Hoodwinked Too! Hood Vs. Evil (2011)

Oh, how the mighty have fallen. I am a huge fan of the original Hoodwinked! I consider it to be a cult classic. And in my review for that film, I defined what I consider to be a cult film. There was one thing that I forgot. They almost never have good sequels. With only three exceptions that I can think of off the top of my head (The Road Warrior, Evil Dead II, Dawn of the Dead), nearly every single surprise-hit sequel has been complete and utter trash. And here, we have no exception. The animation is just as terrible as the first, if not worse (it’s definitely creepier), and the jokes aren’t funny. The main thing that Hollywood needs to understand is that crude humor, physical jokes and references only work sparingly. Good examples of when these work are The Help, The Three Stooges, and anything Edgar Wright ever touched. But not here. WHEN IS HOLLYWOOD GOING TO REALIZE THAT WE ARE SICK OF THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS JOKES? Aarrarrargh! Hulk scream over. Anyway, I’m, gonna probably start to explain the extremely thinly-veiled plot of this movie. While Red (no longer voiced by Anne Hathaway, but voiced by the mediocre Hayden Pannetiere) is training with an ancient bakery association (what?) called The Sisters of the Hood (what?), Granny (Glenn Close) is kidnapped along with Hansel and Gretel (Bill Hader and Amy Poehler) by the Witch (Joan Cusack) because of an attempt that went wrong saving H&G by the Wolf (Patrick Warburton and Twitchy (Cory Edwards). And so Red has to team up with Wolf and the magic truffle…it doesn’t make any sense to me either, and I watched the movie. Okay. My first problem with the film is that it does not have any ties to the original movie. These are not the characters that I lovingly watched in 2006. Granny has nothing to do with who we saw then. Red, Flippers, Wolf, all of them are different! AND IT ANGERS ME! YARGGH! And I’m going to revoke what I said about The Silence of the Lambs joke. It can be funny. I’ve seen it be funny. BUT HERE IT’S JUST STUPID! THIS MOVIE IS SO STUPID, AND IT DISGRACED WHAT I KNOW AND LOVE! I HATE YOU Hoodwinked Too! Hood Vs. Evil, I HATE YOU!
