Pretty Good follow-up to the 1959 original
Apr 13, 2007
jaybabb - imdb.com
This is not a true sequel to the 1959 original starring Tommy Kirk as a teen-aged Wilby Daniels. By that I mean it doesn't continue the same story line. This time, Dean Jones is the adult Wilby Daneils. When his... Full review

Kids were apparently supposed to relate to child-like Tim, whose dense behavior is the source of much of the supposed comedy, but watching it today is pretty grueling.

DVD MovieGuide
The performers almost single-handedly make the movie entertaining. We find many good shots of the various elements and stages in this tight and informative program. The cast deserves most of the credit for that. ... Full Review

Where in half the scenes he does get to appear, he's there for the purpose of growing hair on his face, like a demented Wolf Man. ... Full Review
