Review of Annie

I have to admit I have no idea why I want to see this other than Quvenzhane Wallis who is an excellent young actress. Will Gluck is a decent enough director though so this might be an okay film. I like the way they started it off giving us a little Easter egg. "Hard Knock Life" and "The Sun'll Come Out Tomorrow" are the only songs here I particularly cared to hear. Most of the rest of the music felt like bad Kids Bop music except maybe "I'm Gonna Like it Here" and "Big Opportunity". I can't help but think that some of them either were dubbed or they used a lot of auto-tune. This is by far the worst performance I have seen of Cameron Diaz and in my opinion that says a lot. There are a few interesting cameo appearances I didn't see coming. The chemistry between Jamie Foxx and Quvenzhane Wallis was great. This could have been much better though. I knew there was no way it would be as good as the original. I say give this one a pass.
