Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail
Full of manic momentum and nattering, witless word play, the movie has all the charm of a mudslide.
-
Nell Minow, Chicago Sun-Times
There are some nice 3-D swoops and drops, but the more vertiginous entertainment of the film is in the script, as what we think we know is deliciously turned inside out.
-
Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger
Remember the first "Hoodwinked," five years ago? Remember how it ended with the promise of a sequel? Remember how many times you've wondered when-oh-when-will-it-finally-come? Me neither.
-
Michael O'Sullivan, Washington Post
A flat, plodding and largely mirthless affair.
-
Kyle Smith, New York Post
Parents should take their children to "Hoodwinked Too! Hood Vs. Evil," if only because kids are never too young to learn the important and liberating skill of walking out of a movie and demanding a refund.
-
Joe Neumaier, New York Daily News
By the time a list of "Happy Days" plot lines are recited, it's clear that even as a hipster goof, "Hoodwinked Too!" is as fresh as a day-old Muffin Man.
-
Shaun Munro, What Culture
Surely too much money has been spent on the cast and the 3D rather than on fashioning an intelligent, funny script.
-
Ed Gibbs, The Sun Herald
As with the wicked witch, there's something inherently untrustworthy, even slapdash, about this whole affair.
-
James Luxford, The National
A modern fairy tale that will not have a happy ending for anyone paying to see it
-
Dave White, Movies.com
If your little ones are clamoring for this then make them wait for cable.
-
Jim Schembri, The Age (Australia)
Hoodwinked Too is a fun fractured fairy tale.
-
Linda Cook, KWQC-TV (Iowa)
Woefully unsuitable for children with its decades-old nods to R-rated films, 'Hoodwinked Too! Hood vs. Evil' is a far cry from the much cleverer original.
-
Matt Neal, The Standard
Hoodwinked wasn't without its flaws, and while some of those have been corrected in its annoyingly titled sequel, Hoodwinked Too! finds new mistakes to make, ultimately failing to live up to its best ideas once again.
-
Betty Jo Tucker, ReelTalk Movie Reviews
The film's ending sets things up for another sequel, and that worries me. Do you realize how many fairy tales can be Hoodwinked?!!!
-
Marjorie Baumgarten, Austin Chronicle
What was mildly amusing and mildly successful in 2005 has degenerated into a needless fracas among random fairy-tale characters, who have all been herded into this single film like a flock of Little Bo-Peep's defenseless sheep.
-
Simon Weaving, Screenwize
A crazed, attention-deficit disordered blitz of one-liners that sees Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf chase evil fairy tale characters through a mad world in search of a secret truffle cake recipe.
-
Jackie K. Cooper, jackiekcooper.com
Why doesn't the Wolf just devour Red Riding Hood and put us out of this misery?
-
Brent Simon, Screen International
An annoying, exceptionally unengaging ball of noise that lampoons broadly and poorly, Hoodwinked Too! is even more dispiriting than its narrative failings render it, insofar as it seems to evince no real reason to exist.
-
Kimberly Gadette, Indie Movies Online
The overblown title and exclamation point suggests an entertainment of the most stupendous! fantastic! thrilling! kind. Hence the concept of 'hoodwinked.'
-
Jeff Bayer, The Scorecard Review
Just because it's better than the original, that doesn't make it good. It's still the lowest quality computer animation to hit the big screen and putting it in 3D for more cash is just mean.

Wow, that's incrediby unfunny. And the animation is so blotchy.

Now I like the first Hoodwinked movie very much, and for a low budget CG film its very funny and keeps you entertained, so when I heard they were going to make a bigger budgeted 3-D sequel I was interested, but the better CG doesn't add to how poorly this film was made, the CG may be better, but the lip synching is terrible and the voice acting isn't that good. Though Patrick Warburton was still funny as the Wolf, the new voice actors just didn't do it for me. The villains of the film are lame and annoying along with their voices and attitudes, there were only a few real moments that made me laugh, the plot is forgettable, and it rips off Star wars which is inexcusable to do, and they even have a moment where Ben Kenobi talks to Red and says "Wrong person." That is just flat out stupid. The only real thing I liked in this film was the scene with the three little pigs being bad mercenaries, but the funny thing about it is that Cheech marin plays one pig and Chong plays another, and I found that pretty funny actually, but the rest of the film is just crap, and Is undoubtedly the worst film I've seen this year.
-
It's a kid's movie, what more to say, really? It did seem to have a not too bad storyline, so shouldn't be too painful for any adults watching, but I am sure it is not really something an adult would pick out to watch alone! A few laughs and some good characters.
-
The first one was better than this. They should have left the movie alone after making that.

This is one of the worst animated films in history. Hoodinked Too finds Red (Hayden Panettiere), training with a mysterious covert group called the Sisters of the Hood. But Red is forced to cut her training short when she gets an urgent call from Nicky Flippers (David Ogden Stiers), who returns as head of the super-secret Happily Ever After Agency, aka the HEA. A wicked witch (Joan Cusack) has abducted two innocent children, Hansel (Bill Hader) and Gretel (Amy Poehler), and Nicky needs Red for the search-and-rescue mission. Granny (Glenn Close) and the rest of the Hoodinked gang-including the ever-clueless Wolf (Patrick Warburton) and his over-caffeinated little partner, Twitchy (Cory Edwards), join Red to solve the forest's latest caper. The plot of this film was so boring, and I mean so boring, that I might as well have slept through it all. The all star voice cast must be really up for cash these days, because people, I have never seen such talent go to crap like this. The animation, is almost as bad as a straight to DVD animated childrens movie, and thats some pretty bad animation. They tried making this a action film also, and it was horrible, it was like Mission Impossible for Ages 2-4. This movie may be fine for kids, but I found this agonizing to watch and I hope I never have to experience it again, one of the worst films of 2011.

Better than the original, an amazing and brilliant family film. An unstopable great time at the movies with the whole Hoodwinked gang. A hilarious and dazzling movie thats filled with huge laughs and unforgettable characters.

The first Hoodwinked had poor animation, but was made on a budget and had a fantastic script. It was witty, clever, and most of all likable. Hoodwinker Too seems like it was created by a new batch of film makers that completely missed the point. It wasn't. The original writers return, but I don't know what happened to the humour. The animation isn't great, but that could be excused by quality content. What isn't excusable is the awful shot composition. There's a fight scene that looks like a 2D side-scrolling platformer. The jokes are few and far between, and as the movie tries to expand on its forest origins into a big city, it only shows the lack of funds and resources, as you see the same characters over and over again. The voice work isn't terrible, but it's hard to care towards the end. The original had clever mystery with a Rashomon narrative. Here it's all linear, and tries to spoof too many action movies.

a sequal that is full of toilet humor, but strangely, a little bit enjoyable with some few laughs. B-

OH GOD!!! I seen it all, the animals, the f**ed up squirrel, the badass gramma, and who can forget, Hoody Girl. I saw the trailer and it looked like I saw the hole movie. Hoodwinked is the worst sequel, if you want some usless, stupid entertainment...... this is your movie.
-
The only thing going for this movie is stronger animation. The original had so so animation but was hilarious and kept you interesting. This movie looks like a video game and I just stared at it for an hour and didn't laugh once.
-
Parts of this were pretty funny...others just weird.
