Horrible.
posted on 15 May 2009I watched this when I was about 14 years old, as a follow-up to Teen Wolf (which I don't really remember at all, but must've liked well enough to see this).And yes, it sucked. The movie wasn't really about anything, but it was basically really, really horrible. The special effects when people turn to wolves are just .. gruesome.This is not one of those "fun to see because it's so bad"-movies. It's just horrible.
Tragically afflicted with sequelitis
posted on 03 May 2009If a werewolf movie exists, i MUST watch it. I feel compelled.I wish now i hadn't been feeling so compelled to see this one.It was pretty damn awful. Its worst failing is that it was too cutesy-poo. Oozing, dripping, and festering with sheer cutesiness. Constantly. And over-flowingly. And not at all shy about knocking you upside the head on how really and truly too cute it really and truly is.The first movie with Michael A. Fox was at least of some entertainment value in at least i can say i enjoyed watching it. But definitely not this one. It was just a blatant attempt to cash in on the first movie.Sometimes sequels do equal the quality of the first movie, but this was not one of those times.Semi-passable production values but the screenplay stunk to high heaven. It stunk so badly that no self-respecting werewolf would possibly want to roll around in it. The screenplay was a total exploitive hackjob. Sorry, but it was.I forced myself to watch this "movie" to the very end and then howled my annoyance my time had been foolishly wasted. Me and my compulsions... Oh well, no one ever said they would always bring me joy and delight.
Same exact story as the first in a new, but similar setting.
posted on 17 Feb 2009"Teen Wolf Too" can hardly even be called a sequel to the first. It is more accurately a remake. It has almost the exact same plot as the first, except the sport here is boxing instead of basketball. Most of the supporting characters are back, many played by different actors.Scott Howard from the first film, couldn't and I'm sure didn't want to be here, so instead we have his cousin Todd. Todd is going to college on a sports scholarship, even though he's poor at sports and really smart. The Dean, played by John "Gomez" Astin, for some stupid reason has a vendetta on Todd and is out to make sure he fails. Of course, Todd luckily figures out he's a werewolf on the first or second day of college, and dumb humor and bad dialog ensues. The first thing Todd does when he finally figures out that he's a full fledged werewolf, is break into perfectly choreographed dance singing "Do You Love Me?", which somehow makes him popular. Also his werewolf powers make him a jerk, so the girl he just met thinks he doesn't love her anymore. He also starts a frog fight in science class where all the college students begin throwing dead frogs...but luckily the teacher comes in and says she's disappointed, not caring that these adults just did this. Obviously the writing was just ridiculous.Overall this was a somewhat enjoyable film...in a laughing at it's awfulness way.My rating: 1/2 out of ****. 91 mins. PG for some violence.
The poor relation
posted on 16 Jul 2008A poor sequel and a pretty dreadful film. Jason Bateman does his charming best but yoked with the worst of 80s fashions, a dreary cast, (especially the adults) and the unshakable fact that you simply can't do the original concept twice he's done for.Well, all that and he isn't Michael J Fox. Teenwolf worked because no-one was average and so the Wolf's only recourse, dramatically, was to become the young man again. Bateman's appeal is that he is rather average, a nascent everyman. The only interest in this movie is ticking off the sequence of events from the first, reworked and reappearing in order with glazed eyes. 2/10
Teen Wolf Remake
posted on 28 Jun 2008This sequel is REMARKABLE. It's note for note the exact same film as Teen Wolf, with boxing replacing basketball (and Jason Bateman as a fourth string Michael J Fox)But more importantly, I'm one of the four people in this country who saw this in the theaters. In fact, that night I was recovering from surgery on my left shoulder, and my friend's lab had just bitten my right hand. We went to Teen Wolf too thinking the day could not have gotten worse. Whoops.Instead of renting this, I recommend getting bitten by a dog. Or watch the last scene of Teen Wolf 1. A guy has his pants unbuttoned and tries desperately to cover up in the last shot. L Man
Revenge of the 80's meets the Dustbin Dwellers: Meaningless sequels that are so bad that they have no entertainment value.
posted on 07 Jun 2008Teen Wolf Too (1987) bites. Why on earth did they make a sequel to a marginally "successful" movie. The original lame movie spawned a Saturday morning cartoon series and this god awful movie. It's so terrible. If you thought part one was bad you ain't seen nothing yet. Teen Wolf Too is so bad that it makes part one look like an Academy Award winning film. Dude, why did they make this movie? What were the film-makers thinking? I know that this movie was made during the 80's and they made an obligatory sequel (they were mandatory during the 80's, if a film made the slightest of profit a sequel was on it's way).I can't express my displeasure in this movie. There was no reason for it to ever see the light of day. I can't find one. Can you?Bad movie, beyond words...Runaway! Runaway!!
