Jason Bateman is no Michael J. Fox. Ouch.

And "Teen Wolf Too" is not as good as "Teen Wolf". BIG ouch.

Not that the original had anything going for it except for Fox, but this sequel doesn't even try. Just a change of locale and a COUSIN in the same family (explaining Hampton's appearance here) who gets on the boxing team as the wolf in question, forcing his grades to suffer, and blah and blah and blah....

Give me a break. For a comedy as insubstantial as this one to expound on the virtues of education is like Joey Buttafuoco talking about celibacy. I'm sorry, but "Teen Wolf Too" is just a bad excuse for a sequel to a movie that wasn't that great to begin with. Forget about it.

No stars and no excuses for "Teen Wolf Too": the movie that proves a movie about a wolf can just as easily turn into a dog.

I liked Teen Wolf. It was fun, charming and likable without being a masterpiece. However, this sequel is horrible in every regard. Not even Jason Bateman's hotness can save it, particularly seeing as his acting here is not very good and that's an understatement. The rest of the acting is poor, that is including Kim Darby and John Astin, and it doesn't help that their characters are written so badly. The production values, especially the editing are shoddy, the story is predictable and feels like a rehash and the writing is clunky. Even the soundtrack isn't as infectious this time round. Overall, a horrible film. 1/10 Bethany Cox

On the success of Teen Wolf for Michael J. Fox another Teen Wolf film was certainly in the offing. Fox declined to do the remake probably thinking there ain't no way he was going to be doing college basketball. Jason Bateman got the part for the remake and he plays Fox's cousin. As the film opens it's James Hampton who played Fox's father driving Bateman to college as a freshman.

Where of all things Bateman is in on a boxing scholarship. I've never heard of one of these, but John Astin who overacts outrageously as the dean of the college wants a boxing team badly. Maybe even more than Philip Ober did for his army company in From Here To Eternity. Bateman's only activity resembling sports was playing clarinet in the school band.

But Paul Sand knows of the pedigree in Bateman's family. He's the athletic coach and where there's one Teen Wolf there might be another. As you would suspect, the inner wolf comes out.

Teen Wolf Too is a mediocre comedy with gags borrowed from other and better films of the genre. It's not as bad as some would have it, but it sure didn't create any demand for a third Teen Wolf film.
