      At least the werewolves in Red Riding Hood have teeth and, when in human form, they don't parade around shirtless.

      There is a sort of unintentional campy fun to be had in places. Just don't go in expecting much, in other words, and perhaps you'll live happily ever after.

      Boxoffice Magazine

      Hardwicke shows a strong grasp at epic fantasy with Red Riding Hood; her nemesis is not a man-eating wolf but an unsurprising script.

      Intermittently enjoyable hokum at best.

      Orlando Sentinel

      Far more grim than "Grimm," and not nearly as much fun as it should have been.

      The Hollywood Reporter

      As it thuds along from one wolf attack to the next, Catherine Hardwicke's first film since taking leave of Bella and her toothy friends adamantly refuses to provide any wit, humor or fun.

      Village Voice

      RRH veers between monotonous, soapy seriousness and camp.

      Chicago Reader

      Like an idiot, I came to this movie hoping that director Catherine Hardwicke-who made her debut with the bad-girl shocker "Thirteen" (2003)-might engage in a feminist interrogation of the old fairy tale, just as French filmmaker Catherine Breillat has with "Blue Beard" (2009) and "The Sleeping Beauty" (2010). Instead this is a muddle-headed horror flick.
