Crappy nominal sequel to An American Werewolf in London. It really has nothing to do with that movie besides the similar name and some ripped-off ideas. Pretty shameless cash-grab that thankfully was not well-received. It's a terrible movie with some awful performances, a script I wouldn't wipe my ass with, and some particularly shoddy CGI special effects. Tom Everett Scott has a very unappealing screen presence. I just can't with that guy. Julie Delpy is slumming here but we do get her obligatory topless scene. I don't know the names of the actors playing Scott's buddies. They were generic and forgettable so I won't bother to look them up There's very little time devoted to the werewolves, perhaps due to the poor FX. Most of the time is spent on the lame comedy. Avoid at all costs. A real waste of time.

Made in 1997 by the director, Anthony Waller, who gave us the excellent Mute Witness (1994). This was his follow-up and is to be honest a pure rip-off of An American Werewolf In London (1981). Not the story itself but the way the bitten ones return and are talking to the werewolf. Made in 1997 a year were horror was back with the public. Scream was made one year earlier and done with stupid horrors. But Scream made a heavy foundation about going back to the use of latex and real effects. This is were this flick failed. A lot of the effects are done CGI. To go even further, it's all about the CGI effects. Of course some real effects are used too but it didn't stand it's time. There's no gore to see neither. Only the victims do have some scratches here and there. But there was another reason why I watched it again after all those years. Watching Modern Family, a comedy series I came aware of Julie Bowen and here she do act as Amy. 27 years she was here and looking sexy indeed as she still does nowadays but it shows that up till now she never did any nudity. She has a sex scene on a grave but the guy undresses Julie stays clothed. Not even a glimpse of her bra. The one who did show her boobs is French actress Julie Delpy as Serafine.I's more a love story with some funny situations, watch Julie whistling on street and see what happens. Clearly made for teens, updated with the music hyped back then (Bush remember). Ideal to watch with your teens and show them that a love story can be better then the Twilight saga. Gore 1/5 Nudity 0,5/5 Effects 2/5 Story 3/5 Comedy 1/5

When I saw this movie for the first time I did honestly like it. Now I could see why I did (and that was only at a few jokes - gimme a break I was 13 at the time, and plus it isn't the most embarrassing thing I liked when I was younger). This movie doesn't really have that good of a plot. The horror in this movie is completely absent. Maybe it is that the Werewolves in this movie look like things I'd see in a Prototype game or it's that is has a complete lack of atmosphere or suspense.Some of the laughs in this movie I still laughed at. Things like when Andy was arrested and the cop says that the possibilities were limitless for what charge he was arrested with. So this movie does hold up in entertainment value in that area. But these laughs are too few and far inbetween. Not only that but those times were the only part of the movie I thought were any good.There really isn't much value in terms of "why to watch this" unless you're a completionist, 13 years old (like I was when I liked this movie) or just bored.

The movie was not boring, it did not put me to sleep however, I found this movie to be way to funny, for it's own good, it didn't find anything scary at all.The werewolf did not look scary at all and the transformations scenes were so bad, it was funny. Some parts of the movie, I didn't understand, what was happen cause some of things didn't really make sense to me.The acting was descent, The ending was just silly and also really cheesy.I going to give this 4 out of 10
