I appreciate certain actors differently as time goes by. For me Michael J Fox has been on the upswing while others, like Steve Martin, are headed in the other direction. There's nothing particularly unique about any of the elements of this movie except maybe the combination of all of them. Fox finds he can transform into a werewolf with superhuman powers - his "problem" makes him the most popular guy in high school and creates a winning basketball team. Forget that the wolf playing Fox on the court must be twice his size and four times the athlete, this movie is just a lot of fun to watch, helped considerably by Hampton as the understanding dad and Ursitti as the under-appreciated girl friend. Very rewatchable.
I do not understand how it can be so poorly classified, this movie is one of the best classics of the 80s, with a great story, beautiful soundtrack, good morals, great actors and every time you see this movie, it still looks better. Fantastic, I highly recommend it.
How anyone could not like this film is beyond me! It has everything from really hot babes ,great comedy, a wicked and inspiring ending and ofcourse Michael J. Fox.
This movie also has a brilliant soundtrack including Mark Safan's "Win in the End". The cost of the rental is worth it for this song alone.
This movie is a must see for teens and adults alike. Anyone who likes seeing the good guys triumph and has a soft spot for regular joes getting the girl and achieving greatness will appreciate this.
You'll laugh, You'll cheer, You'll Howl!!!!!

I have always enjoyed "Teen Wolf" since the first time I saw it as a child at about 10 or 11 years old. And even today I still think this is a good movie. It is just one of those types of movies that never becomes outdated.
"Teen Wolf" along with "Back to the Future" were the movies that made me become a fan of Michael J. Fox, another thing that still holds true today.
The story in "Teen Wolf" is about Scott (played by Michael J. Fox) who is a very average teenager in high school who wishes to be outstanding and special. And when he finds odd changes to his body and he turns into a werewolf he surely does become unique and special.
This is a fun and enjoyable teenage romantic comedy that is suitable for the whole family. And it is a fine movie in Michael J. Fox's career.
If you are not already familiar with "Teen Wolf" then I can more than warmly recommend that you sit down and watch it.

"Teen Wolf" is a Comedy - Fantasy movie in which we watch a high school student trying to understand what is happening to him after noticing some changes on his body. Soon he will find himself turning into a werewolf and he will have to deal with it.
I enjoyed this movie because it was funny and it had a simple but still interesting plot. There were plenty of hilarious scenes and a lot of humor. The interpretation of Michael J. Fox who played as Scott Howard was simply amazing and he made the difference. Some other interpretations that have to be mentioned were Jerry Levine's who played as Stiles, Susan Ursitti's who played as Boof and James Hampton's who played as Harold Howard. Lastly, I have to say that "Teen Wolf" is a classic 80's movie and I highly recommend everyone to watch it.

Coach Finstock: There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never go near a lady who's got a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick with that, everything else is cream cheese.