They shouldn't have made a sequel
posted on 09 Jan 2008Well, I love Teen Wolf, and I absolutely hate this movie. I hate the way they got different actors for Coach Finstock and Stiles. The plot is nowhere near as interesting, the dialogue is not funny, and the musical numbers are terrible.I think that Jason Batemen could have had a decent career if not for the failure of this lousy movie. I thought that it was much more interesting in the first movie for a boy to find out that he was a werewolf when he thought werewolves were a myth than in this film were a college guy finds out he's a werewolf when he thought he wasn't like all the other freaks in the family.The other thing this film lacked was an endearing love story like the charming affair between Boof and Scott.Save yourself some pain--watch Teen Wolf twice instead of watching Teen Wolf Too.
Just When You Thought It Could Not Get Any Worse
posted on 22 Dec 2007Man this is a scary world we live in. It is amazing to me that a movie as awful as "Teen Wolf" could make enough money to warrant a sequel. It did though and the result is a film that is even worse than the very poor original. This time Jason Bateman learns that he can become a werewolf whenever he wants to once he starts attending college. He turns out to be the cousin of Fox's character from the first film. Sophomoric and amazingly bad, send this wolf out to slaughter. Turkey (0 out of 5 stars).
so nice
posted on 23 Oct 2007i 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.
Not the greatest movie, but remember who it is targeting
posted on 05 Apr 2007I haven't read too many good reviews of this movie and I think that is because the reviewers are forgetting the point to this movie. This movie was not targeting adults. I would assume that this movie is directed to kids who are about Junior High age. A good example of this is the scene toward the beginning in the dance hall. The president of the university comes up to Todd, who is his pride and joy because he is going to turn the boxing program around because of Todd's super-hero type skills. What is the first thing that the president offers to Todd? A gorgeous blonde who he had already met. After some polite conversation, he grabs her butt, which triggers the wolf to come out of him. Think back to when you were in Junior High. Didn't you want to be a super-hero type to come in and be a successful athlete and grab the butts of beautiful women? Like I said, this isn't the greatest movie ever, but I am sure that in 1987, it did have it's audience.
what a blast!
posted on 20 Jan 2007If you like Teen Wolf, you'll like Teen Wolf Too practically almost the same amount. It's a great movie, really. You just have to be able to make fun of it. It's one of those great bad movies.Jason Bateman's hair basically makes the movie worth your while, as does the shoddy special effects and semi-awful wolf costume.Particularly notable moments include the horrible sound editing during the first boxing match, and the moment in which Todd first transforms.Plus, there's a musical number! C'MON PEOPLE!I bought it because of Jason Bateman. But I loved it because of it's heart, humor, and generically bland plot and stunning clichés.But I really did actually enjoy it.Seriously.I'm not even being sarcastic.I sort of wish they'd gotten rid of those suspenders Jason was so fond of though.
Bad, dog, bad!
posted on 06 Dec 2006This movie is awful! What were they thinking making a sequel to this movie? Michael J. Fox - who made the first film watchable - is gone, with his so-called "cousin" filling in for him. This is a complete recycling of the original, even with the basketball filled in with boxing. I hated, hated, hated this movie - with a vengeance! Burn all copies!!!
I couldn't stop laughing...
posted on 15 Nov 2006maybe it was the psychedelic mushrooms I ate.It's so incredibly bad, that I laugh every time I think about it.I don't think I could ever watch it again. Certainly not sober, maybe if there were a good MST3K treatment of it.A great example of the greed that runs Hollywood.1/10
Sweet Merciful God Why?
