Review of Annie (2014) by Dylan D — 06 Mar 2015
Annie may not be the single worst remake out there, but it's a far cry from the original's charm and grace. The film, even as it carries much the same tune with an updated rhythm, feels perpetually empty and lifeless.
The film enjoys few bright spots -- Quvenzhané Wallis being the most obvious -- and feels otherwise off-balance and uncertain in pacing, structure, theme, and surrounding performances beyond Wallis and Byrne.
An interesting side note: both this Annie and the 1982 version were nominated for Golden Globes and Razzie awards alike.
