Hoodwinked: See It

You have to see Hoodwinked! There are many brilliant and funny elements. Some friends have complained about the animation quality, but I found it refreshing.

We've seen a lot of hype [0 1 2 3 4 5], because everybody here is excited about "local kids" doing things at the national level, and I don't mind it. I love supporting new filmmakers and other artists for all the reasons I also like to watch childrens' recitals and sporting events: you gotta start somewhere. Plus, it's another opportunity to expose Ezra to people who are using their talents and taking chances in the marketplace, so he knows he can follow in their footsteps and develop his own creative output, even if it isn't perfect.

Give the movie a chance. They did it! And they've tasted success! It deserves to be part of your comedic lexicon.
