Pros: Strong performances from Quinn, Finney, Burnett, Peters, Curry... Cons: Some pacing issues slow down the whole gravy train
Okay, the truth of the matter is, I've NEVER been a ten-year old girl, although there are times I've screamed like one. When I was about ten, a movie came out ABOUT a ten-year old girl, and I've never had any desire to see it. When it came out in...
Pros: Aileen Quinn, Carol Burnett, memorable songs, incredible dance numbers, heartwarming ending Cons: not a one!
Every man, woman and child of all ages should experience the 1982 musical, Annie, at least once in his lifetime. Yes! It is that good and so incredibly memorable. Believe it or not, I had not even seen this award winning, star studded spectacular ...
There are an estimated 523,000 children in foster care in the United States, and more than 119,000 of them are waiting to be adopted. Approximately 120,000 of these children are currently considered "waiting" children -those who are available for ...
Pros: Funny, cute, great songs, excellent baddies! Cons: I've heard some say it's annoying...
I've always been a sucker for stories about orphaned girls - the Secret Garden, Heidi, A Little Princess, Anne of Green Gables, Thursday's Child... and so I thought I'd love Annie, which I did. The first time I watched this on video, I was in tears in ...
Pros: Singing, cute movie, entertaining for little girls everywhere. Cons: songs a little overly infectious
Warning: this review will not leave many details of this movie a secret. I thought I'd include anything you might want to know, in case you have the task of selecting a movie for a young member of your household. It's October of 1986. Twelve ...
I have to say that I have not seen the 1999 version of this film, but I absolutely love this version which I consider the Carole Burnett version. Burnett is perfect as Miss Hannigan, the sex starved lush. I enjoy all the acting in this film, but to me...
Pros: Outstanding cast Cons: Never delivers what it promises, is rather uneven.
Nothing is worse than a bomb than a bomb that had potential.
John Huston's 1982 Annie, the film based on both the comic strip and the broadway show of the same name had: the perfect cast (Aileen Quinn, Albert Finney, Carol Burnett,...
Pros: Over the top and larger than life Cons: Less realistic than the new "Annie"
I just saw the new, made-for-TV and released for video "Annie", starring Kathy Bates as Miss Hannigan. Having read in TV Guide that it was far superior to the 1982 movie release, I was surprised to find myself taking the contrarian view. The...
Pros: Good family movie Cons: A bit long for the little ones
It's the Great Depression. Kids were put in orphanages by the truckload because the parents couldn't take care of them because there was no work available.
Annie is a beautiful, spunky redhead who seems to be able to take care of herself in...
Pros: Family entertainment, familiar songs, still available on video, fun movie Cons: The "new" Disney's remake of "Annie"...
I remember watching this movie when I was younger, and loving it. I must have watched it over 100 times during my childhood. Now that I have a daughter, I have watched it with her a few times and will watch it again.
Pros: Good old fashioned family movie Cons: I can't think of any
I have just bought (first I rented) the original Annie. It was great! If Lucille Ball was the queen of comedy, the Carol Burnette is the Princess. She was hilarious as the drunken owner of the orphanage that Annie got stuck in.
When I was about 8 years old, I saw Annie on Broadway with the now very famous Sarah Jessica Parker. I loved it so much I went home and listened to the Record for years. Than when they did this movie you could imagine how excited i was. I loved it...
Pros: characters, songs, plot, all around great movie for everyone Cons: none
Annie has always been my favorite movie. I absolutely love every bit of this movie for many reasons. I kind of have a soft spot for musicals because I've always loved singing and dancing ever since I was a little kid.
Pros: Kathy Bates Cons: less theatrical than original version, big dance numbers missing
My 5 1/2 year old daughter wanted to watch this movie when it aired on television but fell asleep before it was over and has wanted to see it since it aired so I bought it for her for Christmas and she has watched it over and over. It is an excellent...
