YMMV / The Boy Who Cried Werewolf

• Fridge Brilliance:
  • Jordan spends most of the movie struggling with her werewolf powers, only to suddenly become awesome at using them when Hunter is in danger. This might not make a lot of sense at first, but then Hunter turns out to be a natural-born werewolf. Remember, the strength of the wolf is the pack. In this case, that's made literal. The sudden facility with which Jordan controlled her wolf abilities came from her desire to protect another member of the pack.
  • On that note, earlier in the film, when Jordan chased Hunter down the hall and had him cornered, she sniffed him and regained enough control to bolt instead of attack him. She likely smelled that he was a fellow wolf.
• Fridge Horror: Hunter was always going to turn into a werewolf the first full moon after he turned 14, regardless of location. What would have happened if he had turned while he was still back home, with Jordan and their dad still unaware werewolves even exist or that they're good? Or worse — what if he'd been out in public?
• Harsher in Hindsight: The one-off joke about Britney Spears being a Werewolf (and how it "explains a lot") becomes a lot less funny after the "Free Britney" movement that publicly criticized her conservatorship in 2021, as well as Britney's memoirs detailing her Sanity Slippage from her point-of-view (and the reasons it happened) being published in 2023.
• Hollywood Homely: Victoria Justice is supposed to look ignorable?
• Special Effects Failure:
  • The werewolves' faces are incredibly still. Beyond that, their fur doesn't look all too realistic. Both are a borderline case of Nightmare Retardant.
  • The CGI also tends to be a bit dodgy.
