I remember actually liking this as a 13 or 14 year old, anyway it was on cable yesterday and I watched it....the Fox to werewolf special effects hold up well.......the basketball is still crap and features nothing special on defense.
Fox plays the average Joe type pining for the popular girl whose dating the jock form a different school and rival basketball team, his team sucks of course and at this rate he'll never get the girl... nothing like a family curse to turn things around....long story short Fox turns werewolf and fuck it instead of hiding it he flaunts it and all of a sudden he's Chris Mullin out there....the team goes from last to first , some terrible 80's music features here in the basketball scenes, no one really thinks it's odd that a student turns in to a werewolf in this town.....Wolfie wins the girl buuuuuuuuuuuuut......is blind to the affections of his best friend Boof who has always loved him.....Some Kind of Wonderful?......did Hughes steal from this?
The ending is not to be missed as Fox refuses to play the biggest game of the season against the jerks team as a werewlf.... dammit he's going to beat them as his true self...cue bad music and even worse basketball...the basketball scenes in this movie are so bad they really stick out.........speaking of sticking out....I couldn't help but notice only the most token of token black persons in this movie .....a movie that could loosely be seen as talking about treating people who look different with respect yyybbb it features nothing but white people..
