 Lost all the charm of the first movieJul 01, 2011
By DJTackyT
Sequels are sometimes good, but most times not. This sequel is terrible. I just bought the original "Hoodwinked" because I loved it and have seen it at least 3 or 4 times. I have recommended it to many people. When part "Too" came out, I saw it in the theater, I was so excited about it. Man, was I blow away by how poor it was. All the ineresting angles and approach of the original was gone... it was just another animated kids movie with straight-forward, predictable plot. I recall chuckling a couple times... that is it.
I am sorry to give this such a low rating, but, to make up for that, I highly recommend you go buy the original Hoodwinked... you will be happy you did. (Just try to resist the temptation to follow up the watching of that great movie with watching this sequel.)
Note: I am a father of several small kids. I hated Hoodwinked Too (as you can tell); but my kids liked it... so I give it two stars as the average of my 0 star rating and my kids 4 stars. If you are just getting it for the kids, it could be worth it.

 Wonderful Film for Familty NightAug 20, 2011
By A. Anderson
"ann0314"
Not sure why there are so many bad reviews here other then this version is not as musical as the first. There are not really any songs in this sequel (except for the goat and one or two by wayne newton though they are short scenes)...something that was lost since Anne Hathaway didn't play Red this time. Also, they didn't follow the general formula of the first which was to take a fairy tale and disassemble it from 3 perspectives. That being said though, the storyline was sweet and engaging (just as much as the first if not more as this time around there were a couple really wonderful life lessons mixed in with the humor) Myself, husband, and our 10 yr old son spent the whole movie laughing (as we did with the first) and we loved it. The animation was charming, the storyline and dialog was funny, and over all we had a great time as a family. Twtichy (who stole the show for us first time around) had a ton more lines and was hysterical. All in all, if you are looking for something you can watch with your kids and all enjoy, this is a wonderful movie for just that occasion :)

 It's for kidsAug 23, 2011
By H. Erickson-Sander

Sure, this is no Shrek. It's not the type of movie the whole family can sit through and take in enthusiastically. Parents probably won't be drawn in by the plot & humor of Hoodwinked Too!, but the little ones will sure enjoy it. My three year old loved it, she sat through the entire movie and seemed to enjoy it very much. I think it's the perfect type of movie to get for the car DVD player, something to keep little minds from growing board on a car ride but also not geared enough towards adults to where you don't want to miss it (hey, I'm excited for the next Pixar film and happily sat through Toy Story 3).
So we've found Hoodwinked Too! to be a decent addition to our collection for when the little ones need a fun movie that's just for them. Definitely worth picking up if you need a distraction for the kiddos for a little while. It takes a classic fairy tale and puts a new, modern spin on it that your children will find amusing and silly. Enjoy!

 Kids Love ItSep 19, 2011
By Sara M
Let me start by saying that I cannot stand this movie. The original Hoodwinked was pretty cute, but this is just a hot mess. The story is difficult for kids to follow and there are some 'jokes' (I use the term lightly) that are a bit too suggestive in my opinion. I'm assuming this was an attempt to humor the parents that might be watching...They failed.
That said, my kids adore this movie. I'm a little embarrassed to admit that they like it so much as I thought that my children would surely be born with a naturally high brow taste in theater and a sharp sense of humor that would not tolerate dumbed-down attempts to amuse them, but alas, they enjoy fart jokes. Thoroughly. :/
I suggest renting this movie as apposed to buying. I'm sure many parents will not approve of some of the material that Hoodwinked Too! attempts to pass of as humor so you might want to screen this first...if you can stand it. I wouldn't recommend this movie for children under 5 and even that might be a bit of a stretch.

 Please, take time to read, just facts, not just "my" words/view.Sep 04, 2011
By Jeffrey L. Middaugh

Umm, glad someone enjoyed it with kids, about the only way to do it, but its rank. I hate to bash, I am only here because I want to warn others, it is bad! I am not comparing it to the first, or other movies, it stands on its own as thin and not worth any amount of money. If you watched the first I bet this movie had some appeal to see the characters again, but that would be about it. I have never seen so many cliché sayings in a movie (even those doing it to poke fun of those) but this one was stale with so many used over and over from the past. Fast paced so you don't get bored or realize there is no content, or story line or good character content. And last, first time the wife agreed with me; the movie was poor. Don't often do this (ever?), but this disc is being returned!
