Jakemcclake 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.

DocMetsy This is indeed a masterwork. There's so many layers that it's difficult to know where to begin! But, let's start with the brilliant title. Teen Wolf...TOO. As in: Teen Wolf, Also. Or Teen Wolf, As Well. This sly and ingenious inside joke no doubt refers to the once controversial and now celebrated decision to cast Jason Bateman in the leading role as opposed to Michael J. Fox. The title seems to be saying....yes, Michael J. Fox shone brightly as Scott. But, guess what, world? There's ANOTHER Teen Wolf. Yes, Jason Bateman along with his indelible creation, Todd, is a Teen Wolf too.And what a Teen Wolf he was! Bateman inhabits the role of Todd. It's impossible to distinguish where the actor and the character begins. Which is a nice segue into the remarkable make-up and effects. When Todd finally transforms in a beautifully paced scene racked with tension, we are transported by the make-up. Here we are, looking at a teen wolf! And yet, Bateman's performance is so committed, so brave and so genuine, that we never forget....(can't believe I'm actually getting emotional writing this)....it's still Todd in there.I find it hilarious that critics of this film claim that it's a rehash of the first film. First of all, Todd is a completely different Teen Wolf as the title states right out of the gate. Secondly, boxing and basketball have nothing in common other than the fact that they're both sports. I suppose The Natural and Kingpin are identical films as well? Spare me. As Syd Field can tell you, all films follow a similar formula. It's short-sightedness and bias that prevent folks from appreciating just how strikingly different Teen Wolf Too is.

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.

Wizard-8 I saw the first "Teen Wolf" movie when it first came out on video. The fact that it's taken me more than twenty years to see the sequel should tell you what I thought of the first movie, even though I was in the target audience (teenagers) at the time. Well, guess what - this sequel manages to be even worse! It's a lazy sequel, for one thing following the basic plot of the first movie (Teen is a loser, teen finds out he can change into a werewolf, teen gets drunk with power, teen becomes a real jerk, teen realizes he's been a jerk, teen plays in sports tournament at climax intentionally not using his werewolf powers.) To make matters worse, this time around this plot moves at a snail's pace, with only sporadic attempts at humor (all of which crash to the ground.) Jason Bateman here is a bland presence, alternately being whiny or befuddled. The only good thing I can say about this movie is that unlike many other '80s comedies, this one isn't very dated in its fashions and other cultural touches.
