Animation - The overall look of this movie is pretty horrible. The settings and the character models are all hideously bad. Plot - The overarching story is pretty dumb. This movie is very comedy-based. Few things make sense and there is a lot of stupid. If you're willing to put up with the nonsense, this movie is really funny and entertaining. The ending is terrible, and when I watch this movie I rarely wait around for it. There isn't a lot to say about this movie. Its clever and funny with terrible animation and a bad plot. I'd recommend this, but be warned for every clever joke, there is some stupid.

Today was one of those hot days in which all outdoor activities besides swimming would be uncomfortable. So, it was a time to lounge in front of the fan and have a movie marathon. Of course that movie marathon included my seven-year-old so the movie selection is limited.I saw the title Hoodwinked! and something registered in the back of my brain. It was much like seeing a familiar face from your past but you can't quite place it. I knew the title sounded and looked familiar but I didn't know why. Did I have intentions of watching this before or was this on my "do not watch list"? Without knowing exactly why I proceeded to play the movie. I played the movie based off of that small inclination and was I ever glad I did.This movie is clever and hilarious. The animation would lead you to believe that it is perhaps for 5 year-olds and younger but the writing and the humor definitely belies that.It is clear that the movie is a witty take on the Little Red Riding Hood story. All the recipes throughout the forest are being stolen thereby driving the creatures of the forest out of business. The police have four suspects in custody: Red Puckett (Anne Hathaway), Grandma (Glenn Close), the Wolf (Patrick Warburton), and Kirk the Woodsman (Jim Belushi). Each has their own story as to why they've curiously come together at Granny's house in very peculiar fashions.This movie had a brilliant story, great writing with some hilarious scenes. I thought the lines were great and were delivered expertly. I just saw that there is a Hoodwinked Too. I must find that movie now.

Some people may consider the animation of this film old. However, I see it as a different kind of animation that that of Disney-Pixar titles. I think it was done purposely, to cleverly represent the vintage tale of "The Little Red Riding Hood." This film has a great many punchlines that will have you rolling laughing. The Film tells the different points of view of "The Little Red Riding Hood," from each of its characters, such as the Big Bad Wolf, Red Riding Hood, The Granny, and some weirdo with an ax. It has a lot of slapstick humor as well as a lot of conjured up, original humor laced into the story. This film can be enjoyed by both adults and children alike. I found it to be a lot better than I had thought it to be. I expected it to be lame and cliché. Well, shows you how much I judge a book by its cover. Give it a shot. I bet you'll appreciate the fact that you did. I would recommend this movie to those who are in the mood for parody animation.

It's the classic Red Riding Hood tale but then the police investigation begins. It's an open and shut case until detective Nicky Flippers starts interrogating each of the classic characters. Red was hiding Grandma's recipe from the Goodie Bandit. Wolf is actually an investigative reporter looking for the Goodie Bandit. Granny is an extreme athlete and the Woodsman is a clueless aspiring actor.I don't mind modern references infecting the classic tale. They could do better than Fletch with the investigative reporter. The movie is not done particularly well or funny. The CG animation looks ugly. It has an interesting idea but it needs more compelling writing.
