Hoodwinked! (2005)
A darkly comic and absurdly witty mystery unravels as familiar fairy tale characters spin their own wild versions.
Little Red Riding Hood: A classic story, but there's more to every tale than meets the eye. Before you judge a book by its cover, you've got to flip through the pages. In the re-telling of this classic fable, the story begins at the end of the tale and winds its way back. Chief Grizzly and Detective Bill Stork investigate a domestic disturbance at Granny's cottage, involving a karate-kicking Red Riding Hood, a sarcastic wolf and an oafish Woodsman.
How intense is Hoodwinked!?
Hoodwinked! has no gore and some violence. Emotionally it carries some weight. The pace is brisk, and it is a family watch and a comfort watch. The humor runs dry and absurdist. Rated PG.
