Movie Reviews of Red Riding Hood
Movie Review: worth the purchase
Summary: 4 Stars
Great movie for young adults! The acting was good but the singing was Ok (some could sing and some could not). It is worth purchasing as long as it's still available. I liked the story line, this one really focuses on knowing who your friends are.Movie Review: Red Riding Hood Pee-Eww... I mean Review
Summary: 3 Stars
Be prepared to watch the enhanced version of "Little Red Riding Hood". Ever wondered what became of Red's father? Want to know a little more about her mother and grandmother? This version of the classic fairy tale is certainly full of surprises. It was so surprising, I didn't even recognize the original story. In fact, the real story doesn't even begin until about a half hour into the movie!
"Red Riding Hood" features an oddball collection of characters in a disinteresting plot. Red's evil uncle attempts to romance Red's disinterested mother after Red's father becomes MIA. The only "mildly interesting" character is the wolf who spends much of the show disguised as a spy for Red's uncle.
This film includes a cute little ditty entitled "Never Talk To Strangers", which is the underlying moral of this tale. Though I still wouldn't show this movie to any child younger than 10. I do not think younger children will be that interested in the plot.
Movie Review: One of the Cannon Movie Tales
Summary: 3 Stars
Red Riding Hood is one of the many "Cannon Movie Tales" that I grew-up with and am happy to find released on DVD. It was by no means my favorite of the series (which includes- Snow White, Rumpelstiltskin, Beauty and the Beast, Emperor's New Clothes, Puss in Boots, Hansel and Gretal, and not released on dvd in the U.S.- Frog Prince, Sleeping Beauty). This series of movies looks like it was done all with shared sets (most of the sets from Red Riding Hood can be seen in Beauty and the Beast, Snow White, and Frog Prince) and sometimes the same actors. Red Riding Hood includes Isabella Rossellini (Merlin, Death Becomes Her) and Craig T. Nelson (Coach, Poltergeist). There's a few delightful songs, some overripe acting from the infamous "wolf," and some general changes in the story to stretch it out for a full length movie. All in all I like it mostly out of nostalgia more than anything else.Movie Review: Surprisingly bad
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this because it is made by Cannon Movie Tales and I love "Puss in Boots", which they also made. Because "Puss in Boots" was so good, I thought this would be, too. Alas, I was disappointed. "Red Riding Hood" has almost no relation to the story we are all familiar with. The plot in the actual fairytale is more of a parenthetical remark than the main story line in this movie. Add to this that the acting was rather painful and the special effects were anything but special and you are left with 1 star. The one thing it had going for it was that it was perfectly clean and not very scary for youngsters. Since small children are easier to please in the cinematic area than adults, perhaps they would still enjoy this adaptation to "Little Red Riding Hood".Movie Review: Probably THE WORST MUSICAL EVER MADE?
Summary: 1 Stars
Imagine if Ed Wood made a musical, then this would be the result.
Painful to watch, let alone listen to (unless you're 5 or under). The songs are weak, the recordings so 'canned', even the dialogue sounds like it was dubbed. At the same time, it's so horrifically embarrassing and so poorly made, it's almost entertaining...in small bites.
