This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

I do not know where to begin with this extremely horrible movie. I as a Romanian believe that most of North America knows Romania as a country of vampires, and all they heard of is Transylvania. If an American hears a Romania speaking (and I know this from experience), they ask them, are you speaking Polish, Russian? No, we are speaking Romanian, a mixture of Dacian and the Latin language. So it offends me highly that they made all Romanians on the streets yelling like idiots with a Russian accent (not to say that they actually should be speaking Romanian, because not many Romanians know English, especially in Transylvania. You used names completely non-Romanian, such as Goran, 100% Yugoslav. Mme. Varcolac acts extremely retarded, yelling insanely- this does not represent a regular Romanian human being. Ct, Dracula, as you name it, was actually Vlad Tepes, or Vlad III, an important Romanian ruler. This film is as well an embarrassment to my country. It is junk, and I sincerely HATE it when we are called vampires. This film is useless, 1 star, I would give it less if possible.

When you are to ask an American citizen about the country "Romania", they depict it as a place of vampires, werewolves, Dracula etc... That is all they know. As of this movie, it would be strongly recommended to do some vast research on the country before you decide to film about it. This movie is just an embarrassment to Romania, it is just too much stereotypical junk. For instance, the way M. Varcolac acts very mentally challenged, and laughs like an idiot. This is only one example. Why on earth would you use the name "Wolfsberg" as a town, which doesn't even exist? It is German and not Romanian!!!! It is actually very frustrating, and disappointing that they made all the Romanians on the street crazy people, who yell with a Russian accent. As well as with Goran. "Goran" is Yugoslavian, not at all Romanian. I very strongly believe that it wasn't even filmed in Romania And in case you didn't know, Vlad Dracula, or as you Americans say it, Count Dracula is actually Vlad Tepes, who was a very important Romanian Ruler hundreds of years ago. I cannot agree more with another written review, this is just rubbish. Thanks to all of you people, everyone mistakes the real Romania with a whole bunch of monsters.

This is a great movie. It has a good plot, the casting is done well, and so are the digital effects-especially when Jordan turns back into a human being. But there are some mistakes, which are listed on the goof list. But what I enjoy is that they have found a great set, great actors-great movie. The werewolf special effects are the best, only we never get to see how the werewolves change their faces. I also like the stunts, which were greatly performed by the stunt doubles/actors. The actors have done great acting. On my TV for some reason it says it is a comedy, all though it is more of an horror movie. Overall, I think this is an amazing film and I hope it gets a better rating soon.

Having sat through this movie, as an adult, I have to say that "The Boy Who Cried Werewolf" is actually quite surprisingly good. I had expected it to be more of a sassy family movie.First of all, though being a Nickelodeon movie, the story was rather interesting, with just enough action and suspense to keep it all going. Sure, the movie borrows heavily on the old classic werewolf movies, but it does so in a good manner. And it is a good way for younger viewers to get introduced to the werewolves in movies.And the cast was superb, especially Brooke Shields. She was really good in the role of Madame V, and it was actually sort of refreshing in a way to see her in a role as bizarre as this one was. Victoria Justice, in the role of Jordan Sands, was the one carrying the movie though, being the central character and all, and she did so nicely. But also hats off to Chase Ellison, playing Hunter Sands, he came off very energetic and believable in the role he was given.The effects in the movie were actually quite good, especially for a movie of this caliber, being Nickelodeon and all. But I suspect it is because the legendary Greg Nicotero had a finger to play here. Whenever he is part of some production, it always turns out great.Oh, and before I forget. The sets and backgrounds were awesome. There were so many small and fantastic details to everything. From the town square, to the castle, and such. I love small details in movies, and the ones in "The Boy Who Cried Werewolf" actually showed there had been put a lot of effort into the production.I think "The Boy Who Cried Werewolf" actually is quite suitable for young and mature audiences alike. For the youngsters, there is a lot of action and thrills going on, and the mood is kind of brooding and dark. And for us adults, well, I thought this movie brought a light-hearted and fun take on the werewolf genre, bringing the genre out to a new audience. The story was fast paced, predictable of course, but still it kept a good pace.I was thoroughly amused throughout the entire movie, and I am sure that it will be a hit with many younger viewers.
