Summary: I want my star back
Review: The star selection thingy owes me one star, because I shouldn't have had to give this movie anything except this poor review. See I want to be a cowboy. I also want to be in a movie where I'm a Navy SEAL, who used to play pro ball, but decided to kill zombies instead. That is to say, there are a lot of things in life that I just can't do. Mr. Nicholson, please stay out of my horror genre!Oh and that anyone considers this movie to be a horror film. For the love of...look, horror has to do with horrid and horrible. This is a movie that deals with the unfortunate. Unfortunately Jack's character is turning into a werewolf. Yeah that's too bad, man go get a job working at the zoo so that when you fully transform you'll already be in a place that can care for your needs. If you love these two actors, then see the movie. If you love horror films don't bother.

Summary: TOP DRAWER WEREWOLF MOVIE...
Review: This is a thinking person's werewolf movie. Well directed by Mike Nichols, it features a stellar cast who give excellent performances. Jack Nicholson, Michelle Pfeiffer, Christopher Plummer, James Spader, Kate Nelligan, and David Hyde Pierce all contribute to the successful execution of this sophisticated and subtle horror film. As an added bonus, those of you who are devotees of the TV series, "Friends", should look for David Schwimmer's cameo appearance in the film. Jack Nicholson plays a middle aged, married, senior book editor for a publishing company. Driving home at night from a business trip in New England, he hits an animal on the road. When he gets out of his car to check on the condition of the animal, he discovers it to be a wolf. What happens next will change the course of his life forever. When Jack gets back to his office, he is feeling the after effects of his interaction with the wolf. He is also concerned about his job, as his publishing house has been taken over by Christopher Plummer. Jack initially plays his character as a somewhat laid back, nice guy, a good man who doesn't see the knife being plunged into his back by his young, ambition driven underling, played with obsequious perfection by James Spader, until it is too late. Publishing is, indeed, a dog eat dog world. Betrayed by his underling who has been given his job, Jack finds himself undergoing a subtle, physical metamorphosis. He no longer needs reading glasses, his hearing is extremely acute, and he has a keen, very keen, sense of smell. It is these enhanced senses that lead him to discover that his wife, well played by Kate Nelligan, has shockingly betrayed his love and devotion, causing him to leave her. It is a betrayal that is to have dire consequences for her. Finding himself more robust and aggressive, literally a new man, Jack goes on the attack and, and with the aid of his loyal underling, played to perfection by David Hyde Pierce, gets his job back. He aggressively asserts himself with Spader and lets him know, in no uncertain terms, who is top dog. There is a memorable scene to this effect. In the process of regaining his life, Jack falls in love with the boss's beautiful daughter, played with gritty charm by Michelle Pfeiffer, and she with him. Still, Jack finds himself battling his inner demons over his change. The transformation of Jack is subtle, and there is very lttle use of special effects to enhance his metamorphosis. Jack is often able to convey to the viewer what he is undergoing with a flick of the eyebrow, a twitch of the nose, a curl of the lips. It is a wonderful piece of acting and a tribute to the power of suggestion. Certain events transpire that make Jack fear that his transformation will result in injury to Michelle. She eventually buys into his fear, misinterpreting certain events that take place. What he and she ultimately discover is that they both, in fact, have a great deal to fear, but that their initial fear was misplaced. Look to a great finale. If you are the type of horror film fan who likes excessive gore, as well as many high tech, special effects, this is not the film for you, as there is very little of that in this film. This is a subtle, multi-layered, symbolic type of horror film that will leave the viewer analyzing what they just saw. It is simply a great werewolf film.

Summary: Intelligent horror film/character study
Review: This is an interesting film, because it's partly a character study of a tired, middle aged publisher and partly a horror film about werewolves. Jack Nicholson plays a publisher about to lose his job to his friend and protege, who also happens to be sleeping with his wife. He seems too worn out to put up much of a fight, until he is bitten by a dying wolf, and begins to feel as if he has taken on its spirit. He also falls for the incredibly beautiful daughter of his boss (Michelle Pfeiffer). This movie has top notch acting, an intriuging story and a cool ending. I recommend it.

Summary: a real dissapointment
Review: to be 100% honest with you, this movie stunk! i was really looking forward to it as a fan of both jack nicholson as well as this genre of movies in general. fact of the matter is, the script & storyline was weak. gave great acting talents very little to work with. the special effects were bad. the sole shining moment was jack whizzing on another fella's shoes, but even that is not worth suffering through such a monumental dissapointment!

Summary: Great Werewolf movie.
Review: Underrated but very good Werewolf movie with Jack Nicolson
and Michelle Phiffer. It's about a Business man who is bitten
by a Werewolf and suddenly gets strange effects on him, it's
a Horror comedy and a romance combined plus it stars David
Spader as well. Other similar movies i would recommend: Evil Dead II, An American Werewolf in London, Dracula ( 1992), Link, Suspiria,
and Re-Animator.

Summary: The Wolf in Us All
Review: Who wouldn't love a movie with Jack Nicholson, Michelle Pfeiffer and James Spader? I totally enjoyed this movie!Ok, as a huge horror fan, I liked the setting. A publishing house in the city. Unique and what better place than the corporate world for 'cut-throat' wolf behavior?The beginning is always the same--man gets bit by wolf, man becomes wolf and an ending. So, what makes this different? The storytelling.This movie has interesting visuals that aren't just blood and gore. The viewer is focused on the 'how' and not the 'kill'. Jack is wonderful in his portrayal of a man discovering the wolf inside. Maybe it has always been there?Michelle Pfeiffer plays the intriguing character of the Rich Boss's daughter who is naturally drawn to the man her father despises.It's the details that make this movie. The viewer is in the position of Pfeiffer's character and learns along with her. The story doesn't rely on misgivings but rather on the essence of a wolf.The ending leaves the viewer with a wolfy grin. I enjoyed this movie from beginning to end because it did what all good movies do--let me become part of the movie and left me wanting more. Discover the sure signs that a wolf lurks at your workplace-- by watching this flick!
