A Quick Commentary on the film: “Teen Wolf”

January 7th, 2010

For those of you unfamiliar with the 80’s film “Teen Wolf“, I point to the ever-useful Wikipedia:

Teen Wolf is an American film released on August 23, 1985 by Atlantic Releasing Corporation starring Michael J. Fox as Scott Howard, a high school student who discovers that his family has an unusual pedigree when he finds himself transforming into a werewolf.

Michael J. Fox… is back from the future in a NEW COMEDY …” where he’s a seventeen year old high school kid on his basketball team… sick of being average and wishing he were special …” So he turns into a werewolf

What makes this tragic tale of high school romance and body hair so unbelievable is not, as you might suspect, that a high school student transforms into a mythical creature at inopportune times. No. What makes this tale so unbelievable is that any basketball team in history – from professional to the lowliest high school team – would ever in a million years choose a four foot tall Canadian to play on their team.
