Teen Wolf

Teen Wolf has quietly become one of the more dependable comedies currently available in Australia on MGM Amazon Channel, and in the US on Hoopla. The runtime earns every minute, with nothing here that feels like padding. 1,270 viewers have already rated it on TMDB — the kind of consensus that does not happen by accident. Michael J. Fox's performance alone is worth the time investment. Put it on tonight on MGM Amazon Channel and see for yourself.

There is a reason Teen Wolf keeps coming up in conversation. Sharp writing and a well-matched ensemble are what separate Teen Wolf from the crowd. When a shy teenager's new-found powers help him score at basketball - and with the popular girls - he has some pretty hairy decisions to make. Michael J. Fox and James Hampton lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was released in 1985. The timing in Teen Wolf is precise enough that even the throwaway lines land on a second watch. It knows exactly what it is, and does not try to be anything else.

Comedy fans looking for a reliably funny watch will find it in Teen Wolf. It rewards viewers regardless of what else is in their watch history. It is a manageable watch, easy to fit into a single evening. Michael J. Fox anchors an ensemble with real chemistry. Genuinely funny, consistently, across the whole run.
