Oh my GOSH this movie sucked. Seriously. I remember this movie back in 1985 and back then I thought this movie was AWESOME. I watched it with Emmy on Sunday afternoon and all I could think of was "how on EARTH did I think this movie NOT suck". It must have been the fact that I was (and forever will be) in love with Michael J. Fox and I was just smitten and therefore blinded by adoration. Yeah, that had to have been it.
What sucked? Well, the storyline, the effects, the plot, the acting and the "music" were all sub-par in my opinion. Watching it now makes me realize how far we have come since the days of transitioning every scene with synthesized music.
The plot of the movie is that Michael J. Fox is actually a wolf in a teen suit. He is playing basketball and loses his temper and "Wolf's Out" in front of the entire gym one day. Everyone just happens to be cool with the fact that he's half-man, half-dog and celebrate the victory. He eats up the attention and ends up being the wolf more often than the boy. Eventually he realizes that the new-found fame is not all it's cracked up to be - and the girl all the guys want isn't the greatest girl he could be with. He realizes he needs to make some changes from within so that the changes outside don't take over his life.
I have heard rumors that they are considering remaking this. They could only improve it.
