Teen Wolf Too (1987)
A high school jock is transformed into a werewolf when pubery hits in this silly comedy (yeah, I know that's exactly the same premise I used for the first movie -- It is the same). This time the teen wolf is played by Jason Bateman.
It's a sad truth that there are a lot of bad werewolf movies out there. But there are a few that really stand out as being among the worst of the worst ... and "Teen Wolf Too" is undoubtably one of them.
It follows pretty much the same plot as the first movie, which was itself a recycled formula. Todd Howard (cousin of Scott from the first movie), a hard-working science student, arrives in college wanting to work towards becoming a vet. But there's one snag -- he's there under a sports scholarship, and unless he performs well in the boxing tournament his place in the college is at stake. Thankfully, he finds himself succumbing to his cousin's lycanthropic curse and becomes a popular and agile werewolf. But in the process he, of course, forgets who his real friends are.
There are numerous recurring characters from the first movie, some of whom have inexplicably moved to this college. There are Scott's high school chums, Chubby and Stiles -- Stiles is this time played by Stuart Fratkin, who also appeared in an episode of the TV show "Werewolf" the same year ("A Material Girl"). Scott's dad also makes a few appearances, as well as the Scott's coach, who is also played by a different actor this time. But of course, none of this matters ... without Michael J Fox, this movie was pretty much doomed from the start. He was pretty much the only thing that saved "Teen Wolf" from being a flop.
The dialogue is unbearable, the directing is clumsy, and the acting in places is downright appalling. Since this is basically a remake of the first movie, there's absolutely no reason to watch it. Just watch the original, and forget about this one altogether. There's hardly anything good to say about it at all. And believe it or not, it still made money. In fact it's very surprising that we didn't see a "Teen Wolf Three" the next year. Thank heavens for small blessings ...
I only have one thing to say about this diaster.
PLEASE MOMMY, DON'T MAKE ME WATCH THIS GARBAGE AGAIN!

I'm new at this review business and have not been much of writing them, but I feel compelled to shine light on movies that most people don't like. I'll admit that this movie was not as good as the first one, but give it a chance, it has its moments. I still think this movie is a good classic.




I was hoping this movie would not be included on this website.
I have to admit, as a teenager I actually could watch the first Teen Wolf and enjoy it. This one is terrible. The first one was at least comical and had a bit of zazz to it. Nothing here but wasted time.
Jason Bateman! Ha Ha! Did he ever do anything good? I don't think so. I had to watch it out of pure curiosity. I lost two hours of my life dammit!
