This is a pretty tawdry awful 1997 sequel to the truly great dark comedy AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON (1981).
The original film had brilliant stop-motion special effects and puppets and worked well. This has CGI and works badly - it shows too much too soon too.
The original film had a brilliant soundtrack, esp Werewolves of London by Warren Zevon. This has 'meh' forgettable tunes.
The original film had great believable characters. This has stereotyped grunge American embarrassment Spring Break spoilt slackers touring Europe.
The plot just about hangs together, and goes somewhere - the end twists work.
A silly subplot hinting at a a neo-Nazi-ish werewolf gang does not. Nor does the atrocious script esp the British driver whose lines are something out of a 1930s stage melodrama. They really should get some real Brits to write real British dialogue - then they can make the Americans say 'Swell' a lot like in 1940s US movies eh?
Nice to see Pere La Chaise cemetery and Jim Morrison''s grave again - the location looks real, no idea if it is. The original 1981 film was the last to be given permission to film in Piccadilly Circus, apparently. That is a great classic film. This is not.
2 stars. Just
