Ever since her parents left her as a baby, little Annie (Quvenzhané Wallis) has led a hard-knock life with her calculating foster mother, Miss Hannigan. However, all that changes when hard-nosed billionaire and mayoral candidate Will Stacks (Jamie Foxx) takes her in on the recommendation of his advisers (Rose Byrne, Bobby Cannavale). Stacks believes that he's Annie's guardian angel, but the plucky youngster's confidence and sunny outlook may mean that Annie will save Will instead.

Critics Consensus

The new-look Annie hints at a progressive take on a well-worn story, but smothers its likable cast under clichés, cloying cuteness, and a distasteful materialism.

An auto-tuned nightmare. It is also a musical that seems to hate it's own genre. A complete failure on all fronts.

Not the best musical movie, but Cameron Diaz was extremely stunning in this one. Her acting as Miss Colleen was amazing. It seemed like they rushed the story in the end though. Why have cops all around you and start singing?

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Where to begin? The movie is visually entertaining, but that's the cap of entertainment value. Cast of characters come across as over acted and cliche lines fall flat. I was disappointed. Not worth the watch. Watch the old one, not every remake has to revolve around smartphones and smart@everything."

Another woke movie to change the original script. In addition to being terrible, poor script, over the top acting....worse than high school kids and lame production. Nothing good about this movie. Waste of money.

You may grimace at some points, but kids might like it anyway.

There's nothing wrong with reworking the score of Annie -- as this film does -- but too often, the movie seems a little embarrassed to be a musical at all, making it seem as if it's having a crisis of confidence.

The song selection and its presentation seems out of his control.

Visually, Gluck keeps things zipping along with clever use of reflections and a snappy 21st century take on a car chase...

An attempt to recreate an icon for a new age but falls flatter than Miss Hannigan's high notes.

Quvenzhané Wallis is truly up to the task of playing the perceptively precocious Annie.
