About five years ago, an animated comedy called ``Hoodwinked''. It was a detective story of Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf. It was pretty funny when I saw it. It included the voices of Anne Hathaway as Little Red Riding Hood and Patrick Warburton as the Big Bad Wolf.
Now, it's 2011 and Anne Hathaway is not playing Little Red Riding Hood anymore. It is Hayden Panettiere from the TV show ``Heroes''. Patrick Warburton is still the Big Bad Wolf. When I first saw the trailer for this movie, I didn't laugh once. It looked like one of the worst movies ever. Still, when I'd heard it had gotten a two and a half out of four in the Toronto Star, I thought I'd give it a chance.
Well, I'm glad I gave it a chance. I laughed quite a bit during the film. There might have been a few too many sentimental messages in the film, but I still enjoyed it a lot.
So, the plot of the movie is Little Red Riding Hood, the Big Bad Wolf and a squirrell named Twitchy (Cory Edwards) trying to save Hansel and Gretel (Bill Hader and Amy Poehler) from an evil witch named Verushka. The evil witch wishes for a recipe for a chocolate truffle that will make you powerful and she kidnaps Little Red Riding Hood's butt-kicking granny (Glenn Close) so she can make the truffle.
In my opinion, I think that this is a movie that kids will adore because it has humor that will probably appeal to them. Also, I think that the adults might enjoy some of the humor in it, too. Anyways, my point is that ``Hoodwinked Too: Hood VS Evil'' is a good movie and I think it's worth seeing.