posted on 10 Sep 2006After a lifetime of watching movies and searching for the greatest moment in cinematic history, I've finally found it. Is it Orson Welles' breathless death-rattle of `. . . rosebud.' In Citizen Kane? No. How about Al Pacino giving Fredo the kiss of death in Godfather II? Try again. What about Peter Finch screaming into the Network camera `I'm mad as hell, and I'm not gonna take it ANYMORE!' . . . not even close.Are you ready? Here it is: the greatest moment in contemporary motion picture history is . . . in Teen Wolf Too when Jason Bateman (as the Wolf) runs across the park, leaps through the air in slow motion, and comes down with a Frisbee in his mouth-all without losing that stupid hat he had on!Oh, but this film is peppered with other fantastic gems. Like the part where the Wolf and Chubby where cruising around in the University Corvette (what, your school didn't have one?) and they almost ran that guy on the bike over and the Wolf just kept laughing and laughing--good times; or what about when Chubby was in the ring and he bounced the smaller guy into the ropes, put his hand on his hip, twirled his fist and knocked the kid out; ew! ew! ew! I know! What about when the Wolf was singing `Do You Love Me!' Remember? When he had that little suit on and he was strutting his choreographed stuff with the team of wannabe Solid Gold Dancers? Box office dynamite!I don't remember a huge portion of this film, because the part of my brain that controls my higher cognitive functions shut down somewhere between the part where Chubby farts and Stiles sits in the smell and the part where the science teacher walks away from Gomez Addams with a tail wagging from under her skirt. Just thinking about it makes my lobes tingle and go numb.If there was one thing worse than the moron who played Stiles in Teen Wolf, it has got to be the guy that played Stiles in Teen Wolf Too. Oh my God that guy was horrible. The only highlight of this movie was when Stiles gets punched-out in between rounds of the big climactic fight scene-I like it because I've convinced myself that it was an outtake and he REALLY got hit. Take THAT Stuart Fratkin! What was he thinking? `Yeah, I landed a SWEET gig on Teen Wolf Too-I'm STILES! Just the springboard my career needs!' Yeah, look out DeNiro, here comes Stuart Fratkin.My buddy Marc brought this movie over to my house and I'm not sure what to think. This is the same friend that exposed me to Pumpkinhead 2. The only thing I can figure is that he is one of many alien infiltrators sent to Earth to use bad movies to brainwash people into a zombie-like trance, making way for an alien take over. To those in a similar circumstance, I say RESIST! You're not taking my soul with Teen Wolf Too, Marc! I'm on to you fella!
Not TOO bad...
posted on 31 Jan 2006Hmm, after seeing "Teen Wolf Too" at the #36 on the bottom 100 films, I wasn't expecting much. But merely the fact it rates so low was enough to make me check
it out, plus that I liked the first movie. Like the other reviews, I can't really say it's a well-made movie in sense of story, action, script; but I don't find the movie all that bad... it has some nice
sequences, especially in the beginning, and I'm positive that I've seen what's worse more than once before.
For the 'cash-cow' sequel thing, I didn't think Blade 2 was a much better movie. And that is getting a 3rd...4/10
Woof!
posted on 18 Oct 2005The only surprise on offer here is that it took as long as two years to bash out a cash-in sequel that copies from the original as lazily as this one. 'Teen Wolf' is an underrated corker and it causes me physical pain to watch this leaden hack job rehash that film's entire plot – and I mean the ENTIRE plot – with a slavish desperation that stops just short of editing in footage from its template movie. The original has charm, engaging characters, an excellent soundtrack, Michael J. Fox, and it's very, very funny. This sequel has none of that, plus a lot of other things it should have but doesn't. Jason Bateman is saddled with make-up that makes him look like Cornelius from 'Planet of the Apes' has had a nasty run-in with a belt sander, while the recasting of two major characters from the first film (Finstock and Stiles) is just rubbing salt in the wound. The only thing to be said in its favour is that it's better than the appalling cartoon series. But so what?
I'll admit it, I like it
posted on 11 Jul 2009This is by far the worst rated movie on IMDb that I admittedly like. Maybe it's because I loved this movie and its former when I was a young kid, but I still watch this movie with joy. Now that I'm older, I do see the reason why it is such a poor film. It lacks originality and top notch acting. It is just a college version of the original "Teen Wolf" that deems it unnecessary and unworthy of a sequel. However, I really like Jason Bateman and I think he's good in even this film. The only justifiable means that I can use to compare this movie as being better than its former is that it always made more sense to me that a werewolf participate in a combative sport (such as boxing) over basketball. But yeah, I know this movie is crap. But we all have our guilty pleasures.
