User Reviews

An inept hilarious film that even children won't like!

LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD was available at a film convention I went to and out of curiosity, I bought it. It was the funniest thing I had seen in years! Not intentionally funny, mind you, but funny! The little girl is so obnoxious, everyone loves her, the perfect little girl. You just wanna ring her neck! The wolf is a man in a raggedy old HIDEOUS suit that stalks around "menacingly" with his sidekick, a skunk (a man in a HIDEOUS skunk suit!). When Little Red sings, her voice is that of an adult opera singer! With a giant spider who's "angry", the wolf's cave that looks like a giant jack o' lantern, and a bunch of comedy relief that isn't comedy and certainly isn't relief for the atrocity of this thing! Get this movie now!
