- Quotes
Andy McDermott: So... hey you guy's are werewolves too, huh? Super glad to know you.
Claude: Andy, I don't think you have accepted the gift that has been given to you, or much less appreciated it. We have a mission, Andy. To purify the world that why we pick our victim's from the scum of society. The governments of the world spend billions on medicine, welfare, charity to what effect? It only keeps alive, the weak, the stupid, the lazy, who breathe and multiply, weakening the human race. All my men I have chosen for their loyalty their dedication to the coming age. But you... you were not to have been. You're an accident, an anomaly. I do not wish to kill you. I pray you will join is in our rise to become the new mankind. Pure free of disease free from the trappings of technological advance, will you join us... Andy?
Andy McDermott: I don't know. You know that's a big decision. I'm gonna need some time to think about that.
Claude: Sure.

The film stars Tom Everett Scott and Julie Delpy. He's an american on a tour of Paris with his friends. during this time he meets the Julie Delpy character and is instantly attracted to her but little deos he realize she has a big,"hairy" secret of her own and he soon will inherit that as well.
I know that this film is supposed to be a mixture of humor and horror but it never really finds it's balance and it tends to be more comedy and less horror and it can't really balance the two genre's out. The movie ends up being one big joke.
However, there was some stuff i did like though. The Werewolf effects are pretty good and most of the werewolf scenes is when the film is at it's best because they do create a lot of tension. The acting is pretty good. Tom Everrett Scott does a fine job as well as Delpy and the film is funny at times but it tends to be a little too funny for its taste.
