Annie (1982)
The story tells of the new adventures of an innocent girl named Annie. Annie is a slim young orphan who lives in a miserable orphanage run by the tyrannical Miss Hannigan. Over time, Annie is chosen to spend a short time at the residence of the Rich Weapon Funds, Oliver Warsbucks. And quickly, they appeal to the hearts of family employees, even Oliver. Oliver decided to help Annie find her missing parents long by offering them a reward if they came to him and prove their identity. Perhaps things may change, as Miss Honeygan, her brother and her partner plan to impersonate these people to get a reward for themselves, as it seems that Annie will be in great danger.

[O]verly long, uninspired, and frequently awful...August 30, 2004
They don't build movies like this anymore.June 24, 2006
The songs never take off into anything very much, the whole atmosphere (apart from the climax) is distinctly stagebound, and Huston merely reveals why he had never before in his long career been hired to make a musical.October 19, 2004
Huston's biggest misfire; ponderous and sluggish.April 16, 2007
This charming musical based on the comic strip character Little Orphan Annie features many memorable songs and pleasant dance numbers.January 02, 2011
Tale of cute orphan is great for the whole family.April 16, 2007
The movie offers an insulting 'let them eat cake' gesture toward the 1982 audience, but the pacing is so ragged and the characters so lifeless that few will be able to stay awake long enough to feel offended.December 12, 2004
Serviceable version of the Broadway show. Burnett shines as Miss Hannigan.April 16, 2007
Many people said John Huston was an odd choice to direct Annie and he proves them right.October 23, 2004
It's like some kind of dumb toy that doesn't do anything or go anywhere, but it is fun to watch as it spins mindlessly around and around.May 20, 2016
What makes "Annie" so winning is that, while it could have easily been just another cutesy-poo Hollywood musical, it happens to be as gritty, genial and boisterous as little Annie herself.April 16, 2011
John Huston is the wrong director, lacking appreciation for the musical genre
