Critic Reviews

Owen Gleiberman

The result is a wacked kiddie Rashomon in which the different versions dovetail with a logic as impeccable as it is flat-out buggy. So who do we root for? Everyone and no one. Hoodwinked's most radical feature is that it's a ride without heroes. Read full review

Tasha Robinson

There's no getting around the fact that it all looks like a cutscene from a kiddie video game. It's a great showreel. Now someone give these folks a real budget so they can make a movie that looks as good as it sounds. Read full review

Steven Rea

Hoodwinked may be a poor cousin to the Shrek franchise, but this made-on-the-cheap computer-animated feature still has more style and snarky gags than Disney's recent CG hit, "Chicken Little." Read full review

Peter Debruge

Like an early Woody Allen film or a classic Marx brothers feature, more of Hoodwinked's gags flop than hit, but they come at such a steady rate, you hardly notice. Read full review

Matt Singer

Sluggishly paced and stiffly animated, Hoodwinked pulls out all the stops to keep its attention-deficient audience occupied, but the snowboarding, skiing, hang-gliding, and kung fu sequences will still be a lot more fun in the Hoodwinked video game. Read full review

Marjorie Baumgarten

The film's voice talent is good, as are the characterizations. However, the film's computer animation leaves much to be desired. Read full review

Walter Addiego

Hoodwinked is a computer-animated, "Shrek"-style satire of "Little Red Riding Hood" that offers a few laughs but overall is pretty tired. Read full review

In our house, we have two ratings for kids films: worth buying on DVD, and not worth buying on DVD. Hoodwinked is definitely worth buying on DVD. It's a movie you can watch over and over and still find new things that make you laugh. The wolf and Twitchy the squirrel are a riot.

Any journalist who'd put a very enjoyable, clever, charming, and warm film down simply for poor fidelity and animation quality ought to be stoned on the spot. This is an attitude that's common amongst the blogging trash that review video games, it has no place with the movie going critic.Any journalist who'd put a very enjoyable, clever, charming, and warm film down simply for poor fidelity and animation quality ought to be stoned on the spot. This is an attitude that's common amongst the blogging trash that review video games, it has no place with the movie going critic. It's just bad critiquing. It's like saying that every film that's been created with substandard equipment is bad.

Hoodwinked is a lovely movie. I recommend it, unless you're possessed of an intellect so small you need the shiniest shinies to keep your miniscule attention-span and empty mind stimulated.… Expand

I really expected to hate this movie, since it looked like it desperately wanted to be clever and painfully smart-alecky, but my kids and I both enjoyed very much.

Wow, this movie is terrible. It seems tired, old, very used and drawn out. I was hoping for something as clever as many of the other animated movie that have come out in the past several years, however, this does not come close. This movie isn't even enjoyable for little children, Wow, this movie is terrible. It seems tired, old, very used and drawn out. I was hoping for something as clever as many of the other animated movie that have come out in the past several years, however, this does not come close. This movie isn't even enjoyable for little children, makes little sense. The only good part about this movie is it was very short, otherwise I would've walked out.… Expand
