I've loved the work of Carly Craig for years - humour that often crosses a line but brings the laughs along. If you like "New Girl" and "Cougar Town" but feel they were missing a woman in her 30s trying to use a urinal, this sitcom has you covered.

With the central idea being an intention to date each of her 252 Tinder matches, you know it will only end in a series of hilarious disasters.

Underrated comedic talent!

Watching this movie nearly 40 years after its release, I've had to go back and check that it really is supposed to be a comedy. It's humorous at best, taking a silly situation and failing to do much with it.

I love Fox but this movie doesn't utilise the comedy chops we see in Back to the Future from the same year! Maybe if I'd seen Teen Wolf when it first came out, I'd have some nostalgic affection for it now(?). I believed I'd seen it back in the day but that's either a false memory or there is NOTHING in this movie that is memorable.

The movie is also filed under fantasy. Well, it has to be because of the werewolf transformation. That's it.

And it's also a 'romance' in quite a tokenistic fashion. There are no surprises on that front either.

It's like every element of this movie is not the main element - did they forget to add that?

Does he struggle with his werewolf persona? No (maybe for a minute).

Does he struggle with his romantic entanglements? Not really (no more than your average teen).

Does any of this lead to hilarious consequences? Absolutely not.

Even the music is unfamiliar - I'm guessing it was written for the movie. Some classic 80s music might have pushed my rating up ever-so-slightly.
