a man grappling with newfound, hilariously inconvenient animalistic instincts, delivering constant, unpretentious laughs with a frenetic energy that never lets up.
