Good Movie For: People who love the feel good lesson learned story line. Fans of werewolves, the 80's and the Bateman.
So the main reason why I wanted to watch this movie was because of the amazingly complex and oscar winning screenplay... Nah, I was in it for the Bateman. Ever since I saw Jason Bateman play the father struggling with his inner teenager in Juno, I was hooked, hooked on the Batester. Apparently during the time of it's release, Teen Wolf Too was a film the was not quite up to hollywood standards. Since then however, it seems that this film has found some sort of cult following. And by god, call me Charles Manson and sign me up. With all the corny predictability and usual story line, I all in all kind of enjoyed this movie. Quite possibly because I love Jason Bateman, and his comedic chops and quick wit is still clearly present even at such a young age. Now onto another installment of the Master, the Master Batester.
