Good story, Not enough for a whole film

This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

After a huge success Back to the Future Michael J. Fox next movie Teen Wolf,here in Brazil the title was change to "the Boy from the Future" no make sense but works and was a hit in the mid 80',the picture made for teenagers only...the plot is simple as the result too,about a boy who isn't popular in school and also in basketball too....but he felling that your body is changing to werewolf,late he discover that your father also is a werewolf,this scene saves the movie...the remain of this picture is a trash!!

Teen Wolf isn't your Oscar winner, it isn't that one movie that gets you sobbing every time, and it certainly isn't a movie that lets you down either, it's an overall fun film to watch with family and it definitely has its moments.As if homework weren't already hard enough, high school loser Scott Howard starts noticing some odd changes as he is transformed into a teenage werewolf. His enhanced abilities and scary new look quickly make him a star on the court and the most popular kid in school, but as Scott begins to lose himself in "the animal," he must learn that with great power comes great responsibility. This film rest solely on the charming, pitch-perfect performance of Fox and re-watching this today, it is still his performance that raises the film above it's script. Probably the biggest surprise is, how easily everyone accepts Scott's transformation into his alter-ego, without so much as a pitchfork or torch on display. This is all the more surprising given that the 80's weren't particularly known for being accepting of minorities or people who were different. Near the end when that song, 'Shooting for the Moon' starts, it sends a shiver down my spine every time. Soundtrack is just awesome with groovy sound of 80's pop rock joints including Robert Palmer, Amy Holland, The Beach Boys etc.All in all, this is such an awesomely bad movie. I really do enjoy it, but mostly because I was quite young when i fist saw it on TV. If you are 30, 40 years old and you still haven't seen Teen Wolf, you probably never will... but for the rest of us, who grow up with this film, it would be a still memorable classic of retro collections.Overall rating: 6 out of 10.

The corniest movie to ever spawn a sequel and a TV series. It makes little sense, even less when you consider some of the lines in it, like, "Do the right thing. That's all I want to do" There is no moral, there is no justice. But I watched it dozens of times. As movies go, it works to make a person feel good, somehow. Maybe what is good about this super corny movie, it is just the music. "Shooting for the Moon" by Amy Harding is a tremendous ending song, one of the most beautiful songs, I ever heard. Maybe it is a nice ending that couples tremendous cheers with the main character, getting something right, finally after apparently getting so much wrong throughout the movie. Maybe it is Boof, (Susan Urisitti). She is very likable. Maybe I can't explain it logically. But I like it.

I first saw it with my mother and sister back then, when I myself was a teenager (just in junior high school, BTW.) It was a hideous-looking movie that may actually teach young people to do bad things, like throw sleazy parties where kids wrestle nude in that nasty white goo, dance on top of the moving van, and young tramps get naked in front of the kid (no wonder we have a very serious problem with teen pregnancies, BTW.) But then again, I am hearing-impaired, so I really didn't hear the hidden message in the movie at the time. So oh, well - as long as young viewers aren't stupid enough to do stuff like that in some scenes! :P
