SirHumpalot Would it kill Hollywood to make an adaptation of the actual Annie comic strip just once? Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/07/23 Full Review James G T.P Henson chews up and spits out the scenery as a campy Miss Hannigan. Celine Smith is also brilliant as well as all the orphans. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/14/23 Full Review robert r "The latest production of 'Annie' breaks the mold with its unconventional casting, breathing new life into a classic that many, myself included, feared had been overplayed. Surprisingly, it's these deviations from the norm that make this the most captivating 'Annie' I've witnessed since its premiere. The choice of lead actress is a standout example of this fresh approach. While she may not fit the traditional 'cute' archetype, her endearing performance adds depth to the character, making you love Annie for her essence rather than her appearance. Harry Connick Jr. shines brilliantly, showcasing his multifaceted talents in acting, singing, and jazz. Nicole Scherzinger brings grace and vocal prowess to her role as Grace, while Taraji P. Henson steals the show with her magnetic presence. A special nod must be given to the production number 'We'd Like to Thank You Herbert Hoover.' It was nothing short of a Brechtian delight, adding a unique flair to the show. This 'Annie' challenges preconceptions and emerges triumphantly, proving that sometimes, straying from the beaten path can lead to remarkable results." Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/19/24 Full Review peter w Nearly a month after its release and RT won't show audience reviews "cause the movie hasn't released yet". This site has become such a joke, its hard to believe I ever trusted this site for objective ratings. There's a movement in Hollywood to take one group of people's work and give it to another group. The critics love it, but the audience keeps telling Hollywood to stop and they won't so bomb after bomb gets made with no sign of stopping. Odd isn't it? How one can afford to lose money constantly and it doesn't even slow them down. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Maybe live tv musicals aren't my thing but man I liked the wiz that was on NBC a couple years ago but man musicals on tv are so boring. It's like watching Hamilton on tv. I much prefer it live in person instead. The true experience of Musical theatre can't be comprehended on a tv or movie theater. That's why it's so special. It needs to be watched in person but of course because of the pandemic and all, Broadway is closed right now unfortunately. But in the meantime we can watch this. But man I couldn't sit though it. It's too slow and it's on tv so it's so much harder to pay attention to a musical. If it was in person you could fully grasp.
