Consensus: This fractured fairytale doesn't have the wit or animation quality to compete with the likes of the Shrek franchise.
Theatrical Release: 29-09-2006
Synopsis: This new spin on an old fable is from first-time director Cory Edwards, who also co-wrote the story and screenplay. Virtually everyone knows the story of Little Red Riding Hood, the young girl who brings a basketful of goodies to her... [More]
Starring: Anne Hathaway, Glenn Close, Jim Belushi, Andy Dick
Reviews for Hoodwinked
It's more than a little contrived, but Warburton's Wolf has a worldly, hard-bitten charm.

The idea is so great that it's a crying shame that the end product is such a sheep in wolf's clothing.
09/29/06
Top Critic A breezy, passably funny spin on a children’s classic, mixing slapstick and farce with character humour and delighting in demolishing stereotypes.
09/28/06
Top Critic Co-writer / director Cory Edwards has a lot of fun blending the detective genre with the familiar fairy tale world and the witty script throws up several hilarious one-liners, many of which will sail over the heads of a young audience.
09/28/06
Saddled with cheap-looking animation and a far from stellar cast, this Shrek clone is a diverting but hardly memorable addition to a dangerously overworked genre.
08/08/06
Top Critic Makes up for both its simplistic animation and its similarity to Shrek by cramming the script with riotously funny dialog.
05/20/06
Despite its occasionally unfinished feel, Hoodwinked will probably keep everyone (adults and kids) entertained for its very brief running time.
03/24/07
Simply not worth the effort or expense of a family night out at the movies.
03/01/07
Someone give these folks a real budget so they can make a movie that looks as good as it sounds.

In its simplicity, this film is to Pixar what the old hand-drawn Charlie Brown cartoons were to Disney.
09/25/06
This revisionist, jokey interpretation of the bedtime story arrives in the considerable wake of Shrek and is found wanting.
07/27/06
Hoodwinked is what many animated movies aspire to be: enjoyably deconstructionist. The kids in my audience seemed surprised and delighted by how it engaged their minds.
05/12/06
The animation isn't even comparable to the original Toy Story, but the clever wit behind the plot and characters is.
05/10/06
A delightfully whimsical, carefree film that is short on action, but long on funny one-liners.
04/15/06
..the computer animation is adequate at best, but that doesn't get in the way of some genuine cleverness.
02/27/06
an irreverent, imaginative and often just plain weird spin on the classic fairy tale
02/17/06
Had something a lot of other lame animated flicks haven’t had over the past year and that was spunk, sarcastic humor and a quirky-enough story to keep my aging ass interested most of the way.
02/10/06
Entertaining and funny, if a little thin. David doesn't knock out Goliath.
