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.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A grandmother tells a fractured, comedy-inflected version of Little Red Riding Hood to reluctant teenagers, blending the fairy tale with modern family dynamics in a warmly funny way. It's less about the dark forest and more about how stories bring families together, even when nobody wants to listen at first.
