Review of Teen Wolf

Teen Wolf (1985)
7/10
Enjoyable, Albeit Cheesy Flick
26 February 2011
Despite a thick layer of cheese poured over the entire film, "Teen Wolf" is a campy, classic comedy of the 80's. Michael J. Fox stars as Scott Howard, a high school student who's going through changes, one of which being that he happens to be a werewolf. He eventually is able to turn the situation positive when he uses his werewolf persona to become the star of the basketball team and the new cool guy on campus. This movie is incredibly entertaining despite being cheap-looking and cheesy at times. The story is clichéd by today's standards, and it feels slightly dated, but for me that just increases the likability of it. The jokes hit fast and funny, and there's numerous memorable scenes and it ends up leaving you desiring more, and that's always a good sign when you don't want the movie to be over. Even though we never got a good follow-up to Teen Wolf, the original is still a classic film that was a huge part of my childhood and to this day remains to be a really fun movie despite some plot holes and cheesy dialogue and whatnot. I highly recommend it
