We went to see Hoodwinked with the kids earlier today....Oh my God....this movie is not very good. The only thing that kept this movie from being awful is the character of the squirrel Twitchy.
The CG animation was average at best. The musical numbers are dropped in for no apparent reason. I think that I laughed...more like chuckled maybe twice during this movie.
My wife and I thought it wasn't the worst movie we'd ever seen but we couldn't name one other than maybe Dos Boot.
I just didn't find it funny. Some people were laughing during the movie...but not many.
Even the main premise of the movie...
"Furry and feathered cops from the animal world investigate a domestic disturbance at Granny's cottage, involving a girl, a wolf, and an Ax. The charges are many: breaking and entering, disturbing the peace, intent to eat, and wielding an Ax without a license." ...repeatedly seeing everyone's version of this from the beginning got old quickly. The puns were awkwardly done and not done that well at that. At one point, Granny appears to Red and tells her, "Use the cape...use the cape Red," obviously a parody of the Star Wars, "Use the force Luke"...it got a grown...it just wasn't funny.
The voice talent in this movie is fairly good Anne Hathaway, Jim Belushi, Andy Dick, Patrick Warburton, David Ogden Stiers among others....honestly, the only voice I recognized was Warburton until the credits ran.
Unless you really plan on killing 90 minutes....and you want to kill it good...avoid this movie.
