Full Review
Hoodwinked was, to be frank, not as funny as I thought it would be. It had funny moments, and the little fast-chattering squirrel was hillarious all the way through, but other than that it was more-or-less a kid's action flick with some humor thrown in. Don't get me wrong, it was a good movie, and I would recommend seeing it, but don't expect to be rolling in your seat with laughter. However, my younger brother was lost thirty minutes into the film because of the set-up of the plot. Most of the movie, save the last fifteen minutes, is done in "flashback style" so the set-up of the movie was hard for little kids to follow. Overall a good movie, but a slight comedic dis-appointment.
