That was an excellent one.

Best movie ever!

Admirable film.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Terribly unfunny juvenile comedy that has clever references to old horror movies, actors and characters, but never tried to be clever or funny on its own. A cast of familiar faces try ardently to make the lines fly, but they just lie there like a corpse. Susan Blakeley is mom, John Schuck is dad, and that's all I'm mentioning ad far as the actors playing members of this family. The less said about the rest, the better. Poor John Saxon must have been embarrassed as the werewolf who makes Blakeley his victim, apparently while sucking on her toe! If that visual doesn't turn you away, then, well...I'm sorry.There have been numerous attempts to repeat the success of "Young Frankenstein", but the writers didn't force the comedy on you like incisors on a victim's aorta. The jokes fail miserably. I did laugh at Ruth Buzzi as a gypsy with a Bela Lugosi accent and Lucy Lee Flippen attempting to be a sexpot nurse. But for the dentist scene, the noise of files and drills on Blakeley's fangs had me queezy to the point of hitting the fast forward button. As they say, comedy is the toughest form of entertainment to pull off. Even at his most desperate, Mel Brooks pulled it off better than this.

This is a "does what it says on the tin" type of comedy horror. It's about a suburban housewife who finds herself bitten by a werewolf and subsequently transforms into a hairy beast. There's little plotting here and zero characterisation, just a series of lame jokes and set-ups which have dated badly since first release.I'm not sure whether this broad, scattershot spoof would have been funny at the time anyway. Crown International Pictures certainly had a history of churning out cheap-looking, poorly-acted movies and MY MOM'S A WEREWOLF is no exception. Susan Blakely was once a starlet in the likes of THE TOWERING INFERNO but is pretty poor in the titular role, it has to be said. John Saxon plays the urbane werewolf catalyst and is a lot better, even if you do feel a bit embarrassed for him.One of the best things about this film is the inclusion of a horror-loving character who has all kinds of movie posters in their bedroom. Forrest J. Ackerman cameos and there's even a highlight in the form of an early visit to a horror store where cheesy old movies are discussed. This alone is what lifts MY MOM'S A WEREWOLF from the doldrums into a merely bad film. Check out the werewolf costumes, which are among the worst ever put up on screen.

Not sure why I even gave this film a 2, as opposed to a 1, as it is wretched.Maybe because it is merely bad and not offensive.I cannot imagine a more uninvolving and stupid movie. But at least it captures the 80s at their worst.I suppose that counts for something.

Ah yes, My Mom's A Werewolf. Every time I see this movie I see all the stuff that made the 80's everyone's joke once the 90's came around.Here's the story:A mild-mannered suburban housewife goes out one day and meets up with a strange, dark, but quite handsome man, played by John Saxon. One thing leads to another and they end up at his apartment for a little "afternoon delight." He nibbles on her toe, and she screams out in pain and takes off.What she didn't know was her afternoon playmate was a werewolf, and the bite has caused her to slowly transform into one. A previous review already mentioned the were-wife, were-house (warehouse) joke, which was quite corny but it sure did make me chuckle.Now she has to hide her "hairy" situation from her husband, her daughter, and her daughter's best friend. I can sense the laughter coming. For the next hour or so, she succeeds.....but she can't hide it forever, you know.In short, a great "USA Up All Night" kind of movie. A little screaming, some comedy, and a few tasteless jokes here and there.Story: C Laugh Factor: B Acting: B- Overall: B
