Red Riding Hood (2011)

"Red Riding Hood" may be the worst retelling of the fairy tale since "Freeway". The best way I can describe this film is stupid. Bad dialogue and wooden performances, even from the often great actresses Amanda Seyfried,Virginia Madsen, and Julie Christie, stop this film before it has a chance to even be any good. Catherine Hardwicke isn't known for making high art, but this poor attempt at it makes you never want to see her try again.
