Horrible sequel
Added 5/11/2002
Because I was nuts about the original with Michael J. Fox, I felt that I had to go see this movie when it came out. Although it stared Jason Bateman in the lead role this time (Fox had other committments) I figured that I would give it a chance and so went to the theaters.
College student Todd Howard may be more intially popular than his small town cousin Scott, but the revealing of the family secret is much less amusing this time because it is basically the same synopsis with a location and some character changes. This of course did not make a successful movie, and I venture to argue, may have actually hurt the franchise's chances. To his credit, Bateman really tries to make this film work, but lacks Fox's same comic timing and the ability to play an average person blessed with a rather unusal family curse. The problem is, the sensitivity and confusion that Fox managed to convey throughout the first film never shows up in the hastily produced sequel.

Teen Wolf & Teen Wolf Too-Just OK
Added 8/4/2009
Both Teen Wolf and Teen Wolf Too were just OK scoring about 3 stars with this reviewer. Teen Wolf had the feel of an 80's film and my family missed this film when it first came out. We picked up this double feature some years after its release and enjoyed M. J. Fox, but did not get that much of a bang out of it. The strangest thing about both films is that the subject of the werewolf is treated so casually, just like a case of a five-o-clock shadow that increases your popularity at school. These two movies should obviously not be taken too seriously and were basically kid films made for the consumption of popcorn and a few hours to kill. I was a little surprised that Mr. Fox accepted the role as he seemed to have a few things going for him back then.

Wine+Cookies+Teenwolf= Ok Time
Added 7/18/2009
Although a great movie I feel like some of the original music might have been left out. I could be wrong. I mean, like, the last time I have viewed this movie was in, Oh, I dunno, 1985.... There were moments in the movie where there was too much silence, that made it seem like there could have been a music track playing. But anyway. Despite that. The transfer was quite clear, but I wonder if this was the full screen version stretched out to fill a widescreen format. Hrm.

Howling Good Fun
Added 7/18/2009
I must admit that this is a good movie, despite the horrible make-up that Micheal J. Fox wears when he transforms into the "wolf". Why is it that every movie (and TV Show) that has a werewolf in it, the "werewolf" looks more like Bigfoot than an actual wolf? Hellsing is the only movie that I could think of that doesn't turn the werewolf into a Bigfoot rip-off.
But Teen Wolf is a good movie about this basketball star that becomes a werewolf, and his father is too. I never saw the sequel to Teen Wolf, and from what I hear that's a very good thing. This is a movie from my childhood and it's very good, despite that Bigfoot make-up.

Beware of fine print
Added 6/15/2009
When buying a product labeled "new" take care to read every single thing in the ad. If item has been opened to check for condition, that means the exterior could come all beat up and unfit to give as a gift. You will be stuck with it.

Teen Wolf is a classic. I only wanted part 1 but the double dvd disc is the cheapest I could find but it was worth it.
