Details

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.

Alicia I love this movie so much
Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good
SpunkySelfTwitter It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.
Taha Avalos The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
GREAGIRL I loved this movie. I laughed and laughed and laughed.It is completely child inappropriate. I would say PG-13 at least as it seems geared more towards the T+ demographic.The songs were great - the humor sly and dark. If you watch if thinking you're going to watch a longer version of Fairy Tale Theater, you're going to be disappointed. If you think you're going to be watching something along the lines of Rogers & Hammersteins' Cinderella you're going to be disappointed.If you think you're going to be watching a Buffy-esque, snarky version of Red Riding Hood, you'll enjoy it.
purplewanda Creepy & lascivious wolf. The young "Red" is wearing full make-up, and extremely short shorts & robe. Got about 20 minutes through and realized it could be a pedophile's dream come true. The "up-beat" music sounds a lot like something I'd hear at a strip club. I actually think this movie is a sick joke - it's not a family movie. Gross, glad I was watching this with my daughter, I don't want her to think it's normal for families to view quasi kiddie porn together. Very bad, Very sad it's sold as a family film, Joey Fatone will probably be embarrassed he was in it. And what's with advertising it as a "special effects spectacular"??? The effects do look low budget, gawd awful.
wpprods I was lucky enough to see Randal Kleiser's "Red Riding Hood", a technological breakthrough in shooting full stream HD with the Viper camera on a virtual reality stage. While this technology is being used more often, it was pioneered by Kleiser in 2003 in a full scale musical. Kleiser, the director of the most beloved and seen musical of all time ("Grease") applies his deft touch and sensitivity for childhood innocence to this musical contemporary retelling of the Grimm Brothers fable. With outstanding performances from Joey Fatone (the N'Sync star portrays a sharp dancing wolf), Laine Kazan and a host of newcomers, this picture entertains very young audiences in the sure way that only the master Kleiser can. Highly recommended for kids between 4 and 10 and their families.
kwo_bubba This movie is not for everyone. It's one of those that some people probably aren't going to get. It's different. It plays like a music video for the most part. I was hooked after the first song in the film. The musical bits are great, and the cast is great. This is a great family film, and it also has a great deal of humor. I rented this (I work at a video store so I watch everything) with low expectations, and I was pleasantly surprised. The young lady that plays Red Riding Hood is great, hopefully this film will get her many roles to come. If you're looking for something different, and fun, then this is it. It will be available the 27th, so check it out!
