This is fairy tale revisionism for junior MTV fans: speedy, irreverent and forgettable fun. Time Out
2.5
But in a film thats already established its protagonist as a raging, loathsome man, theres no room here for romantic notions of crime.

As marketing theory, Hoodwinked makes a little sense. Too bad, then, its so crummy.

Not likely to have the undying appeal of a film like Shrek or Toy Story.

Its not bad enough to leave you feeling had, but unlikely to make you plan a return visit, either. One Guys Opinion
3.1
Those references, incidentally, arent done as smartly or slyly as in the original Shrek.) ReelViews
2.8
In the hands of the co directors/co writers, Hoodwinked is a sometimes amusing but uneven comedy that tries to appeal to an all ages crowd.
3.5
There isnt enough action in the movie for kids, the jokes are too subtle, and there isnt enough slapstick humor in it to satisfy small children. Lariat

Granny runs a highly profitable goody business (cookies, pies, etc.), Eric Ds Nider

This really isnt a Grimm fairy tale, and it really isnt Shrek warmed over.

This revisionist, jokey interpretation of the bedtime story arrives in the considerable wake of Shrek and is found wanting.

Hoodwinked is CSI meets the Brother Grimm. But as clever as its premise is, the animated feature cant quite maintain its wily sense of humor. Hollywood

The designs are bland, the animation lacks personality and the story isnt half as clever as Edwards thinks it is. Seattle Pi
