The not-so-excellent adventures of toxic chemical company spokesman Alex Winter (as Ricky Coogan) and his pal Michael Stoyanov (as Ernie) are told, in flashbacks, to talk-show host Brooke Shields (as Skye Daley). The beauty appears briefly. Joined by pretty protester Megan Ward (as Julie), the trio are turned into mutant freaks by hairy, hammy Randy Quaid (as Elijah C. Skuggs), in South America (allegedly). Then appears an army of beasts. "Freaked" absolutely shows make-up and special effects can be superior to lame comedy, which certainly wasn't the point being made here. Keanu Reeves sports a great tail. Beauty is only skin deep, but humor goes right to the funny bone.
