In this movie, Michael J. Fox plays an oddball teenager trying to fit in - a difficult task, especially after he discovers he's a werewolf. His family's hereditary secret is lycanthrope. But when he becomes the star of the basketball team, things don't seem so bad. This is a very cheesy film which is actually quite amusing. On a side note, it's not surprising that the movie sat on the self until Michael J. Fox became successful with the Back To The Future trilogy.
