Hoodwinked Too! Hood VS. Evil 2011

Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel: Yes, it's in 3D and no, it's not remotely as good as "Rio." Read more

Kathleen Murphy, MSN Movies: ...infantile humor, unrelenting wisecracks and popcult references, and flat characters who don't engage one's eyes or interest. Read more

Andy Webster, New York Times: While it seems there's no getting away from this marketing aesthetic, the resemblance at times to a video game is far, far too acute. Read more

Nick Schager, Time Out: Marred by second-rate 3-D and the sort of cornball one-liners that even a fairy godmother couldn't love, it's a tolerance-testing tale that puts the grim in Grimm. Read more

Keith Phipps, AV Club: Kids have seen much better animation in other films, and it's hard to imagine too many grown-ups ready to smile and nod at yet more smirking takes on famous moments from Scarface and The Silence Of The Lambs. Read more

Tom Russo, Boston Globe: In which the animators ditch structural ambition in favor of straight-up action spoofery that's all freneticism and very little cleverness. Read more

Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune: "Hoodwinked Too," which runs an eternity-risking 85 minutes, plays like a jaded rehash of other pictures. And none of those other pictures, sadly, is the original "Hoodwinked." Read more

Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly: Even with SNL's infinitely inventive Bill Hader and Amy Poehler in the H&G vocal roles, the movie can't be saved from its own vices of manic pacing and tediously pro forma pop culture jokes. Read more

Jake Coyle, Associated Press: One feels sympathy for such classic, beloved characters constantly being refashioned for films beneath them. Red Riding Hood needs a better agent. Read more

Todd McCarthy, Hollywood Reporter: Hoodwinked is the way audiences will feel after this mercenary sequel. Read more

Robert Abele, Los Angeles Times: "Hoodwinked Too! Hood vs. Evil" is all-sugar rush, its potential to charm adults and their young charges routinely drowned out by a bigger/faster/jokier ethos. Read more

Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger: Remember the first "Hoodwinked," five years ago? Remember how it ended with the promise of a sequel? Remember how many times you've wondered when-oh-when-will-it-finally-come? Me neither. Read more

Joe Neumaier, New York Daily News: By the time a list of "Happy Days" plot lines are recited, it's clear that even as a hipster goof, "Hoodwinked Too!" is as fresh as a day-old Muffin Man. Read more

Kyle Smith, New York Post: Parents should take their children to "Hoodwinked Too! Hood Vs. Evil," if only because kids are never too young to learn the important and liberating skill of walking out of a movie and demanding a refund. Read more

Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer: There's nothing especially noteworthy about Hoodwinked Too! Read more

Peter Hartlaub, San Francisco Chronicle: One would hope that Martin Scorsese and Brian De Palma are getting some kind of royalty from all the mediocre comedies and animated movies that keep ripping off their films. Read more

Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune: Sure, it's still bottom-drawer animation of the "Igor," "Fly Me to the Moon" and "Alpha & Omega" variety. And yeah, your kids can tell. Read more

Joe Williams, St. Louis Post-Dispatch: "Hoodwinked" wasn't a bad movie, but it wasn't a smash hit, either, and the stash of spoofable fairy tales is now as empty as Old Mother Hubbard's cupboard. Read more

Nell Minow, Chicago Sun-Times: There are some nice 3-D swoops and drops, but the more vertiginous entertainment of the film is in the script, as what we think we know is deliciously turned inside out. Read more

Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail: Full of manic momentum and nattering, witless word play, the movie has all the charm of a mudslide. Read more

Bruce Demara, Toronto Star: The results are irreverent, fast, funky and funny. And hey, there may be a lesson or two in there for youngsters - especially girls - to pick up on along the way. Read more

Claudia Puig, USA Today: If ever there was a movie that should have gone straight to video - or better yet, never have been made - this is it. Read more

Justin Chang, Variety: Once upon a time, fairy tales were told with beauty, wit, simplicity and charm, a tradition that seems increasingly a thing of the past in Hoodwinked Too! Hood vs. Evil. Read more

Michelle Orange, Village Voice: One of the more depressing, desensitizing experiences I've had in a theater, Hoodwinked Too! Hood Vs. Evil feels as computer-generated as its creepy, talking-ceramic-toy style of animation. Read more

Michael O'Sullivan, Washington Post: A flat, plodding and largely mirthless affair. Read more
