Director : Will Gluck
Running Time : 118 mins
A foster kid named Annie (Wallis) is given the opportunity to live the high-life when mayoral candidate Will Stacks (Foxx) takes her in as part of a campaign move to make him appear more likeable to the public, but his political advisor Guy Danlily (Cannavale) plans on using Annie to further Will’s political aspirations in a much less permanent fashion.
Fans of the original will most likely dislike this remake, and not because Annie is now black. The musical numbers feel completely tacked on, and this has none of the theatrical feel that all good musicals should have. For a musical to be successful in the cinema, it really needs to look and feel like it is filmed on a ‘set’, so that the feeling of being in a theatre is still present. Instead, this feels like the songs are tacked on, and has at times no sense of being a musical whatsoever.
