Now here's a comedy you can really sink your teeth into. Michael J. Fox played a teenager entering puberty (hence starting to change to a werewolf on a regular basis), even though he was 22 or 23 when it was filmed. I wish I could have looked that way.

The story starts with Scott Howard wondering what was going on with his body and afraid of the changes he was going through. The shiitake really hit the fan when he starts changing into a werewolf for the very first time. That's when he finds out that he comes from a whole line of werewolves, including his father. After he finds out that no one's afraid of the wolf, he uses it to gain popularity at his high school.

Scott has a crush on one of the popular girls at the school and it's his aim to make her his girlfriend. All the while, he ignores another girl that's been his friend for years. The last scene of the movie has Scott not using his wolf-power to take advantage of his final shot in a basketball game, and he makes it as plain old ordinary Scott. When the popular girl goes to meet him after the game, he ignores her while going to his lifelong friend, who he suddenly realizes is the girl for him in the first place.

Starring Michael J. Fox, James Hampton, Susan Ursitti, Jerry Levine and others. Here's a trailer:
