Ever since her parents left her as a baby, little Annie 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 takes her in on the recommendation of his advisers. 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.

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.

This film’s biggest mistake is that it brings Annie into the 21st century, only to discover that in this century she doesn’t actually have anything relevant to say.

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.

One of the best movies of the 2010s. Amazing music, scenery, acting, chemistry, just such a cute movie. A lot of people write bad reviews, but I think they're just blinded by nostalgia. It's modernized! She doesn't have red hair! It's so different from the original! They are all dumb complaints. It's good that it's different, I mean, who wants something that they already have? If it were not modernized and the same as the original, what is the point of making another movie when you can watch the original? I was a kid when this came out, and I thought it was the only Annie. I got it on DVD and watched it so many times, I was so surprised to see bad reviews. It's an amazing movie, and it's not just me; all the kids of the 2010s were obsessed with this movie. My parents and grandparents love it too, it's great, give it a chance. Great family movie!

I really like it it’s different but i absolutely love it different can be good I love the music. I love how modern it is different take on the movie and I think that’s what’s good about it. It doesn’t have to be the same as the original. It’s different and unique and I absolutely love the movie.

I didn't love the first. Don't like a politically correct remake any more than the first...

This is a musical right? Well, it feels more like a cheap comedy. Its source material makes up like 39% of the film (even though I have little interest in the musical). And Cameron Diaz is a creepy Miss Hannigan
