Virtually everyone knows the story of Little Red Riding Hood, the young girl who brings a basketful of goodies to her Granny's house only to discover the Big Bad Wolf impersonating her beloved grandmother. In this digitally animated version of the classic tale, a bolder Red (Anne Hathaway) is a delivery girl for her Granny's sweets shop. The Big Bad Wolf (Patrick Warburton) is there as well, but this time he's not exactly a threat. As for Granny (Glenn Close), she's hardly frail and sickly; she has a big secret that she's keeping from everyone--including Red. Finally, there's the Woodsman (Jim Belushi), a struggling actor who drives a schnitzel-on-a-stick truck by day. When this foursome collides, they become suspects in an investigation by Detective Flippers (David Ogden Stiers), Chief Grizzly (Xzibit) and Detective Bill Stork (Anthony Anderson). The police are also trying to track down the Goody Bandit, who is stealing all of the best recipes from the forest's sweet shops. By examining each character's story, Flippers is sure he can figure out not only what happened at Granny's that day, but also the identity of the Goody Bandit. Through flashbacks punctuated by original songs, Red, Wolf, Woodsman, and Granny each relay to Flippers their outrageous adventures from that day, from extreme skiing to hang gliding to falling out of a cable car to log rolling. Soon they all have an idea who the thief is. But can they stop the Goody Bandit from wreaking more havoc and monopolizing the sweets industry? Andy Dick also stars as the voice of Boingo. [More]

It's good for a laugh or three -- for both the kids and the adults.

..the computer animation is adequate at best, but that doesn't get in the way of some genuine cleverness.

A breezy, passably funny spin on a children’s classic, mixing slapstick and farce with character humour and delighting in demolishing stereotypes.

Employs even more unexpectedly edgy wit than Shrek, another revisionist fairytale, minus the sophisticated (read: expensive) animation.

A small, lightweight, enormously clever and never cloying little jewel.

A clever animated film using 'Little Red Riding Hood' to poke fun at modern police dramas and mysteries.

Despite its occasionally unfinished feel, Hoodwinked will probably keep everyone (adults and kids) entertained for its very brief running time.

The writing is clever and once you get past the first song it zips along at a pace only cartoons could keep up with.

With or without the 3-D, "Hoodwinked!" is a clever screwball take on the Little Red Riding Hood fable that speaks to the kid in all of us.

Delightful and inventively savvy. The year's last animated film is also its best.

A solid effort that proves an entertaining animated film can be made minus a big studio budget.

The animation may not be in the sophisticated and vibrant class of Pixar but the kooky comedy is viable enough to embrace the nuttiness of an ageless frivolous fable

A movie that moves quickly, offers a few laughs and keeps the kids quiet for an hour and a half.

Lacking a budget for big-time effects, the makers of Hoodwinked clearly had more time to work on the jokes.

The fast pacing, talking animals and occasional song might pull in the kids, but the movie's dry humor clearly is aimed at adults.

Its chaotic, rather incoherent action translates into a raw, gleeful energy that's so infectious and loony, kids will flash gap-toothed grins while wondering what the heck is going on.

Not much here for the adults but the small frys will like the quick dialogue and the stop-motion animation.

should satisfy anyone who's in the mood for a fairy tale with a sassy spin. ...it's a pleasant comedy that's generally as much fun to look at as it is to listen to.
