It may add 3D to the original, but Hoodwinked Too! is missing the first installment's wit and refreshingly low-budget charm.

The sequel to Hoodinked finds our heroine, Red (Hayden Panettiere), training with a mysterious covert group called the Sisters of the Hood. But Red is forced to cut her training short when she gets an urgent call from Nicky Flippers (David Ogden Stiers), who returns as head of the super-secret Happily Ever After Agency, aka the HEA. A wicked witch (Joan Cusack) has abducted two innocent children, Hansel (Bill Hader) and Gretel (Amy Poehler), and Nicky needs Red for the search-and-rescue mission.

Hoodwinked Too! Hood vs Evil Trailer & Photos
All Critics (64) | Top Critics (23) | Fresh (7) | Rotten (57) | DVD (6)
Full of manic momentum and nattering, witless word play, the movie has all the charm of a mudslide.
Top CriticThere are some nice 3-D swoops and drops, but the more vertiginous entertainment of the film is in the script, as what we think we know is deliciously turned inside out.
Remember the first "Hoodwinked," five years ago? Remember how it ended with the promise of a sequel? Remember how many times you've wondered when-oh-when-will-it-finally-come? Me neither.
A flat, plodding and largely mirthless affair.
Parents should take their children to "Hoodwinked Too! Hood Vs. Evil," if only because kids are never too young to learn the important and liberating skill of walking out of a movie and demanding a refund.
By the time a list of "Happy Days" plot lines are recited, it's clear that even as a hipster goof, "Hoodwinked Too!" is as fresh as a day-old Muffin Man.
Surely too much money has been spent on the cast and the 3D rather than on fashioning an intelligent, funny script.
As with the wicked witch, there's something inherently untrustworthy, even slapdash, about this whole affair.
A modern fairy tale that will not have a happy ending for anyone paying to see it
If your little ones are clamoring for this then make them wait for cable.
Hoodwinked Too is a fun fractured fairy tale.
Woefully unsuitable for children with its decades-old nods to R-rated films, 'Hoodwinked Too! Hood vs. Evil' is a far cry from the much cleverer original.
Hoodwinked wasn't without its flaws, and while some of those have been corrected in its annoyingly titled sequel, Hoodwinked Too! finds new mistakes to make, ultimately failing to live up to its best ideas once again.
The film's ending sets things up for another sequel, and that worries me. Do you realize how many fairy tales can be Hoodwinked?!!!
What was mildly amusing and mildly successful in 2005 has degenerated into a needless fracas among random fairy-tale characters, who have all been herded into this single film like a flock of Little Bo-Peep's defenseless sheep.
A crazed, attention-deficit disordered blitz of one-liners that sees Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf chase evil fairy tale characters through a mad world in search of a secret truffle cake recipe.
Why doesn't the Wolf just devour Red Riding Hood and put us out of this misery?
An annoying, exceptionally unengaging ball of noise that lampoons broadly and poorly, Hoodwinked Too! is even more dispiriting than its narrative failings render it, insofar as it seems to evince no real reason to exist.
The overblown title and exclamation point suggests an entertainment of the most stupendous! fantastic! thrilling! kind. Hence the concept of 'hoodwinked.'
Just because it's better than the original, that doesn't make it good. It's still the lowest quality computer animation to hit the big screen and putting it in 3D for more cash is just mean.
As a fan of the original, I really wanted to like this one.
Apart from Hader and Poehler's hilariously overblown German accents as Hansel and Gretel, none of these actors seem to be having (or providing) much fun.
A lame, time-wasting absolutely unnecessary sequel.
The very nature of animation is to appear lively, and if that's the case, "Hoodwinked Too" fails at almost every turn.
