🍿 Teen Wolf Too: Detailed Plot Synopsis
Todd’s Arrival at College
Todd Howard, cousin of Scott Howard from the original ‘Teen Wolf,’ arrives at Hamilton University on a boxing scholarship, despite his lack of athletic prowess. Coach Finstock hopes Todd will follow in his cousin’s footsteps and use werewolf abilities to boost the team. Todd, however, dreams of becoming a veterinarian and is less than thrilled about his unexpected athletic scholarship. Uncle Harold assures him that the werewolf gene might skip a generation.

The First Transformation
During a reception, while dancing with Lisa, Todd undergoes his first transformation into a werewolf. Initially horrified, he is encouraged by Stiles to embrace his newfound abilities. Dean Dunn, under pressure to improve the boxing team’s performance, threatens Todd with expulsion if he loses his upcoming fight. He soon discovers his werewolf transformation grants him superhuman strength and agility, leading to victory in his first boxing match.

The Pitfalls of Fame
Todd’s newfound fame leads to popularity, top grades, and even the Dean’s car. However, he begins to neglect his friends, including Nicki, and loses sight of his initial goals. Professor Brooks warns him about the responsibilities that come with special powers. Todd realizes that the fame is fleeting and seeks advice from his uncle, Harold, about how to handle his situation.

💥 Teen Wolf Too Reviews
Personal Review
Okay, so Teen Wolf Too isn’t a cinematic masterpiece, but I have a soft spot for it. The part where Jason Bateman does the dance number in his wolf form is hilarious! Sure, it’s cheesy and the plot is predictable, but it’s a fun, goofy 80s movie that always makes me smile. I know some people hate it, but it’s my guilty pleasure and I will always remember watching this with my cousins growing up.
- Who would enjoy:
- “Fans of 80s teen comedies”
- “Viewers interested in supernatural sports movies”
- “Those looking for a lighthearted, nostalgic film”
- Content warnings ⚠:
- “Mild suggestive humor”
- “Some bullying themes”
- “Brief instances of werewolf transformation (may be frightening for very young children)”
Professional Reviews
- The Daily Howl: “Teen Wolf Too lacks the charm and wit of its predecessor. Bateman tries his best, but the recycled plot and uninspired humor leave audiences howling for a refund. While nostalgia might draw you in, be warned: this sequel is a dog’s breakfast.
- Cinema Snob: “Teen Wolf Too essentially hits all the same plot points as Teen Wolf, only with boxing instead of basketball. If you were wanting more Teen Wolf, then Teen Wolf Too will satisfy that. It also feels like it has a more cinematic look and feel as well. It’s pretty much a sequel in that the basic plot and theme is exactly the same.
Audience Reactions
The dance number in the middle of the movie is hilariously bad.: Most viewers think this is a really campy film. Jason Bateman does his best with what he has.
Overall Consensus: Despite Jason Bateman’s efforts, ‘Teen Wolf Too’ generally fails to capture the charm and originality of the first film. It is considered a weak sequel and is considered a waste of time.
