By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Blistering performances.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

I thought the movie was great! The original movie was in my era; however, I love the modern day version- lots of funny parts, entertaining musical (which I normally am not the movie musical type), etc. My child who is a 12 years love this movie too. Only part I thought could have done better was the musical part in the helicopter but I still would rate this movie a 10. Warm and fuzzy movie :)

I love this movie and it has my favorite actress in it!💖 It has a slight twist on the original movie but in my opinion is much better. I love how it is modernized. The songs are great quality and are sung by highly experienced actresses and singers It features Cameron Diaz, helping target market.

This is my family first time watching this Annie movie. My husband and I enjoys it just as much as the kids. Our eleven year old daughter loves the musical more than anything. She has watched it so much, now she fast forward to the musical. Our son relates to the movie more so because he was adopted. I tell you no lie we've literally watches it everyday, so as for the very deep harsh criticism I think are related to the skin color of the main character and directors. Relating this movie with the original version is not fair. First, the movies are made from a different time period. Secondly, the original version was made by an all or majority white cast and directors. The new Annie movie is made with a mixed of blacks and whites cast and directors. Thank you to everyone who had something to do with making this movie. Another movie we can watch as a family over and over and doesn't get boring!!!

This version of Annie is truly awful. I have seen the two previous version several times, and there was no need for another, especially given the treatment this time around. Can you imagine a hip hop version of the Sound of Music or My Fair Lady? Some respect should be shown to the originators of these pieces of work. This Annie is merely a distortion of an iconic show and it appears the public agreed it wasn't worth the effort.While the part of Annie is played by a very talented girl, other roles were so bad that it is doubtful any actor could have made it palatable. I particularly disliked Miss Hannigan in this movie, and her version of Little Girls was plain angry. And the movie completely destroyed "I'm Going to Like It Here," especially with the new lyrics. Annie was never a perfect musical, but compared to this version, the original sure seems that way.
