Annie Movie Review

Hey Guys!

So I saw the movie Annie over the weekend. I actually wanted to see The Hobbit; The Battle of the Five Armies  movie but it was my sister's birthday and she got to pick. I wasn't expecting too much from this movie considering I didn't even like the original Annie but.............I ended up really liking it.




I know that they changed the race of Annie this time which I think was awesome because Quvenzhané Wallis made the character lovable, cute and funny. I loved the new remix of Hard-Knock Life and the choreography was adorable.

 Yes some moments were very, very corny but I think it made the film even better. I liked the incorporation of social media into the movie because nowadays it's very realistic. I mean c'mon, if some guy named Alex who worked at target could trend worldwide and get on Ellen, I'm sure a mayor candidate's foster kid could get more than a couple retweets.

I loved the actors but sometimes I felt that Cameron Diaz was trying too hard (I still love you though Cameron!).



 I have to say, there was one moment in the movie where I was squirming in my seat do to the corniness overload; it was the part where Mr. Stacks was singing to Annie after he rescued her. Foxx looked extremely out of place with choreography and I couldn't help but feel embarrassed for him. But then of course I got over it and joined in the course of "Awwwwww"'s with the rest of my theater.

Also, I know that there's been a lot of negative attitude towards this movie but I don't understand why. I think critics forget who the targeted audience is sometimes. This was Annie, the children's musical not Les Miserables! People need to cut the movie some slack! It was funny, cute, and it kept the audience entertained. Also, if people are mad about the whole 'Annie is supposed to be white" thing, they can go suck on a lime because all I know is Quvenzhané Wallis did a great job as Annie, in fact she was a hundred times better than the original ginger girl.

Overall, Annie had a great soundtrack, awesome choreography and a perfect cast. Nice job Wiil Gluck and the Carters!

Go see Annie! Also don't forget to comment and tell me how you feel. Remember this is how I see things.
