But the Woodsman (voice of Jim Belushi) suddenly appears on the scene, and later the police conduct an investigation. That's when each of Red, Granny, the Wolf and the Woodsman recounts his or her own version of events, and their stories aren't completely consistent with one another.

Queen Latifah stars in this comedy, and her character is functionally similar to the one played by Alec Guinness in the 1950 British film with the same title. When Georgia (Latifah) is told she has only weeks to live, she uses her life savings for a stay at the luxurious Grandhotel Pupp in Karlovy Vary in the Czech Republic. A number of unusual things happen to Georgia along the way, some of them involving a coworker (LL Cool J), a department store tycoon (Timothy Hutton) and a world-class chef (Gérard Depardieu).
