Minor Larry Cohen perhaps, but I still found it pretty darn funny & worthwhile. At its funniest it reminded me of a hybrid between Strangers With Candy and the classic WOLF MAN (1941). At its worst; parts felt like some of the lesser Zucker brothers' movies. More the former than the latter, though. Adam Arkin does his best beefcake Groucho Marx, while the rest of the ensemble is reliably goofy and colorful. Certainly preferable to the other teen lycanthrope comedies I can think of. (CURSED, TEEN WOLF, & dreck sequels like AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN PARIS). Recommended for Cohen completists & fans of joke-per-minute spoofs
