Hoodwinked 2 : Blu Ray Review
Hoodwinked 2
Released by Roadshow
Rating: G
When Red Riding Hood's grandma (Glenn Close) is kidnapped while investigating
the disappearance of Hansel and Gretel, (Saturday Night Live alums Hader and
Poehler) Red (Panettiere) is called in to try and rescue her.
But this mission sees her team up once again with the brilliant
Patrick Warburton's Wolf - despite their objections.
Can they put aside petty differences and save the day?
The sequel to Hoodwinked is a curious thing.
Without Anne Hathaway in the lead as Red Riding Hood,
Hayden Panettiere steps in and it just doesn't seem to be the same film in many
ways.
The animation looks a little crooked in some
ways and is more redolent of a computer game than a computer animated film.
And the script is flat in many ways - there's far too few throwaway
one liners to give it the oomph that it needs and Warburton's Wolf is by far the
best thing in this with his trademark laconic and deadpan delivery, it's not
enough to deliver.
There are a few nods to other
films - Star Wars and Silence of the Lambs being the most obvious, but there's
little for the adults in the audience to appreciate here. It's probably more one
for the kids to be put on while the school holidays continue.
Extras: Storyboard sequences, behind the voices
Rating: 5/10
