Herman is a loser. He’s the kid whose parents hire a baby-sitter half his size. He’s the hen-pecked caveman who arrives home from a hunt to a wife complaining, “You call yourself ‘early man’! You’re three hours late!” He’s the criminal who asks his lawyer, “How are you gonna defend me if you can’t stop laughing?” And the pencil-necked woman whose boyfriend proclaims, “She coulda been Miss Universe on any other planet.”’ (from rear wrap)
