Hoodwinked

4.1 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (207 customer reviews)
Everyone knows the story of Little Red Riding Hood . . . or so they think. That's all about to change because no one has ever seen their favorite fairy tale quite like this -- turned upside-down, inside-out and reinvented as a computer-animated caper comedy that at last reveals the ... shocking true-crime investigation behind the legend. At last, the full story can be revealed of how Red (ANNE HATHAWAY), Granny (GLENN CLOSE), The Woodsman (JIM BELUSHI) and the Wolf (PATRICK WARBURTON) all came together as criminal suspects in a case that almost HOODWINKED the law. With inventive story telling, spunk and wit, filmmakers Cory & Todd and Tony Leech bring to the screen a story for the young, the young at heart and everyone in between.

4.0 out of 5 stars SHREK meets the INCREDIBLEs meets FLETCH, January 14, 2006
By 
Kevin J. Loria (New Orleans, LA USA) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE)    (REAL NAME)   
Was the Wolf framed? Is there more to Red-Riding Hood than her keen deductive ability and her hood? "HOODWINKED" asks these questions in a film more family friendly than SHREK. Sure, comparison to the SHREK films in unavoidable when twisting fairy tales. But Hoodwinked has it's own style, although it is a less slick style than Pixar or Dreamworks. Just with more quirky songs and more awkward charm.

HOODWINKED,is a FRACTURED FAIRY TALE in the spirit of Jon Scieszka's The True Story of the Three Little Pigs. The movieopens like a traditional telling of Red-Riding Hood,with "Red" voiced by Anne Hathaway taking goodies to Granny, voiced by Glenn Close, she finds the wolf, a woodsman (Jim Belushi) leaps in with an ax.....then the police arrive. The best Of these retellings are by the Wolf, voiced by Patrick Warburton, and Granny. The Wolf reveals that he is an undercover reporter who not only dresses like Chevy Chase's Fletch, but he shares Fletch's disguise kit and soundtrack. Warburton plays the Wolf perfectly in every scene. Granny's retaling parodies "XXX" in her taste for extreme sports is revealed. Other notable voices and cameos by Andy Dick, David Ogden Stiers and Xzbit.

The film is loaded with great one-liners, pop references and gags that will appeal to all-ages.

5.0 out of 5 stars surprisingly funny and refreshingly clever, February 9, 2006
By 
R. C. Kopf "curtis kopf" (Seattle, WA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
not the usual tired fare that unfortunately makes up most children's movies (even disney these days)

this is a super clever rewrite of little red riding hood with all sorts of zany characters and twists on the original. it's funny, fast-paced and amazingly no violence, sex or profanity. Good job!

5.0 out of 5 stars Hoodwinked is great, March 29, 2006
This review is from: Hoodwinked (Widescreen Edition) (DVD)
I went to see the movie 3 times. I loved it every time and now I see it is coming out finally on dvd in May. One of the best parts of the movie aside from the beautiful job the cast did, is the soundtrack to it. Critters Have Feelings is one of the best trailer songs in years. I hum it all the time. I agree that Twitchy is the star of the show, Red was absolutely divine and granny is extreme. Anne Hathaway is great.
