Here’s what the critics have to say about Hoodwinked Too! Hood Vs. Evil:  “Hilarious!” (Nell Minow The Chicago Sun-Times)  “Innovative! A superb sequel and entertaining treat for the whole family.” (Judith Manigault, Family Media)  “A procession of pop-culture send-ups delivered at light speed, interspersed with affirmative messages about exercise, proper diet and — so refreshing in this kind of movie — girl power.” (The New York Times)

The good… the bad… the Twitchy.  Hoodwinked Too! Hood Vs. Evil finds our heroine, 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 NickyFlippers (David Ogden Stiers), the 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 the whole Hoodwinked gang — Red, Granny (Glenn Close), the ever-clueless Wolf (Patrick Warburton) and his over-caffeinated little partner, Twitchy (Cory Edwards) — for the search and rescue mission.

Fracturing fairy tales and pop culture with good-natured glee, Hoodwinked Too! Hood Vs. Evil takes viewers on a rollicking rollercoaster ride combining edge-of-the-seat adventure with classic, zany cartoon antics.
