During a family vacation to Transylvania, Tony Walker (Adam Arkin) is bitten by a werewolf. As a result, he'll live forever, but is also cursed with incurable wanderlust -- not to mention a wolfish appearance and the urge to bite other people. He drops out of high school shortly after his transformation, but later Tony regrets never playing in the big football game against a hated local rival, so one day he decides to re-enroll. While he makes new friends, his curse leads to major complications.

Teen Wolf benefits from a more charismatic lead (Michael J. Fox over Adam Arkin, though the latter isn't bad), but Full Moon High offers more laughs -- at least during the first half, after which the nyuks dry up and comic rigor mortis sets in. Go to Full Review

Abraham W Jun 28, 2017 Words cannot describe this bizarre werewolf movie. It stars Ed McMahon as a womanizing, anti-commi paranoiac (complete with bomb shelter) father of a teenager (Adam Arkin when he actually DID look like a kid) who becomes a werewolf after being not-mauled by what can only be described as a giant Teddy Ruxpin with glowing eyes and pointy ears. Our hero then proceeds to "annoy" the community by biting hot chicks on the ass...and not much more. Pretty much needs to be seen to be believed. It doesn't totally suck, so there's that. XD See more
