Teenage Claire would rather hang out with her friends at the mall than to stay home with her brother Matt while Grandma babysits. Who wouldn't? Unfortunately, Grandma isn't about to let Claire out of the house. Worse, she insists that Claire and Matt listen to her reworking of the Brothers Grimm classic tale "Little Red Riding Hood". Fortunately, Grandma has a sense of humor, and adds some modern twists. Claire imagines herself as Red, and her brother, parents and grandma as....her brother, parents and grandma.

Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.
There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
"Red Riding Hood" (2006) is a silly version of the Grimm Brothers tale with annoying songs. Maybe a child may like this film, but for an adult it is unbearable. Certainly I am not the target audience of this film. Unfortunately I did not pay attention to the IMDb User Rating that should warn that it is a film for children only. My vote is three.Title (Brazil): "Chapeuzinho no Século XXI" ("Riding Hood in the Century XXI")
This movie is the ultimate parody of a classic story line, but set in modern times. It is essentially a musical, and it has some super cute songs. The lead character, Red, is just a complete darling, and the Big Bad Wolf is side-splitting funny. My young daughters just loved it, and my wife and I laughed throughout the whole movie. We liked it so much that we bought it, and our girls have watched it many times. They know all the songs by heart.For those who get hung-up on special effects realism and need first rate acting, maybe this film isn't for you. And yeah, the special effects are crude, but this film doesn't pretend to be anything more than it is. The effects are meant to be crude...it's a comic parody. Roll with it! Sit back with your kids, make some popcorn, and have a blast. You'll love it! This film is 10x better than a whole slew of other family movies.
this film is Off The Hook. grandma hits the coke(!) yes!, no kidding. the musical numbers are out of this world. the film is totally illegal. i can't recommend it enough. It's way past perverted. (a few representive themes: yoga with bill. makeup. rap. teeth. snort. hood. 10th line.)***above is the review--below, the "extra credit"***Hard Chargers are enemies of sports racers. Although the term originated with political overtones, its true meaning continues to emerge.Hard chargers are afraid of toilet paper. (See the 05-01-06 show)This term originally appeared in the April 13th 2006 episode of The Show, and refers to the following exchange between a reporter and Scott McClellan, the White House Press Secretary:Q. The President said earlier -- just in talking about the rest of his presidency, that he intends to charge hard in his final two-and-a-half years -- MR. McCLELLAN: Absolutely. He's a hard charger.
Relying on the positive reviews above, we saw a free screening of this last night. Now I KNOW that filmmakers plant positive reviews, because there is no way an objective individual could have written these. "Destined to become a 'cult classic'"?? The theater was packed, apparently with friends and families of the production crew, because only a few of us walked out by the first hour.The songs were the most literal I've ever heard in a musical "don't take the short cut, honey, there's a wolf in the woods..". Debi Mazar's eyes blinked furiously as she struggled to sing. Fortunately, most of the tunes lasted for only a few lines.Now, whoever plays the wolf in this tale should be charming and seductive. Instead, we get Joey Fatone, ex N'Syncer, living up to his last name as he's not aged well. He's not exactly lithe with his extra 50 pounds and junior high school-quality makeup and out-of-tune singing. Seriously, this guy was in vocal group? The rest of the actors are semi-adequate, but can't do much about the unimaginative script. You know, it is possible to write for adults and children at the same time see under "Pixar".On the positive side, the virtual sets looked nice and were well-integrated with the actors. And it wasn't as offensive as "Crash".
