Synopsis

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?

Linbeymusol Wonderful character development!
Artivels Undescribable Perfection
FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
Usamah Harvey The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
dworldeater Ouch, in reading some of these user reviews Teen Wolf Too is really hated. But really, don't lisen to these jabronies, this is not nearly as bad as they make it out to be. Granted, Teen Wolf is a 80's classic, I would not say the follow up is in that catagory. However, if you can overlook the fact that 80's pop culture icon Michael J Fox is not in it, the film really is'nt all that bad. It does try to copy the 1st film in many respects and is not altogether successful. But, even as a failure, it is not a bad film. It does follow the same formula for every 80's teen comedy and while it is lacking someone like Michael J Fox who could knock this out of the park, Teen Wolf Too is far from unwatchable. Jason Bateman actually gives a pretty decent performance, comparing him with Fox is'nt really fair as he is not a superstar or possessing of Michael's unique charisma and screen presence. The film is not nearly as funny as the 1st film either and at times is a bit corny. Either way, Teen Wolf Too is a decent time passer and if you take into consideration that this movie follows a lot of 80's genre conventions and won't blow you away, Teen Wolf Too is passable campy entertainment.
Yesh4 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.
Woodyanders Clean-cut college freshman Todd Howard (blandly played by Jason Bateman) becomes the star of the boxing team and the most popular guy on campus after he discovers that he's a werewolf. Christopher Leitch's by-the-numbers direction fails to bring any freshness to the hopelessly clichéd and straight-down-the-line grindingly predictable story. Tim Kring's slapdash script not only blatantly rehashes the plot of the far superior original sans any wit, charm, or warmth, but also recycles entire gags and even the central message about being true to yourself. Worse yet, two of the most amusing and entertaining characters from the first one are recast with lesser actors: Paul Sands makes for a terribly glum and mopey Coach Finstock while Stuart Fratkin grates on the nerves something painful as slick hustler Stiles. James Hampton is wasted in a minor part as Uncle Howard and Mark Holton likewise isn't given much worthwhile to do as Chubby. This picture hits its absolute groan-inducing nadir with a simply pathetic song and dance number set to the song "Do You Love Me?" and the especially dopey moment when Todd catches a Frisbee in his teeth. On the plus side, Kim Darby tries hard as the sympathetic Professor Brooks, the fetching Estee Chandler delivers an appealing performance as the sweet Nicki, and John Astin hams it up with deliciously lip-smacking brio as the slimy Dean Dunn. Only the climactic exciting rough'n'tumble boxing match manages to rise out of the mire of numbing mediocrity. Pretty stinky.
bob the moo Although he is Scott's cousin, Todd Howard has managed to dodge the "family problem" and is a perfectly normal young man starting a promising college career. Despite being very weedy and interested in becoming a vet, Todd has managed to get a sports scholarship without being sure why. Turns out that the Dean has assumed that Todd can do for the college boxing team what Scott did for his high school basketball team what with him being a werewolf and everything. Todd discovers this quickly and is keen to disappoint but his genes betray him as the "family problem" manifests itself suddenly. Overnight Todd is a star in the ring and on the campus – but can he manage this sudden change?When I read overly negative reviews of the first Teen Wolf film I can only silently shake my head and wonder what the same viewer makes of the sequel. I say this because, as basic as the original film is, Teen Wolf Too/Two/2/whatever is like the makers condensed the original film to the basics and then just put that out on as little money, time and effort as possible. It shows in all areas of the film but I have to start somewhere so I will do so with the actual story. The flow of it is this (a) studious kid doesn't really fit into school/college, (b) kid becomes werewolf, (c) kid becomes popular but also a major a**hole, (d) kid learns life lesson. OK, so you can see it is essentially the same film as the first time, with the sport and setting different. In terms of the telling of the story though, we literally jump between these parts without any gradual development between them. I'm not saying it needed a lot of complexity but maybe just one or two scenes bridging the gap between the elements – instead it will literally have 1 scene of him becoming a werewolf for the first time, then the next scene is him popular and doing a 50's twist (for some reason) at a party – not even a bridge which shows him winning over an initially hesitant campus. This is the same across the whole film and it makes it weaker as a film – a problem considering it would still have not been great with these scenes.This slapdash approach is reflected in the whole film and it is no surprise that the script is poor. The dialogue matches the "good enough" approach to the narrative – ie lines are clunky, obvious and lacking anything that would make you care enough to listen. However, producing even this level of trash was clearly too much for the writers because they appear to have been too busy to get laughs, fun or energy into the script. Visually it looks cheap. The sets are faded and unconvincing while the aim appears to have been to try and pull off "crowd" scenes with as few extras as possible. The wolf makeup is also really bad – never great of course but in Too it looks like a mask purchased at a corner store.With all this it is no surprise that the cast can do nothing with it. I feel sorry for Bateman but he is poor here and cannot do anything with the material handed to him. He has almost zero chemistry with Chandler as well – again neither of them helped by the material having no bridge between "oh hi" and "you are the love of my life". Astin must have hoped for more but, even though he has a glint in his eyes that suggests a fun role in the film, he does nothing and has nothing to do. Fratkin and Holton are both annoying and deliver nothing in the way of laughs that the writers clearly just assumed they would do on their own (wackiy guy and fat guy – practically writes itself.....errr, no, no it doesn't).The end product is not so much a terrible film in that everything was misjudged but rather a terrible film because nobody seems to have given a single, flying f**k about it from conception to final delivery. The plot is the same as the first film but yet so much worse and basic, with similar dialogue. The "feel" of the film is likewise cheap and "make-do" and it is no surprise that nobody in the cast can do much of anything with the whole affair. The only value the sequel has is making the first Teen Wolf film seem more fresh and filled with fun that it was.
