My bias, up front, I LOVE MUSICALS. Annie, is a musical. I love Annie. If I love it you should. Go see Annie.Traditionally musicals have stupid plots. Annie has a stupid plot. You dont go to a musical for the the plot you go for the music and dancing. The plots may be clever and amusing (The Rocky Horror Picture Show) and they may be groaners but you dont go for the plot YOU GO BECAUSE ITS A MUSICAL. Did Busby Berkley, Oh Oh Oh Oklahoma, Showboat, Music Man, etc. have stupid plots, sho nuff. Shit, you could even make good musicals out of the Phantom and Mandrake the Magician or Alley Oop and Im surprised the morons in Hollywood havent. Alto Danny Elfman left Oingo Boing to get rich writing movie scores, I even loved their musical. Is this a good representation of the comic Little Orphan Annie? Puuleeeze!!!!!!! Its terribly perverted. Punjab and the Asp arent in the movie and Annie doesnt really ever get into a dangerous situation. It would be better than Wolverine to have Punjab throw a cloak over the villain who shrinks into a different dimension and comes back pleading, Just tell me what you want but dont do that again. Even the Hulk would run for cover if the Asp suggested that something he did was wrong. They could have photo shopped the eyeballs but all these folks have irises and pupils, what a drag. Jamie Fox as Daddy Warbucks, gimmie a break. Instead of a wimpy wig Daddy was tall and bald and commanded everyones respect without asking for it, would never have wanted to be mayor and certainly would never have pandered to the media to obtain his goals. He took what he wanted and occasionally checked up on Annie to rescue her from whatever weird stuff shed gotten into. Jamie has some good dance moves but he aint no Daddy Warbucks. And that dog warnt no Sandy. Of course, in Little Orphan Annie the message was, Lets get in trouble. Whereas here they inject a social message and that doesnt bother me. So Annies a little black girl, OK (Ive never seen the stage musical). So Fox admits to himself that he has the hots for his white secretary. Id have swapped spit with her too. White, black, red, yellow, green, purple, Ive tried em all and Ive loved em all so I cant blame him for that. So Cameron Diaz (pant, pant) was over the top hammy, loved it. The movie provided employment for scores of CUTE child actors (helps the economy you know). So smoke a pound of weed and go see it (helps the new MJ stores, you know).
