Title: Shrek Wannabe
Product review: Yes, Hoodwinked has an interesting premise and a half-interesting plot, but it fails in the execution. A comment on the cover reads, "The Funniest Animated Movie Since Shrek." If Shrek flew, Hoodwinked just rolled along. It's like the Hoodwinked producers started out to build a funky, fun airplane and ended up with a go-cart. Both have a body, seats, controls, wheels, an engine, etc., however, an airplane has capabilities built in that the go-cart will never have. Starting with a wonderfully twisted concept, Hoodwinked is not that well written, has yesteryear's CG animation style plus music that sometimes carries a tune but rarely the heart. If you like movies at a go-cart level, be my guest. Go-carts can be fun, but they don't soar. Adjust your expectations accordingly.
