TRAILER: MTV's Teen Wolf Looks Nothing Like Teen Wolf

It's unofficially Teen Wolf Week here at Movieline -- find out later whether or not the Michael J. Fox classic made it into the Final Four in our inaugural basketball movie tournament -- and what better way to celebrate than with a lengthy look at the MTV reboot of the brand. Or, maybe not.

Egad. What hath Twilight wrought? As everyone learned when the teaser trailer for Teen Wolf debuted last year, the MTV version owes much to Jacob, Edward and the town of Forks. Unfortunately, thanks to acting that would be considered bad in high school drama club (not to mention the faux-reality dialogue that makes Skins so incredibly unwatchable), Teen Wolf possesses none of the charms of Twilight -- even in a junky, Bad Movies We Love sort of way. If any Hollywood executives are planning to reboot Teen Wolf for the big screen, please watch the trailer below to learn what not to do. Replacing basketball with lacrosse? SFX: Raspberry.

VERDICT: Would rather watch Teen Wolf Too.
