Hoodwinked - Review and News

Did you go see Hoodwinked over the weekend? I did, and I thought it was a decent animated movie. It poked fun at fairy tales but the filmmakers suceeded in not spilling into Shrek territory.


Pros:
-Funny
-Clever
-Most awesome goat ever to be shown on screen
-The set up of the movie was interesting. We saw the same event from different viewpoints, and each subsequent viewpoint made the story richer (and more hilarious).

Cons:
-Shortest. Movie. Ever. I wouldn't spend $9. Wait for the DVD.
-Okay, it really wasn't that difficult to figure out whodunnit. Then again, it is a kids' movie.

There is also going to be a Hoodwinked sequel.

Hood vs. Evil will find a teen Red training in a distant land with a mysterious, covert group called Sisters of the Hood. She is then called upon by Nicky Flippers -- head of the Happily Ever After Agency -- who teams her with the Wolf to investigate the disappearance of Hansel and Gretel. The character of Granny, and the rest of the "Hoodwinked" gang, also return and are joined by new characters.
