User Review

Hoodwinked deviating from its last idea

Rating: 6/10


Think back to 2005 when the classic tale of Little Red Riding Hood was
rewritten in a cute format, full of mediocre comedy, ridiculous antics,
lots of loud screaming, an X-Files approach to getting the answers and
a demented bunny that tied everything together. Yes it was none other
than the first Hoodwinked. Today I watched the sequel to this cute spin
of Red Riding Hood and I'm here to report that it has deviated from
this formula.

Hoodwinked Too begins with a quick, exciting chase scene involving a
witch, two fat kids, a wolf, a coffee induced squirrel, and a couple of
background animals. Granny is still the master daredevil and shows us
the amazing moves shes famous for from the first one, except this time
its on a hog. However after this brief, thrilling, funny scene, the
movie takes a quick turn to Red and her secret training ground. Here we
learn about her attitude problem and how she has to work with a team
instead of being alone. Once these scenes are done, the movie
essentially is laid out for you to predict. You clearly can guess who
the bad guys are, you can guess what is going to happen to the
accomplices, and you pretty much can guess everything that is going to
happen in this movie. As a result, this movie really has no twists to
it.

So is this movie worth watching? Well in my opinion it depends on what
you want to see. One great thing about this movie is that Twitchy the
squirrel has a lot of screen action and has a lot of hyperactive, funny
movements and skills that will make kids laugh their heads off, and
maybe some adults as well. The squeaky voice may get on some parents
nerves, but I assure you that kids will love this funny colorful
character. A second thing that parents might enjoy a little more, or
adults who like CGI movies is the constant references to James Bond and
the catchy one liners that this movie can throw at you. The wolf in
particular has a couple of shrek like lines that adults will get more
than kids, but it still doesn't match the brilliance that the green
ogre has shown. A third thing I will say is good about this movie is
that its not slow at all. The movie keeps a brisk pace and allows
anybody with a short attention span to be centered on the movie and not
drifting to sleep, which I find as a big positive. Also the woodsmen
yodelers were pretty good as well, but their role in the movie was too
short for me and should have been expanded.

If you're a fan of Granny however, then you may not enjoy this movie as
much as the master spy plays a very low key role in this movie. Aside
from that beginning scene I mentioned, Granny has a few quick flips,
tricks, and kicks that are diluted from her classic role. Some of the
comedy in this movie is also very slap sticky and beat you over the
head, especially gags about disguises and what not, which does get a
little old. The story is weak as well, and really did not impress me as
much as the first one did. Although the first story was not a
masterpiece, it still was a creative look on the red riding hood story.
This one deviated a little too much for my taste and should have tried
to get another story going, without putting in so much secret agent
warfare.

Okay recommended audience for this movie, definitely viewers who have
kids that like squeaky, hyperactive characters, this movie has a lot of
them. Fans of the fairy tale parodies may appreciate this film as well,
though may not be as impressed by this film as others. Overall for this
kind of movie I'll say a 6.5 maybe 7 at the most for a good try at a
fun kids film. However, it just doesn't reach out to a large audience
like Pixar and Disney do in their work. Until next time, this is
