Red Riding Hood

2006 · 84 min

A light, silly musical fantasy that plays like a pantomime, with modern jokes and a warm family frame.

Directed by: Randal Kleiser
Genres: Family, Fantasy
Starring: Lainie Kazan, Henry Cavill, Morgan Thompson

Tagline: The Better To Eat You With, My Dear...
Overview: Teenage Claire would rather hang out with her friends at the mall than to stay home with her brother Matt while Grandma babysits. Who wouldn't? Unfortunately, Grandma isn't about to let Claire out of the house. Worse, she insists that Claire and Matt listen to her reworking of the Brothers Grimm classic tale "Little Red Riding Hood". Fortunately, Grandma has a sense of humor, and adds some modern twists. Claire imagines herself as Red, and her brother, parents and grandma as....her brother, parents and grandma.
