Movie Reviews of Teen Wolf & Teen Wolf Too
Movie Review: How to be a teen wolf twice
Summary: 5 Stars
Here's a pairing of two rather unique movies on a dual-side DVD, the original Teen Wolf staring Michael J. Fox and its less-successful sequel, Teen Wolf Too with Jason Bateman. The first film deals with the struggles of Scott Howard, a high school student fed up with being average, until he discovers he's inherited a fantastic gift; moments of heightened emotional state transform him into The Wolf. The real problem is how he lets it affect his social life, his academic life and his athletic life . . . and what he has to do to overcome the problem.
Teen Wolf Too is the lesser-known story of a cousin named Todd Howard trying to cope with the pressures of being a college freshman, tied in with an unexpected athletic responsibility (as a boxer) and the burden of living up to the events of the previous story. He thinks he didn't receive the capacity to turn into a wolf the way Scott did, and he's completely surprised to discover that The Wolf is a part of him. Not only does being the wolf help Todd to excel in the ring, but he gets stuck up and allows the same things to happen to himself that happened to Scott.
When I first saw this DVD package, I didn't even know about Teen Wolf Too. When I watched Too, I did enjoy it a good deal. At the same time, I have to admit to knowing what prevented it from being more commercially successful. People had already seen much of that film's turns of events in the original (down to Jason Bateman's voice turning demonic in the registrar's office, something which happened with Fox). One key element that differs from the original film is that Todd Howard's biology professor is highly supportive of Todd, even when his performance plummets. Her secret is revealed to the dean near the end of the film - that The Wolf is also a part of her.
Another difference is that, when the original was produced, the songs woven into the score were all composed by film scorer Miles Goodman and lyricist Douglas Brayfield (save the Beach Boys' "Surfin' USA"). Teen Wolf Too depended more heavily on non-original music than on its own score.
The significance of these two films being packaged together lies largely in the show, Family Ties, in which Jason Bateman's older sister, Justine starred as one of Michael J. Fox' sisters. Jason was also a cast member of Little House on the Prairie at the close of Season 7 and during all Season 8; boss and star Michael Landon also starred in I was a Teenage Werewolf in 1957. (In addition, five years previous to the original Teen Wolf, Michael J Fox had debuted in the Disney film Midnight Madness with David Naughton, who reached worldwide acclaim in An American Werewolf in London during 1981.)
