Red Riding Hood (2011)


The 1062nd retelling of the classic old fairy tale, and only the 1045th version with a werewolf, Little Red is once again threatened by the big bad wolf. A fairytale setting with some cool FX and sequences and Gary Oldman wasn't enough to save an already over done and thin story from the doldrums. Its pretty obvious from early on that a stick figure with puffy lips rolling around her absurdly large eyes was supposed to be the one to carry this movie.. she doesn't. Now I'm not ready yet to call this a complete waste of time, some of the new tweaks were interesting, but by and large this is one that will be quickly forgotten. Save your cash and make it a rental if you must. Third day leftovers.
