Red Riding Hood (2011)

We liked Amanda Seyfried in Veronica Mars, so we've since netflixed Letters to Juliet and now Red Riding Hood **.  Letters to Juliet was watchable, if uninspired, and notable mostly because it paired Vanessa Redgrave and Franco Nero, presumably in a nod to Camelot.  


Red Riding Hood has received execrable reviews, and for about 80 minutes I couldn't understand why.  It wasn't good, but it wasn't terrible.  And then we got the "reveal", which was one of those Agatha Christie-style reveals where the murderer is one of the least-developed castmembers and one of the few who hasn't yet been accused by someone else of being the murderer.  Sigh.


** yeah, we also saw Mamma Mia!, but that was for Meryl.
