i thought it was going to be corny and i really don't like musicals, but i thought they updated it in a smart way.

they addressed the "red head white girl" thing, there was content for the nostalgic folk and enough action to keep children engaged.

cameron diaz was funny enough, as was jamie foxx.

happy to see the people who played annie's fake parents. i like/love them both as actors, dad/mom respectively.

plus watching my little cousins dance in their seats to the music didn't hurt either.
