Details

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?

Noutions Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .
TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
Kayden This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama
Predrag 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.
Tango and Cash Whew, this movie stinks!I think the other reviewers here have covered most of the...highlights. But you know, this was just a cheapy money maker. It's just a reboot of the first one, even including the putt-putt golf scene, which is just shameless. The only new thing is: boxing and a meth-head-looking Stylez.I've been watching arrested development so much lately I thought I'd give TWT a shot, because I'm just hangin around the house tonight.Funny, I texted a few friends that I was watching this movie, and everyone said, "Oh man that movie sucks." Boy, do I agree. It's horrible.The three-in-a-row montage thing really is priceless. I'm actually still watching it right now, and it's on the third song. So funny!Styles looks like...jeez, I'm not sure. His "Missouri Compromise" hairdo sure does work for him though. And yes, Chubby is on the fencing team. A sport for nimble, slim, quick guys. Yeah. A guy named Chubby got a fencing scholarship.This movie is to Teen Wolf what Saved by the Bell: The College Years was to Saved by the Bell - a painful reminder that this show sucks. "Frog fighting in my lab?" Yes! What a half-hearted effort. The script is garbage. That's where the main fault lies - this script is totally, totally ridiculous it's so bad. Wouldn't a human who could turn into a wolf attract some kind of media attention? I mean sure they didn't have Twitter in the 80s, but you'd think ESPN or something might pick up on it. Just sayin'.Oh yeah, I also like how Bateman and his girlfriend both speak Latin and know graduate-level biology. In case you hadn't checked, most freshman are idiots who don't read anything at all. I guess it just wasn't believable.Last thought - do colleges really have boxing teams?
Paul Andrews Teen Wolf Too starts as teenager Todd Howard (Jason Bateman) arrives at Hamilton University on a sports scholarship because of a recommendation from boxing coach Finstock (Paul Sand) who is under pressure from Dean Dunn (John Astin) to win some trophy's & get Hamilton University noticed. Coach Finstock used to coach basketball & Todd's cousin Scott who had great agility & strength when he turned into a Werewolf & hopes that Todd himself is a Werewolf & can help the boxing team out. Todd isn't too interested in boxing & just wants to study science but is forced to take part in competitive matches, while being beaten in the boxing ring by an opponent Todd unexpectedly changes into a Werewolf & wins the match & at the same time becomes a local celebrity who milks his new found fame & popularity for all he can but Todd loses sight of who he is as the Werewolf inside takes control...Directed by Christopher Leitch this was the first & so far only sequel to the surprise box-office hit fantasy sporting comedy Teen Wolf (1985) which starred Michael J. Fox, Teen Wolf Too doesn't star Michael J. Fox & is basically more of a remake than an original film that tries to expand & develop the ideas seen in the original Teen Wolf & instead just blatantly copies them. The only great difference between Teen Wolf Too & it's predecessor Teen Wolf is that basketball has been replaced with boxing in which the central character must prove himself & his humanity over the Wolf. All the themes & ideas of the original Teen Wolf are shamelessly copied here, the high school loser & social outcast turned celebrity by becoming the Wolf, the good girl bad girl problem, the way schoolwork & study suffer, the way he goes from useless weakling to an overnight sporting success &, of course, the central moral message of just being yourself will be enough. Teen Wolf Too is throughly predictable, at over 90 minutes long it feels like it lasts forever & for a supposed comedy it's extremely unfunny, in fact I don't think I laughed once & the majority of the so-called jokes & gags are just plain cringe worthy. From a Frog fight in a biology class to the Dean & his pet Dog to the laid back Coach to the horrible musical montages featuring some hideous 80's pop music Teen Wolf Too is actually quite embarrassing to watch with zero plot (that was a really random twist at the ends up being totally pointless) & certainly not funny in any way.The whole film has a forgettable look to it, sure it's competent enough I suppose but nothing special. The special effects are poor, from the awful Werewolf make-up to the Wolf tail that actress Kim Darby has to wear that looks more like a static duster than the tail of a Wolf. About half way through Teen Wolf Too there's this awful musical number in which Howard the Wolf dressed in a purple suit does a song & dance number at a party with all the other students there joining in & thus making this big dance number which is truly horrifying to watch. Scenes like Howard the Wolf running after & catching a Frisbee in his mouth like a real Dog don't help neither does the fact that it takes half an hour before he even turns into the Wolf.With a supposed budget of about $3,000,000 I can only wonder where all the money went? Apparently filmed at Pomona College in California. James Hampton & Mark Holton are the only returning cast member from the original Teen Wolf while Jason Bateman makes for a bland leading man & maybe the fact his dad Kent Bateman was the producer had something to do with his casting.Teen Wolf Too is a really bad 80's comedy fantasy that is actually quite embarrassing to watch, from the horrible 80's pop music to the lame jokes & gags to the wretched make-up effects one has to say that you would be better off watching the original Teen Wolf again & considering they are both virtually the same film you won't miss anything here.
rolf4 i am the only, how love the movie. its so great to see, if todd dance with the nice girl, wear a suit and tie. but instead of he get an erection, he changed into a teen wolf. how cares, that todd sings and get arrogant and lordly? i am not. the DVD has got not mutch extras, the cinema trailer. and that is one important thing, what i am miss: in the trailer todd stand before a mirror, had got some trouble in a locker room, he ripped his shirt and his fingernails are pointed. outside was stiles ans spoke to todd. then the camera again goes to todd and he hast got pointed and hairy ears and pointet theeth.and this scene was complete deleted in the movie.
