Editorial Review:

Product Description:
Broadway musical based on the little orphan annie comic strip. A young orphan girls adventures in finding a family that will take her. Studio: Sony Pictures Home Ent Release Date: 08/23/2005 Starring: Albert Finney Tim Curry Run time: 127 minutes Rating: Pg Director: John Huston

Amazon.com:
Charmless and dull, this adaptation of the Broadway hit stars Aileen Quinn as the depression-era moppet, Albert Finney as Daddy Warbucks, Carol Burnett as the cruel headmistress at an orphanage, and Tim Curry as a villain. The film never gets its legs, and there is no sense of setting; it's almost as if the whole thing is happening in a void. John Huston nominally directed--no doubt to make money between his smaller, cheaper masterpieces--but one would have thought he would invest something of himself in here. --Tom Keogh




Rating: - It's a mess, but I still love it...
What's not to like?

The singing is spotty, the musical numbers are all over the place, the little girl is highly annoying, the film is borderline preposterous and Albert Finney looks bored but we never are (bored that is). The great thing about `Annie' is that no matter how bad it really is you can't help but like it. I've seen this movie a hundred times (granted I was very little for the majority of them) and I could watch it again tomorrow (bet you're bottom dollar).

Rating: - Okay Version
Having spent a month & a half performing in the orchestra for the stage version of Annie, I thought I'd enjoy seeing how the movie version compared to what we did. I was disappointed, to say the least. Especially since John Huston (one of my favorite directors) was at the helm.

To me, Annie is family fare, and this movie had some elements not appropriate. There was one expression of profanity, the remainder were some suggestive dance sequences I was embarrassed to have my daughters ... Read More

Rating: - Get the Kathy Bates version
This version, which was released in 1982, is out of date, not as entertaining and not as appropriate for very young children as the 1999 version with Kathy Bates. In this version, Carol Burnett is drunk and mean, the dangerous scenes are a little too scary for little girls, and the dancing makes me embarrassed to have lived through the 80's. Still, it's a fun, classic movie and I wouldn't say it's bad. I just think the Kathy Bates version is so much better and I would buy that one first. Our three ... Read More

Rating: - A beloved movie!!
ALL of my kids (ages 8, 6, and 3) ADORE this movie. They wanted me to get the soundtrack so they could listen to it in the car, too. The singing and dancing are wonderful and easily keep the attention of my wiggly rugrats. A true must-have family classic that never disappoints.

Rating: - WIDESCREEN, Not FOOLSCREEN
Until it is in a Widescreen, They can keep it.
Why would anyone want to watch Part of a movie?

Imagine going to a Movie theater with a 30 X 50 foot screen and watching the movie with a Curtin covering 20 feet of both sides of the screen.

I Do Not do FOOLSCREEN, Ever.

ALL movies should be offered in Widescreen for those who like to see the Whole Picture and a FOOLSCREEN for those who only want part of it.

To those who think you are getting rooked ... Read More
