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]

A few random laughs can't overwhelm terrible animation in this Shrek rip-off.

A solid effort that proves an entertaining animated film can be made minus a big studio budget.

Neither fish nor foul, television show nor movie, "Hoodwinked" is a flavourless confection, that if not exactly a waste of an hour and a half will at least provide for some harmless babysitting.

A riff on the "Little Red Riding Hood" tale, literally reimagining our innocent, skipping little sweet tart as a street-smart, butt-kicking, take-no-prisoners hard-lass from the 'hood.

Its chaotic, rather incoherent action translates into a raw, gleeful energy that's so infectious and loony, kids will flash gap-toothed grins while wondering what the heck is going on.

The production contains enough positive elements to make it worth a look, but not until it reaches DVD or TV. As a theatrical offering, it disappoints.

Not likely to have the undying appeal of a film like Shrek or Toy Story.

Hoodwinked! is a collection of everything that's gone wrong with animation lately and nothing that's gone right.

The writing is clever and once you get past the first song it zips along at a pace only cartoons could keep up with.

More often than not, the look reflects a speeded-up trip though the hard drive to keep costs from skyrocketing. In other words, don't expect much detail.

Certainly a nobler attempt in the animated feature genre than the likes of Robots, Shark Tale and Chicken Little.

A cartoon more for adults with a sense of humor, than for children.

The Edwards show immense creative potential; they just didn't find it all in this particular forest.

It's not bad enough to leave you feeling had, but unlikely to make you plan a return visit, either.

This flick has the best script of any animated film this year.

Hoodwinked, in terms of wit and technological skill, is no Shrek. It's not bad, if you lower your expectations a bit.
