In this schizophrenic teen comedy, Michael J. Fox plays Scott Howard, an amiable young man desperate to gain popularity with his peers. His high school basketball team is pathetic, and the girl of his dreams, Pamela Wells (Lorie Griffin), repeatedly ignores his overtures of affection. To
compound his misery, Scott discovers he's a werewolf. His ears turn pointy, his fingernails become claws, and he is attuned to the high pitches of a silent dog whistle. Horrified, Scott learns from his father that this strange condition is a genetic one. Though he tries to hide his newfound secret
from his schoolmates, Scott's true nature comes out. The result is instant popularity...
