Synopsis

Teenage Claire would rather hang out with her friends at the mall than to stay home with her brother Matt while Grandma babysits. Who wouldn't? Unfortunately, Grandma isn't about to let Claire out of the house. Worse, she insists that Claire and Matt listen to her reworking of the Brothers Grimm classic tale "Little Red Riding Hood". Fortunately, Grandma has a sense of humor, and adds some modern twists. Claire imagines herself as Red, and her brother, parents and grandma as....her brother, parents and grandma.

GREAGIRL I loved this movie. I laughed and laughed and laughed.It is completely child inappropriate. I would say PG-13 at least as it seems geared more towards the T+ demographic.The songs were great - the humor sly and dark. If you watch if thinking you're going to watch a longer version of Fairy Tale Theater, you're going to be disappointed. If you think you're going to be watching something along the lines of Rogers & Hammersteins' Cinderella you're going to be disappointed.If you think you're going to be watching a Buffy-esque, snarky version of Red Riding Hood, you'll enjoy it.
Shiloh M. For me, the best reason to watch this Red Riding Hood version is the Hunter played by Henry Cavill. He is so charming here, and what a beautiful man. The music is fun too. The Director also filmed Grease and Blue Lagoon. I enjoy those movies also. I do not understand why so many people are writing so much negative stuff about this movie. Really this was fun, and yes there is a few places that are not so great. But I don't care. If I like watching a movie, I do not care if someone else puts it down so much. If you want to view an incredible wonderful and handsome man like this Henry Cavill, then you will almost certainly want to rent this movie. Hats off to Henry and everyone else. Enjoy.
Poor Yorick This movie, obviously, is not a Hollywood blockbuster, and its target audience is kids, so it should be judged accordingly. That said, my daughters, ages 6 and 8, are absolutely delighted by this movie, and when I finally gave in to their insistent pleas that I watch it with them, I could see why. It's obvious that it must have been one of the most fun movies ever to make. It's nothing but silly, but it's loads of fun. All the actors, including the kids, have a great time with their parts, and ham it up at every opportunity. The gags surrounding the juxtaposition between modern life and the classic tale of Red Riding Hood fly by so quickly that before you are finished appreciating one, you've missed two or three more. Joey Fatone is hilarious, and should have won an Oscar for his complete transformation between two simultaneous roles. Anyone who rates this movie poorly didn't watch it with an 8-year-old. Disclaimer: I loved "The Wizard of Speed and Time."
fleetmind Just because someone is under the age of 10 does not mean they are stupid. If your child likes this film you'd better have him/her tested. I am continually amazed at how so many people can be involved in something that turns out so bad. This "film" is a showcase for digital wizardry AND NOTHING ELSE. The writing is horrid. I can't remember when I've heard such bad dialogue. The songs are beyond wretched. The acting is sub-par but then the actors were not given much. Who decided to employ Joey Fatone? He cannot sing and he is ugly as sin.The worst thing is the obviousness of it all. It is as if the writers went out of their way to make it all as stupid as possible. Great children's movies are wicked, smart and full of wit - films like Shrek and Toy Story in recent years, Willie Wonka and The Witches to mention two of the past. But in the continual dumbing-down of American more are flocking to dreck like Finding Nemo (yes, that's right), the recent Charlie & The Chocolate Factory and eye-crossing trash like Red Riding Hood.
