That is a guess? I thought that was obvious from the trailer. Blatantly obvious.

Yeah, I remember seeing this before Harry Potter and for a split second--when Oldman appeared onscreen, it caught my interest. That, however, didn't last long. But then my interest was peaked again when I saw that it was being directed by the director of Twilight. Hear me out here.
Like so many of you I dismissed Twilight as being ridiculously melodramatic garbage written by an insecure woman that had been hit in the head with a brick at an early age. You know, the sort of thing that my cat would instinctively bury in his litter box. Then one day while at my sister's house, she had it on, and I decided it wouldn't be fair to badmouth it without having seen it. This was the second one, mind you.
And it was AWESOME.
Seriously, I had no idea. It was quite possibly the most over-the-top hilarious comedy I have ever seen. What I said earlier about it being melodramatic? Well, it's taken so far that it's hysterical. And every time the Down's Syndrome faced werewolf boy has long hair for whatever reason, I just died. I couldn't breathe, I was laughing so hard. Just watching any of them trying to act...it's unreal. Great actors trying to act badly couldn't act that bad. If Keanu Reeves was in the film, the acting would have actually improved.
Seriously, if you can see it for the comedy it is, it's a ton of fun to watch. Somehow it's even funnier that it's so unbelievably retarded and yet it's meant to be taken seriously.
So, I'm thinking this Red Riding Hood might be great fun to watch, if it can somehow be as pants ****tingly hilarious as Twilight.
I am a disapointed that Oldman is in it though. He's better than that. I guess even Oldman just needs to get paid every now and again.

Sorry, but i actually am rather tired of that formula.Quote:

*looks up* Aw, Smoof.  Gary Oldman's in it, so I'll watch it but it doesn't look like "Red Riding Hood" to me so much as "Ginger Snaps 3". |
Edit: Although the presence of friends and alcohol while viewing it may have influenced my perceptions a bit. <.<

You don't want another one. But then, you're likely not their target audience.

I don't think it's so much the director as the content. If this film can be as over the top as either of the Twilight films then it will be comedy gold.

If, after all the hints and drama, it turns out that the pretty boy is just what he appears to be. A pretty boy with some issues and a crush.
Then Red can turn into the werewolf, rip him limb from limb, and eat his heart before going to find someone better to be her boyfriend.
