Hoodwinked --- This story, unlike many others, begins at the end. Chief Grizzly and Detective Bill Stork investigate a crime scene at Granny's cottage, involving a sweet-natured, karate-kicking Red Riding Hood, a mysterious wolf and an oafish, ax wielding Woodsman. Each of the four suspects must tell their own stories, which is where our movie begins.
While Hoodwinked might not have cutting edge animation, it has wacky characters, a clever plot and, while it's cooking, jokes that work. The voices in the film are very matchable with their characters, and that's part of the reason the film works. Every character gives their story, and all the stories tie in together at the end, and that's when we find the true criminal. I won't give anything away, because Hoodwinked is worth a matinée.
If you're looking for some CG family fun, Hoodwinked may just be that movie. It's enjoyable, smart, colorful and witty. Good for the whole family.
Hoodwinked= B
