Critics Consensus

John Huston proves an odd choice to direct, miring Annie in a sluggish, stagebound mess of an adaptation, but the kids are cute and the songs are memorable.

A kid with Annie's moxie deserves more. Or perhaps less. What she deserves is an atmosphere of innocence, warmth and inventiveness, to let the film generate the joy that must have enveloped theater audiences over the past five years.

4/10

Aileen Quinn is a delightful Annie, with good feet, an infectious smile, and a perfectly pitched voice. It's not her fault she is used mainly as a performing prop, as is the spectacularly graceful Ann Reinking, playing Warbucks' secretary.

Producer Ray Stark and director John Huston have relied more on the rigid style of the comic strip than on the high-steppin' pizazz' of the Broadway show. They've transformed a big-hearted hit that won seven Tonys into a small-minded musical.

Dreadful. A clockwork lemon that’s bloated, charmless, and artificial.

You can always feel the heavy exertion behind the spectacle, which I suppose is somehow fitting for a hard knock life.

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom

This is good. I need to watch it again. I watched it a lot as a kid. Probably my favorite movie back then. Surprised it's lower than an 8 on here and IMDB. I watched the Disney version too but I remember nothing about that one. Except the New York song or whatever I guess.

Great because of the Hard knock life song it is very catchy and Miss Hannigan is so mean and cruel and Rooster Miss Hannigan’s brother tries to kill Annie during the climax of Annie climbing the drawbridge and Rooster chasing him and there’s other great songs like Sandy, Maybe and Tomorrow, Little girls, Easy street and the actor Carol Burnett the one who plays Miss Hannigan is so funny she is a very good actor and so is Tim Curry who played Rooster and Alieen Quinn plays Annie is a very good singer. Great movie 9/10

I haven’t seen this since I was a kid so I wanted to give it a nostalgia rewatch. There were some funny and good parts and good performances, however there were a lot of inaccuracies for the time period that were put in for the sake of entertainment. Overall, it’s a decent and well-made musical though!
