Teen Wolf movie review
posted on 20 June 2008
You would think that a movie about a dorky teenager who turns into a wolf and subsequently becomes cool would be a modern day classic from over 15 years ago. I mean hello, Teen Wolf surfing on top of a van equals totally bitchen. But you'd be wrong. Wolftastic!!!!
I guess it's all a matter of perspective. I originally saw this during the big werewolf craze of the 80's, you remember Werewolf High, or Dr.Wolfenstein, or Weed Smoking Werewolves from the Planet Pot, so naturally just like those movies, this one should stand the test of time right? Wrong!
When I was younger I was easily amused, I needn't worry about breasts or illegal drugs or promiscious sex, I just wanted werewolves! But now that I'm older, my tastes have matured, and if I'm going to use my hard earned money from my unemployment checks, I'm gonna require some hardcore wolf sex and or some hardcore wolf drug abuse. Niether of these happens in Teen Wolf.
What happens instead is this. Alex P. Keaton isn't making it with the ladies, aka some hot Blonde Chick. Even though his best friend who looks kind of like Phoebe Cates but not really has a major girl boner for him, of course he's oblivious. But what's this? He starts turning into a werewolf. And now all of a sudden, he's totally cool. I mean this makes total sense right? Because in high school kids never pick out the weird kid and harass him, no no, individuality is not only encouraged amongst adolescents, it is rewarded! Not only is he cool, but he's an outstanding basketball player, because as we all know, werewolves invented basketball.
So now Alex P.Keaton gets to have sex with the Hot Blonde Chick, cuz like dude she totally wants to F him. But he has to be the wolf since she only has sex with animals. Now I know what you're saying, "Dude, you said there wasn't any sex in this movie!" Well they don't show anything! I mean I understand you can't show penetration, but hello a little dry humping never hurt anyone!
The only good thing in this movie is a character named "Styles." What a sweet name. Oh also the surfing on the van thing. That was Rad.
All in all a let down. Like I said, if there had been some awesome sex or drugs I would've been appeased. I mean I guess this movie would be good if I was having sex and doing drugs whilst watching it, but even then, that would have to be like having sex with the chick from that Whitesnake video while snorting the best in top grade Colombian Cocaine off her ass. Or some pot.
