 At
last, the full story can be revealed of how Red (ANNE HATHAWAY), Granny
(GLENN CLOSE), The Woodsman (JIM BELUSHI) and the Wolf (PATRICK
WARBURTON) all came together as criminal suspects in a case that almost
HOODWINKED the law. With inventive story telling, spunk and wit,
filmmakers Cory & Todd and Tony Leech bring to the screen a story
for the young, the young at heart and everyone in between.
HOODWINKED begins at the end of the tale and winds its way back . . . It
all begins as a feathered and furry assortment of cops and detectives
turn up at Granny’s cottage in the woods to answer a domestic
disturbance call. It looks at first to be just another open-and-shut
case of a woodsman assaulting a wolf impersonating a granny, with an
assortment of criminal charges including breaking and entering, intent
to eat and wielding an axe without a license.
But looks can be deceiving. As debonair detective Nicky Flippers (DAVID
OGDEN STIERS) and hard-nosed (or is that furry-nosed?) Police Chief
Grizzly (XZIBIT) and fellow police officer Bill Stork (Anthony Anderson)
question the slippery suspects, they discover each one has a completely
different, yet equally wild and woolly, tale to tell. Not only that, but
it seems that this crime has ties to the notorious “Goody Bandit”
who has been ravaging the woods by stealing the valuable recipes that
keep the forest in muffins.
None of the group is exactly what they seem, and each has their own deep
secrets and wily deceptions. The detectives soon uncover that seemingly
innocent Red is worldly wise; that the big, bad Wolf has been terribly
misunderstood; that Granny has a secret life no one could have imagined;
and that the insecure Woodsman, whose brawn just might outweigh -- well
you know the stereotype – has some surprising ambitions of his own.
They’re not your usual suspects – yet the investigators must use
their clashing eyewitness accounts to solve the increasingly convoluted
riddle of who among them has committed a crime. When at last the
nefarious villain’s true identity is revealed, it’s up to Red, the
Wolf, The Woodsman and Granny to put aside their differences and find
their own original twist on happily ever after.
