"Too" much of a bad thing....

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.

If you loved "Teen Wolf", you may want to reconsider watching "Teen Wolf Too".

"Teen Wolf" was a popular film. So, it's not surprising that the studio would want to make a sequel. The problem was that the star of the first one, Michael J. Fox, hated making "Teen Wolf" and refused to make the sequel. It's not hard to understand, as between the two films "Back to the Future" came out and shot Fox to greater stardom. So, in a pinch, the studio tossed out many of the original cast and tried to see if they could get away with it. Despite all this, the sequel still made a modest profit....though it also made IMDB's infamous Bottom 100 List. So, according to the list, this is the 62nd worst major release of all time according to users.

When the film begins, you see that Jason Bateman is playing Todd Howard....the COUSIN of Michael J. Fox's character from the first film, Scott. Oddly, Scott's father (James Hampton) is in the movie and he's acting the role of Todd's guardian. Todd is starting college (which is odd, as Bateman was 18...and rarely do roles for teens ever actually go to real teens....often they are 21-30) and he's there on an athletic scholarship but apparently didn't deserve it...much like those actors and their kids you've heard about a lot in the news recently. However, in Todd's case he could get killed, as it's a BOXING scholarship! Will Todd's lycanthropy help save him from being beaten to a pulp? And, like every teen film of the 80s, will it help him get the girl?

While I was NOT a huge fan of "Teen Wolf", it seems like "Teen Wolf Too" is a step backward in most every way. The biggest problem is the writing, as some of the characters are one-dimensional and ridiculous caricatures (especially John Astin as the Dean). They also often used slapstick instead of cleverness...and really, really bad slapstick....like the sort of stuff 6 year-olds would enjoy. Hard to watch...and easy to hate.

So, while it's bad, is it Bottom 100 bad? Probably not. But I have noticed several other film franchises have the same pattern....a film is loved by its fans and the studios create sequels that simply stink. And, because so much love existed for the first one, there's a backlash and folks not only dislike but HATE the sequels. Some examples on the Bottom 100 are "The Neverending Story III", "Son of Mask", "Jaws the Revenge", "The Human Centipede II" as well as "The Human Centipede III". The same cannot be said of "Baby Geniuses" and "Baby Geniuses II" because both films made the list and both films are god-awful.

Teen Wolf was good, Teen Wolf Too is horrible

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
