Summary: I enjoyed this hugely as a film - now buy it as a video
Review: This is unalloyed wholesome, fun, enjoyable family entertainment for members of the family of all ages - from 9 to 99! I loved it as a film when it first came out years ago and it is thrilling that it has been (a) on video the past 2 years and now (b) a bestseller on the Amazon video list! Buy it for your children, your elderly aunt and anyone else you can think of for delightful family entertainment for Thanksgiving, Christmas and much else besides.

Summary: Not Cheesy for Little Girls
Review: Cheesy or not - sometimes parents have to weather through the bad movies for thier childrens' sake. I saw this movie when I was a little girl and thought it was the BEST movie I had ever seen! It took my breath away and now it does the same for my daughter. Bash it all you want, but for little girls, its' a dream come true!

Summary: A Wonderful CHILD's FILM
Review: I was born the year after the movie was released, and have been watching the film repeatedly since I had the patience to sit through an entire movie. In fact, I have worn out five copies of the VHS versions. This is an excellent movie for all little girls and is a great gift for birthdays and holidays. I highly recommend all children see this version of Annie, it's more realistic than the 1999 tv production remake.

Summary: Not a huge fan of Annie, but there are exceptions
Review: I'm not a huge fan of Annie in general... something about annoying ten-year-olds. This goes for all versions. (In my day, I could have been Annie, but that's a different story). And I don't like the song "Tommorow" so there you go. I happen to like this film version for oh... four reasons. Burnett, Curry, Reinking, and Peters. There's a lot of talk comparing the 1999 and 1982 version, but for me, I like the darkness and the characterization of '82. I would have liked to seen "NYC" in this movie instead of "Let's Go See the Movies". And of course, neither Annie really impressed me. But that's why I gave it a three.

Summary: CORNY -- YES, BUT SO WHAT!
Review: Last night, ANNIE was shown on one of the movie channels. My almost six year old grand-daughter was visiting, and when ANNIE came on, she ran into the den to watch it. She's "only" seen it a few dozen times before, but not for the last six months or so.While I agree with many of the previous reviewers that ANNIE is corny, poorly plotted, etc., I think that they've done something right that makes all that production values stuff unimportant. My grand-daughter invariably joins in the singing of almost every song. She gets up and dances with Annie, Molly and the gang during every dance number, and she still, figuratively, sits on the edge of her seat during the big chase scene. She, unlike the more sophisticated reviewers here, is in love with Molly. She cries when Molly cries, and feels better when Annie soothes Molly. What more can one ask from a movie about a little red-headed orphan girl than that other little girls fall in love with her story and want to see it over and over. I, for one, would like to see more ANNIE-like movies that can be enjoyed from a pure entertainment aspect by adults, and can get rapt attention from small children (and their grandparents).

Summary: Annie's OK with me!
Review: If you saw the original Broadway musical (I'm talkin' with McArdle), I could understand your disappointment with the movie.... Perhaps you even listened to the soundtrack first, then went to the movie...I could understand your "disappointment." BUT (and there is a but...) I first heard the soundtrack from the Broadway musical - then I listened to it over and OVER again on my adolescent cassette recorder - and I went to the movie as a teen. I must admit, after listening to McArdle sing, there is no comparison - do you REMEMBER she was the biggest child star of the late 70's? Anyway, Carol B. is the BEST in the movie. Quinn could be the only other to play the roll of Annie - and, enough said, I ENJOYED the movie for what it was ------ NOT the musical, mind you, but a GREAT movie in and of itself. Don't watch it thinking it's going to do the musical justice. Don't go to the musical (as if you could?) thinking it will do the film justice. Both/Either are good! Don't let anyone tell you otherwise!

Summary: Loved it as a child, laugh at it as an adult
Review: I first saw Annie when I was two or three years old, and it was one of my favorite childhood movies. I loved the songs, the dancing, the characters... However, I never saw it as being humerous until I recently watched it on the Disney Channel a few weeks ago. (I'm in my 20's now) Watching the movie from an adult's point of view, I was able to pick up on many things that I just didn't "get" as a child. There are no words to describe Carol Burnett's drunken "Little Girls" number, or when she's in her underclothes attempting to seduce Daddy Warbucks in the orphanage. It's hillarous,and I can't help thinking that some of the scenes aren't child appropriate. But who cares, watch the movie, and if you saw it as a child, watch it again.

Summary: This movie is SO WONDERFUL/Dancing is so fun
Review: I was compelled to write a review after reading the bad ones, these people do NOT know what they are talking about. This movie, so wonderfully choreographed by Arlene Phillips (Austin Powers)is so much fun. Carole Burnett is hysterical as Ms. Hannigan, Aileen Quinn (annie) is precious and whoever wrote (never to do anything again) was WRONG. She took time off, by choice, not everyone wants to be Britney, and is now a lead role in Saturday Night Fever. Ann R. is just such a beautiful dancer and watching, "We've got Annie" she is just so great, lets see Daddy Warbucks is great, it encompasses a little history with the Pres. R's New Deal and helps kids to understand the depression. Bernadette P and Carol are great together in "easy street" - the orphans choreography with back flips on the beds and leaps in "hard knock life" are so much fun. This is good, clean, wholesome movie watching. My daughter and I have so much fun watching it. I hate when stupid critics pan things because it doesn't have 50 explosions per minute and sex as the punch line of all the jokes. I can't say enough about how much fun this movie is.
