I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
I really like this film! The songs are great and extremely catchy and the main character Annie is very likeable and you instantly root for her. Most of the characters are memorable and likeable, including the villains. The film really gets you involved, and sometimes you can't help but sing along. The only part I wasn't so fond of was near the end of the film when Rooster was chasing Annie up the bridge. The scene went on for a while and just seemed a bit weird and out of place. But this part does not detract from the overall great film.
"Annie" is the epitome of a family film in every way. From it's very catchy musical numbers to it's strong heart shown by it's talented cast, this film will make your heart sing even if you are in a bad mood. This film has some obvious faults, as it does not need to be two hours long and some plot devices seem to be thrown in to push the story along, but all-in-all, I had a blast watching it. For the type of film that it is, it's dialogue and lyrics are all well-written and it is very well-produced. "Annie" is the type of kid that you wish you could have been friends with growing up, due to her sheer likability. "Annie" is one of the most enjoyable musicals I have seen. For anyone ho has not seen it, it definitely earns a recommendation from me.
In 1982,a film adaptation from the Broadway musical "Annie" by Charles Strouse, Martin Charnin and Thomas Meehan was released on the movie screen.It was based on the 1924 comic strip Little Orphan Annie.It stars Albert Finney,Carol Burnett,Bernadette Peters,Ann Reinking,Tim Curry,Geoffrey Holder,Edward Herrmann and the young Aileen Quinn as Annie.This tells the story of a young orphan that was taken by the richest man in America,the billionaire Oliver Warbucks.Set during The Great Depression,an orphan named Annie is the voice of hope among the other orphans who live under the supervision of the drunken Miss Hannigan.She always believe that her parents are going to come back for her one day.Then,the orphanage was visited by Grace Farrell,the personal secretary of the conservative politician Oliver Warbucks.To help Mr Warbucks' image among the people,Annie was brought by Grace to the Warbucks estate for a weeklong visit.The orphan's positive attitude towards life wins the hearts of the people in the estate from the servants and politicians alike.She eventually finds herself singing the song of hope "Tomorrow" to President Roosevelt.A search for her parents was conducted which created an opportunity for a few people - Miss Hannigan,Rooster and Lily - to scam some money that placed Annie in great danger.Well,Annie isn't really one perfect movie.But nevertheless,it was fun,enjoyable and entertaining.The songs like "Tomorrow" was definitely fun to listen to.The dance numbers were pleasant as well. This is one family movie that a lot of people will enjoy.No question about it if only they will look over the particulars which would lessen their enjoyment like an unrealistic story especially with Annie's adventures inside the Warbucks estate and the lack of explanation of her extremely positive attitude in life despite growing up in an orphanage with the hope of seeing her parents.But overall,it truly succeeds if its objective is to allow viewers to enjoy.Definitely, Aileen Quinn as little Annie shines for she is definitely charming!!!!
I cannot count how many times I have watched this film. As a child I would watch it almost daily and as an adult I watch it whenever it comes on the television. That was until my daughter came along and discovered the beauty that is Annie... so we have watched it time and time together, so much so I had to buy a new DVD copy as we wore ours out!Regardless of this being an old film, it does not disappoint, it can be enjoyed by all ages and it will be timeless.These days the story brings me to tears. The music and the songs are fantastic, as are the child actors. The singing, the dancing, the story line have the ability to stir up so many different emotions. And as Daddy Warbucks can vouch, Annie has the ability to win over even the most unavailable hearts.As a viewer you will not be disappointed with this film, if you haven't already, watch it.
