LOL - we were at a 4:05pm showing of Annie today, ourselves. :D We all really liked it; I was a bit nervous, as I saw it had only a 4.8/10 rating on imdb.com, but I thought overall it did a nice job and was charming. I could have done without any of the new songs, and you notice that they never said Annie's parents actually turned up dead - which is kind of essential, don't you think, for Annie to give up her dream of finding them and being able to say a wholehearted "yes" to Stacks? I also think that Stacks should have reacted a whole lot more strongly to his guy who negotiated the whole "fake parent" thing

Wow- it got really terrible reviews on Rotten Tomatoes, too. Which is a shame, because I really liked it. I do agree the new songs didn't do a whole lot, but I think I was okay with Annie's parents not being dead. For one, I think with the original Annie, parents abandoning their children for a short time and then coming back for them was more likely to happen due to the Depression, but also social media was so emphasized in this, that I think that I could believe that after all her publicity, Annie realized if her parents really did want her back, they could now find her. Although that should have been more explicit, I guess

I really liked it too, but like you I was iffy on Cameron's Miss Hannigan and liked the songs the less they messed with them. It's like they wanted to update the music but weren't sure what sort of vibe they were going for, and I don't think it worked a lot of the time.
Still, though, the kids were adorable, and auuuuugh Pepper. I continue to and always will have tremendous Pepper feelings.
