    I enjoyed the energy that was visible on the screen, and the sumptuousness of the production numbers, and the good humor of several of the performances.

    It's big, colorful, slightly vulgar, occasionally boring and full of talent not always used to its limits.

    Annie turns out to be a reasonably entertaining movie.

    In the end, this musical is not a disgrace - Huston has too much experience to let the thing die. But he cannot summon the magic required to let it live. Watching Annie is like being buried alive in balloons. [21 May 1982]

It starts off better than it finishes as it gets a little dull once Annie leaves the orphanage but Tim Curry notably brings it up a notch when he appears. Aileen Quinn also made one hell of a movie debut as Annie. Musical fans will get their kicks out of it, especially those that loved the Broadway show. Overall it's good, but just.… Expand

    OUCH!!!!! ANNIE is horrible, annoying, and stupid. What an awful production ANNIE is. I have to stop saying the name or else it'll be like BEETLEJUICE (a much BETTER movie) and come out! Let's hope Willow Smith has a good singing voice. Hate to tell you folks; they're remaking it, and she's...the main girl!… Expand
