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]

Feels uncannily like a too-chipper children's computer game that has somehow become unlinked from its best feature, the interactive menu.

The visuals are passable. The story's a lot of fun. And the story is what sells the movie.

A computer-animated feature that maintains a moderate level of cleverness without being the least bit engaging.

Filmmakers Cory and Todd Edwards are novices, which may explain why they settle for the easiest type of humor, parody, but they're not very successful at it.

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

It's a moderately enjoyable escapade that isn't quite clever enough for adults and not quite imaginative enough for children.

Take one modestly funny Bugs Bunny cartoon. Subtract three-fourths of the humor and the witty soundtrack. Add two songs about yodeling and two dozen non sequiturs. Multiply length by 10. Now, if you're smart, subtract yourself from the audience.

It takes place in a fantasy world whose cheaply rendered surfaces resemble Teletubbieland reupholstered with Naugahyde.

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

I would have loved to see what Pixar could have done with the material.

Sometimes funny but annoyingly self-conscious and opportunistic attempt to expand on the anachronistic fairy-tale comedy that energized the "Shrek" franchise.

It's cute for the moment but you'll hardly think of it as a classic.

As animation, Hoodwinked is cute junk. As a comedy, it ekes out the minimum requirement of laughs.

Cory Edwards did a great job with a little seen style of computer animation and clever writing that bounces along for a quick and fun 80 minutes.

Hoodwinked is CSI meets the Brother Grimm. But as clever as its premise is, the animated feature can't quite maintain its wily sense of humor.

Rashomon meets Spirited Away in a frenzied animated who-dunnit that dares the audience to join in the fun.
