Teen Wolf Too Trailers

Although awkward college student Todd Howard is particularly adept at science, he's paying for school with an athletic scholarship that he will lose should he not fare well in an upcoming boxing tournament. Luckily for Todd, he has inherited the same family curse that once turned his cousin into a werewolf. As he transforms into the hairy, fanged, howling monster, he finds both his physical agility and his popularity skyrocketing -- but at what cost?

Ouch, in reading some of these user reviews Teen Wolf Too is really hated. But really, don't lisen to these jabronies, this is not nearly as bad as they make it out to be. Granted, Teen Wolf is a 80's classic, I would not say the follow up is in that catagory. However, if you can overlook the fact that 80's pop culture icon Michael J Fox is not in it, the film really is'nt all that bad. It does try to copy the 1st film in many respects and is not altogether successful. But, even as a failure, it is not a bad film. It does follow the same formula for every 80's teen comedy and while it is lacking someone like Michael J Fox who could knock this out of the park, Teen Wolf Too is far from unwatchable. Jason Bateman actually gives a pretty decent performance, comparing him with Fox is'nt really fair as he is not a superstar or possessing of Michael's unique charisma and screen presence. The film is not nearly as funny as the 1st film either and at times is a bit corny. Either way, Teen Wolf Too is a decent time passer and if you take into consideration that this movie follows a lot of 80's genre conventions and won't blow you away, Teen Wolf Too is passable campy entertainment.

You wont know why... anything happened in the movie. The only answer is, it happened in the successful Teen Wolf Movie too. The movie was a terrible sequel to the original Teen Wolf, which was corny, but it has something good. This movie about a guy who becomes the Wolf Todd Howard, tried to but basically did not convey some of the ideas of the original Teen Wolf movie about Scott Howard who became a wolf. That means a viewer who has seen Teen Wolf, will immediately draws a comparison to Teen Wolf when they watch this, but it is a bad comparison. For one thing Teen Wolf conveyed a concept about team work, with the sport of Basketball. Scott Howard of Teen Wolf learns that team work is important. For this movie they tried the same thing, but they picked the wrong sport to relate to teamwork (Boxing), so you don't get the same message. In Teen Wolf, Scott Howard becomes the Wolf and the important guy and gets some attention from the beautiful girl he has been chasing. In this movie, it is not obvious that Todd Howard is chasing the beautiful girl. In Teen Wolf, Scott Howard has a long time girl friend who objects to the wolf, who is not the attention grabbing beautiful girl he is chasing, but someone less attractive, who likes him for himself. In this movie the same part is there, but she is not someone who has been around Todd all his life, and furthermore, she is the prettiest girl in the movie, so the message is not the same. You will probably wonder why when you watch this movie too.

Jason Bateman is much better than the film deserves, and actually gives a sharp and funny performance despite the mediocre production. We see the same progression in Todd as we had scene before with Michael J. Fox's Scott, where both characters turn on their friends and become real jerks after getting a taste of teenage popularity. The only difference here is that Todd is now playing for the college boxing team rather than a high school basketball team. When topped off with the rather ugly make-up effects, Jason Bateman looks more like a disfigured cat than he ever does a wolf. Paul Sand, Mark Holton, and James Hampton make appearances from the original, with John Astin and Kim Darby joining the cast.Christopher Leitch leaves nothing to chance in this unnecessary sequel, trying his best to recreate the same successes of the first film with very little variance. Still it's the 80's so I can't hate. The story is pretty much a re-hash of the original but is about boxing instead of b-ball and is at university instead of high school. The acting is actually quite good, considering the movie's obvious low budget and overall silliness. The werewolf "FX" (ie - make-up) is a little crude but it is done well enough to just about suspend disbelief.Overall rating: 6 out of 10.

If you have watched Teen Wolf, then change out Michael J Fox for his wolf cousin Jason Bateman, replace basketball with boxing and move everything to college not high school and there is no need to watch this pointless sequel. It's a badly made, badly written, badly acted movie. It looked like a cross between a Teen Wold rehash and a discarded Animal House or Stripes style script with a boxing / dancing wolf thrown into the mix. Sometimes films should not have been made and this is clearly one of those times.The only reason I can come up with is that it was the 80's and apparently Hollywood was cocaine filled or so the stories go. There has to be a link, doesn't there? Now for the good points…………………………………………………………… Featured on Episode 71 of The Emerald Reprobates Podcast.
