Teen Wolf Too (1987)
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?

Why so much hype?
That was an excellent one.
There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.
The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
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.
3.5/10 I would give it.Well I loved the original yeah it was corny but a whole load of fun, had a it had great story line and was hilarious . Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for this ''teen wolf too''.It must be said that it is exactly the same as the original but so much worse. Just replace high school with college, replace the sport from basketball to football and replace a charming, adorable Michael J. Fox with a lifeless(but very cute) Jason Bateman.Let's talk about the acting. Ha! I've seen more charisma from cardboard.The most annoying of the bunch was the love interest person how whiny and annoying she was. Okay some parts were funny and the soundtrack was okay- although not memorable. But it just wouldn't end! It's a short film (1.5 hours) but I kept checking the clock cos it felt so much longer than that!Bottom line is watch the original instead of this ridiculous drivel and accept no imitations. Unfortunately, the DVD of Teen Wolf comes with both so I'm stuck with it.
Now, I'm as big a fan of the 1985 Teen Wolf as anybody else, but when I heard there was a second movie that came out two years later? Well, you can imagine my surprise!This film has the same atmosphere and the same cinematography as the first one, which really makes me feel like they put some hard effort into keeping up the good name of "Teen Wolf"Once again, the performances are superb. I'm glad to see Mark Holton's "Chubby" character have more screen time.My one critique is I don't care very much for Stuart Fratkin's portrayal of Stiles. To be fair, it's pretty hard to follow Jerry Levine's performance.Overall, this movie was entertaining from start to finish. It's great if you want a goofy movie to watch with your friends.
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?
