"Hoodwinked" Review
The Ex-Professor gives it a
B.
IMDB.com Plot Outline: Little Red Riding Hood: A
classic story, but there's more to every tale than meets the eye. Before you
judge a book by its cover, you've got to flip through the pages. For this story,
we begin at the end. Furry and feathered cops from the animal world investigate
a domestic disturbance at Granny's cottage, involving a girl, a wolf, and an
axe. The charges are many: breaking and entering, disturbing the peace, intent
to eat, and wielding an axe without a license. Not to mention, this case might
be tied to the elusive "Goody Bandit" who has been stealing the recipes of goody
shops everywhere.It's clever. It's
funny. It's an afternoon at the movies with the kids that won't bore you. It
has great characters-- all different, and none what you would expect.
It's Little Red Riding Hood crossed with
an Agatha Christie mystery. And while it will amuse, let's hope your kids don't
fall in love with it, because once the secrets have been revealed, I suspect it
will become boring to the "I'm sorry, pumpkin. Mommy didn't
mean to
step on your DVD..." point.A definite
see it-- once.
