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]

Neither fish nor foul, television show nor movie, "Hoodwinked" is a flavourless confection, that if not exactly a waste of an hour and a half will at least provide for some harmless babysitting.

This animated tale about 'what really happened' among the Wolf, Grandma, Red and the Woodsman doesn't excel in any department, from unspectacular computer animation to routine voice talent.

Everything appears generic and overly simplified, like something you would expect on Nickelodeon -- and that's probably not giving Nickelodeon enough credit.

Feels as warmed over as day-old muffins in Little Red Riding Hood's basket.

A riff on the "Little Red Riding Hood" tale, literally reimagining our innocent, skipping little sweet tart as a street-smart, butt-kicking, take-no-prisoners hard-lass from the 'hood.

The narrative sloppiness is hardly helped by the unimpressive animation, which makes the characters seem bloated and blocky.

Hoodwinked! is a collection of everything that's gone wrong with animation lately and nothing that's gone right.

There are two sides to every story, the saying goes, but in this super-Rashomon-meets-Shrek CGI contraption there are no less than five.

The Shrek-style nudge-nudge jokes aimed at adults are tiresome.

The technical deficiencies could be overlooked if the story were great, but it's merely average. It has laughs, and smiles, and a couple memorable characters, but it doesn't have enough of any of those things.

...spoofing classic fairy tales is [an idea] almost as old as [its] animation techniques...

Simply not worth the effort or expense of a family night out at the movies.

It's not bad enough to leave you feeling had, but unlikely to make you plan a return visit, either.

The production contains enough positive elements to make it worth a look, but not until it reaches DVD or TV. As a theatrical offering, it disappoints.
