TV Guide Ken Fox

Totally daft and a lot of fun.

Mr. Showbiz Kevin Maynard

A bit too bloodless to howl about.

Village Voice Jessica Winter

Largely inept and weirdly endearing.

New York Daily News Elizabeth Weitzman

This Grimm-influenced fairy tale has a contemporary twist and the best of intentions, and that's about all there is to say for it.

Film.com Henry Cabot Beck

An odd, sweet and relatively innocuous little fairytale.

San Francisco Chronicle Edward Guthmann

The wolf-homosexual analogy is well drawn, but Wolves ultimately feels slight, a tad unfinished -- as if it were conceived as a sketch and hadn't been fleshed out to feature length.

San Francisco Examiner Wesley Morris

Has no intention of taking a more sophisticated path to make its point.

New York Post Lou Lumenick

Abysmal performances, limp direction (Will Gould) and a heavy-handed script drive a stake through a semi-interesting idea about the persecution of gay werewolves in a remote English village.

The New York Times Stephen Holden

Silly, heavy-handed film.

Absolutely wonderful! Hunky men dressed as wolves, beautiful scenery, and so many metaphors and jabs at other movies and stories I lost count. I laughed through most of the movie. Anyone who understands what it is to grow up gay will love this movie. Highly recommended!
