Movie review - "Teen Wolf Too" (1989) **

We've grown so used to Jason Bateman Mark 2 that it's a shock to remember how long he's been around. He gives a nice enough performance in this unnecessary sequel, which gets points for trying to keep continuity: we see a return of Styles (a new actor - did the old one turn it down?), Chubby, the coach, the assistant Dean, Scott's Dad. Bateman's character has more of a goal - he's really into science - and a really pretty "girl next door" co-star, with John Astin providing decent support as a greedy dean. But the adventures are almost exactly the same with boxing instead of basketball (not a good swap since boxing is individual). There's a singing-a-60s-song sequence inspired by Ferris Bueller's Day Off and two hot bad girls instead of one which creates vision of werewolf threesomes which are not followed through. 'Send Me an Angel' is on the soundtrack.
