This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

That was an excellent one.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

First of all I really like both the 1982 version and the 1999 version- the reason why I do prefer the 1982 version is because that in particular is a childhood favourite. I do admit there was a time when I didn't really like this, but now considering that it was a TV remake, and that it is a lot more faithful to the stage play, it is not as bad as I initially thought. True it is too short, and despite her truly beautiful voice I just wasn't sure about Audra MacDonald as Grace. For my tastebuds, it was a tad sugary sweet at times for my liking. However, it does look lovely, and the music is marvellous, and the same with the 1982 version. The performances are great too. I really loved Aileen Quinn,(and I wish people would stop making horrible comments about her) but Alicia Morton is closer than what Annie is like in the stage show, in terms of age, and while both girls were wonderful, Morton has got the better voice. Annie's friends were well done too, but the scene stealer has to be Kathy Bates as Miss Hannigan, just like the wonderful Carol Burnett. There were times when she was absolutely hilarious, and Victor Garber while just lacking the gruffness of Albert Finney was a delight as Daddy Warbucks. Alan Cumming and Kristen Chenoweth were fine as Rooster and Lily, and I also much enjoyed the portrayals of Tim Curry(who is my favourite actor of all time and vastly underrated as an actor) and Bernadette Peters. This version is closer to the stage musical, and has a real Christmas feel to it. The problem I had with the 1982 version were John Huston's direction, and I know they changed the ending, but to be fair, the 1982 version is NOT the first musical adaptation to take liberties with the stage musical, how about My Fair Lady and Oklahoma! Overall, seeing this again recently proved my initial opinion of it wrong. 7/10 Bethany Cox

I like this film because Alicia Morton looked like a Tom Boy in that orphanage. She looked like a boy excepted in I Don't Need Anything But You.After that she looked like43 a Tom Boy Again.However It's a great movie.Sarah Hyland who played on One Life to Live was A cute Molly. I remember when that t movie came out. I saw that on Sunday Night.That one scene that I saw was when they brought Alicia Morton in the back of the set During the song I Think I'm Gonna Like It Hear was Because it was very hot on the set.These Orphans in this film are just like the short circus kids on The Electric Company.I like both of these versions.

I used to be obsessed with Annie when I was young and saw all of the movies and the Broadway show. Then, I saw that this film was coming out. I was so excited. I watched it and absolutely loved it. I think it is the best Annie film to date. Why do I think that? the acting. Newcomer Alicia Morton is adorable and has a fantastic voice. She does great in the emotional scenes and is tough at some times and sweet at others. Audra Mcdonald also gives a solid performance and plays the part of grace perfectly. Kudos to Kathy Bates for singing because in an interview I saw she said she'd never sing. She also was hilarious at Ms. Hannigan. Victor Garber, Alan Cumming, and Kristin Chenoweth also gave great performances. Oh and the orphans and Sandy were adorable! I recommend this film. Great for the family.

this movie was awesome.. I saw it a few years back but I realize that Anni is my fav movie.. the new one! Erin Adams - Tessie- has an amazing voice.. and so does the little girl who plays Anni- i wish i saw them in more movies, id definitely go see them. Annie is a classic movie that I am inspired by now that i am taking theatre. I still cant believe how awesome that movie is, even though i saw it a very long time ago. well about 5 years. anyhow i hope this Hus inspired those who haven't seen it to go rent or buy it. I could rant and rave about this movie all cay.. its one of my favourites.you really should go see it. Its bright and colourful and has great songs.
