 Teen Wolf Too (1987)

STARS Jason Bateman, Kim Darby, John Astin

COUNTRY United States LANGUAGE English

Streaming on: Hoopla



The plot: Jason Bateman plays Todd, cousin of Michael J. Fox's character from the first film. First world problems plague Todd at his new college, but then things get wolfy, and his popularity starts to rise. BUT AT WHAT COST?


Random observations:

  • Voted #85 of IMDb's Bottom Rated Movies
  • Jason Bateman's film debut and he's lucky it wasn't his finale.
  • Michael J. Fox turned down the chance to reprise his role mostly because he didn't want to go through the hours of makeup application
Well, those were more like random facts today as opposed to random observations, but whatever. Jason Bateman is super charming, but he can't hold a candle to Michael J. Fox.

The verdict: I can't imagine this being anyone's favorite film. If you are a werewolf or Jason Bateman completionist, you may as well watch it, but otherwise, it's sort of pointless and might make brain cells fall out of your bum.
