I don’t really even know what to commend in this movie. Apart from the acting performances that are a must in a musical, there’s not much else. Cameron Diaz is playing a bit of a bitch, but not so much so that it’s any memorable. It almost looks like they shot the movies because of Quvenzhané Wallis, who was showing off good and proper. As far as the music goes, it was uninteresting, the story was overly excited the American way. The result was absolutely nonexistent and if it weren’t for the actors, it would be a complete flop.

Some films simply captivate me, no matter how trivial, straightforward, or predictable the story is. That is the case with Annie. It’s an extremely positive musical that does not attempt to hide it. There are trivial twists, but it doesn't matter at all, because the film energized me so much that I can't give it anything but the highest rating. Quvenzhané Wallis is absolutely stunning and is the star of this film. Her performance is absolutely incredible even compared to some of her older colleagues. In general, the child characters are also great.
