Everything a big bad wolf could want

Red Riding Hood

(2011)

Golly. Good golly. I remember when I first saw the trailer for this, thinking that the odds were against it, but that it could really be terrific, and rooting for that. Then when it came out and the reviews were poor, I dismissed it--until it showed up during a week of free Cinemax. Though I must confess that if I'd checked Rotten Tomatoes and seen its stunning 11% rating (20 for 188) overall, 6% (2 for 36) among Top Critics, I might not have bothered to record it.

Well, I've seen worse, but I've rarely seen less coherent or more all-over-the-map. There's just not much good to be said about it.
