Annie

Sci fi dystopian horror flick where a child and her dog become sex slaves and die in an open sewer.

Aww, all of you angry unloved fuckers bitching about this movie. The precise reason you're all unloved.

Whenver I watch this, I feel like kicking Annie in the face.

The songs are annoying and so is the girl. A touch of Trading Places would spice this movie right up. Just picture it: Daddy Warbucks, growing restless with his money, decides to pull off a social experiment, pulling a chipper little girl from rags to riches with the sole intention of throwing her back down to rags after she's acquired a taste for 'the life'. A small child's precociousness is shattered forever as a rich bald man crushes her human spirit. Sounds like fun to me.

Awful. The music and almost everything else in this movie was very irritating. Tim Curry was in blackface. Racist and stereotypical portrayal of an Indian man. I hated it.

OK for what it is, but what it is sucks sweaty bollocks. Fucking musicals. *snorts derisively*

I refuse to acknowledge this garbage in any kind of positive light. Running kicks to the face for all involved in putting this or any other Annie-derivative sugar-coated crap into any facet of popular culture. This just in: I went to the same college as Aileen Quinn, and I will now officially never get the stink of proximity to people involved with this film off of my skin. Damn it times infinity.

Cute and charming family film (made by the most cruel character from the most cold film in history).

It's just so sickly sweet. A few of the songs are nice, but some others aren't very good. The young girl playing the titular role is cute, but not a great actress. The thing that felt the most 'off' was the direction. John Huston directed some great films, but this was a truly odd choice for him, and it shows. His direction just doesn't work for a musical. I imagine the stage version might be good, but I can't say I really liked this too much.

Never really been a big orphan annie fan, to be entirely honest with you.

Good for all ages. If you're a guy and you don't like Annie, then you have some serious Guys-gotta-be-tough issues. This movie is awesome and the songs and the little girl as Annie are awesome. Carol Burnett is awesom.

Blessedly lacking the sharper, cynical impulses of THE SOUND OF MUSIC…. No, but really: probably the best film you could get from such drippy source material; baffling why an ageing Huston would choose this material, though it’s possible he sees himself in the soft hearted curmudgeon Warbucks, who Finney imbues with a distinctly Hustonesque air. The film looks handsome, and is generally well-performed, but feels both pinched and bloated, puttering along slowly until its bizarre action climax(!).

This is great family-night fare. Albert Finney is adorable as the cantankerous Oliver Warbucks. The songs are well done and there is plenty of humor.

It's long, it has no punch, half of it is boasting riches, and many songs are sang by people with unpleasant voices. The theme song and the Hard Knock life ae catchy but in retrospect for being known from elsewhere.

So sappy sweet it is painful.

One of those not that good but insanely fun musicals I grew up with.

What drew Huston to this project exactly? The desire to be commercially viable? A big pay cheque? I'm sure it is more entertaining on stage, but on film it is a clunky, graceless affair; a string of mechanically choreographed show pieces that charm at first but grate quickly with their contrived cheer. My childhood lied to me! Again!"

Guilty pleasure.

Weak plot line and more sacharin than a diet coke factory. However, Carol Burnett saves the film from blandness with a good comedic performance. Far from disasterous but very one dimensional. A couple of good numbers with a few one liners, however the plot just lets it down.

A great family musical.

TOMORROW! TOMORROW! I LOVE YOU, TOMORROW, YOU'RE ONLY A DAY AWAAAY! Coming from a man who loves nothing more than barbarian and gladiator movies, you have no heart if you don't like this movie.

I hate musicals. Hate them. So the fact that I really enjoy this should speak volumes.

This was a "family" favorite when I was little. Not sure why my mom and sister loved it so much. Not terrible, but it felt dated when I saw it for the first time around 1990.

My favourite movie as a kid. For me, it's a heart-warming classic. As an adult, I finally understand all of those scenes with Miss Hannigan.

Good

Everyone talks very loudly with lots of aggressive smiling. It's aesthetically dull, and Punjab is a red herring. I did enjoy the bad guys and some of the songs.

A classic, heartwarming musical expose of the moral inferiority of poor people and how awesome rich people are.

I loved Albert Finney in this.

Poor John Huston. Poor Albert Finney. In some ways this movie is better than the Broadway show on which it is based (for being closer to Harold Gray's original comic strip both in detail and spirit -- even Punjab and the Asp make non-speaking apperances) . . . but that isn't saying much. The show had a couple of good songs, a real barn-burning performance by Dorothy Loudon, and not much else . . . the movie is simply flat and lacking spirit. The whole venture -- stage, screen and TV remake --

hated the comic so I KNEW I was gonna hate the movie... Was forced to seem it on the big Screen when it first came out. Nowadays it should be seen as a breach of the Geneva Convention... john Waters uses the Soundtrack in a fun way in the movie "Serial Mom" though Toe knee :-)

I have no idea why anyone would ever like this fucking movie? Unless you're a ginger... are you a ginger?

The cast is good, it's just not a great musical.

Not fond of musicals but for kids this is a classic.

I'm a musical fan and there's a lot of charm here, unfortunately it just doesn't have many memorable songs or even slight plausibility in the plot. The villains here are so far beyond even Home Alone-standards that it's laughable and slightly painful.

Entertainment: 4/4 -- dancing, singing kids, some of the most talented for their age kids are more talented. Memorable songs. Spirit: 2/3. Sustainability: 1/3.

Asides from the lowkey cringey racism, the songs are great and the adult actors do a good job, but when it's centered on a little girl who can only sing in that Musical Singing voice that's just grating, then there's a problem. The problem is only just buried by everyone else, especially Carol Burnett

This gave me cavities. This gave me diabetes. It is the most syrupy, saccharine, cloying, irritating, awful, and overrated musical of all time. Annie can go and stick her Tomorrow up her redheaded ass.

When me and my sisters were kids, this movie was our life!

I DO NOT give a shit, and this movie pisses me off.

A landmark of orphan-chic

The sun will come out...

fun movie

Falls under the Pullman Clause of shitty movie musicals, which states that any film featuring an actor not normally known for their singing talent (in this case, Albert Finney) is bound to be entertaining. Also "Hard-Knock Life." And Tim Curry, who may in fact be better than you.
