Rubber Duck

Hi there everybody! This episode was truly amazing. Outstanding! I laughed so hard, that my eyes watered up. The love letter to the fantastic and classic Tom Cruise movie "Risky Business" is spot on. The first second of the episode I noticed what was going on and I marked out BIG TIME. I just loved it! If you liked this episode, but haven't seen the Risky Business movie yet. Then let me tell you, go watch that movie, then go see this episode again and I promise you that you will love Rubber Duck even more then you previously did when you get all the references. Towards the end of the episode, I was just waiting for the cracked egg reference, because I knew it just had to come and it did and it was brilliant. I agree with a previous reviewer that Jace Norman has all the potential in the world to be an absolut outstanding actor. I'm actually voting for him to mount the role of John McClane in a (hopefully) upcoming Die Hard reboot. I think he would do that role great justice. But back to the episode. This episode is doing everything right. The script, the comedy, the references, the acting. It's all spot on! I loved this episode! And it's my personal favorite. My recommendation is, watch this. You wont be disappointed. Two thumbs up for this incredible episode and to all the people involved to make it a reality!

There's one thing about the Henry Danger series that's really pretty good--they pay a lot of homage to classic movies and TV shows. They did an outstanding job with a vintage Star Trek episode a few years ago and they'll thrown a full effort into this show, RUBBER DUCK which is a salute to the Tom Cruise movie RISKY BUSINESS. They cleverly eliminated or replaced the profanity and sexuality of the original film. Even the title Rubber Duck is a funny substitution for a memorable phrase from the Cruise movie. This episode is also the first time in a long time that they allowed their principal actors to act. Lately the show has bordered on just silly with Henry and Ray talking over each other's lines. But Henry (Jace Norman) was allowed to act and so was his buddy Jasper (Sean Ryan Fox). The normally goofy Jasper character was given the chance to be the bad boy and he did a fine job. Jace is just waiting to explode into some serious acting. Until then, I hope they give the young actors more to do than just being silly. This episode was well produced, well written, and well performed.

It's been a while.
