good back-story, and good acting
Aiden Melton
The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
Kaelan Mccaffrey
Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

I love this movie! It was my favorite as a little girl, and it's still one of my favorites ... also has the best cast! #watchit

The cast is superb, and the screenplay is creatively loyal to the original Broadway script, but all that is beside the point. When Walt Disney reflected on the disappointing box-office performance of his animated feature, ALICE IN WONDERLAND (1953), he tersely explained, "It had no heart." We need only compare ALICE to CINDERLLA (1950) to understand what he meant. Perhaps many of his live-actor features met that standard, yet NOWHERE have I ever found a film with so much "heart" as this production. The Broadway original is said to have contained political overtones, and the 1982 motion picture was frankly crafted to reflect John Houston's considerable talents, but this version of ANNIE was made for all of us who want to be moved by a story and still feel jolly-well elated about the way it develops and ends. It takes quite a rare blend of ingredients to create a composition of this quality, no matter what kind of advantages its creators have at the start. This production succeeds for one overriding reason: everyone concerned put every last ounce of heart they possessed into it!

I like this film because Alicia Morton looked like a Tom Boy in that orphanage. She looked like a boy excepted in I Don't Need Anything But You.After that she looked like43 a Tom Boy Again.However It's a great movie.Sarah Hyland who played on One Life to Live was A cute Molly. I remember when that t movie came out. I saw that on Sunday Night.That one scene that I saw was when they brought Alicia Morton in the back of the set During the song I Think I'm Gonna Like It Hear was Because it was very hot on the set.These Orphans in this film are just like the short circus kids on The Electric Company.I like both of these versions.

I used to be obsessed with Annie when I was young and saw all of the movies and the Broadway show. Then, I saw that this film was coming out. I was so excited. I watched it and absolutely loved it. I think it is the best Annie film to date. Why do I think that? the acting. Newcomer Alicia Morton is adorable and has a fantastic voice. She does great in the emotional scenes and is tough at some times and sweet at others. Audra Mcdonald also gives a solid performance and plays the part of grace perfectly. Kudos to Kathy Bates for singing because in an interview I saw she said she'd never sing. She also was hilarious at Ms. Hannigan. Victor Garber, Alan Cumming, and Kristin Chenoweth also gave great performances. Oh and the orphans and Sandy were adorable! I recommend this film. Great for the family.
