Title: See Hoodwinked Instead
Review: After seeing Hoodwinked and enjoying it, I looked forward to this movie, by the same makers. Also, with talent like Kevin Smith, Chevy Chase, Whoopi Goldberg and William H. Macy, I had high expectations. I was very disappointed.The movie makes a few cultural references, which is amusing, but not really funny. There are very few actual jokes, and characters that are not at all developed after the initial introduction. The wizards, good and evil, look like Jack-in-the-Boxes which have escaped their boxes, which seems odd and unnecessary. Their powers come from their pizza-box-guy stereotype mustasches, which is sort of cute.Small children will probably enjoy the brightly colored scenes and the triumph of good over evil, but I'd give this one a miss if you're over 6. I gave it two stars because it wasn't so bad that I had to turn it off, though I came close.
