A Timeless Classic, but with a few issues I recently sat down this week and watched this film for the very first time, It's exactly as everyone has described...a very charming and sweet film that any age would enjoy. It has many broadway style songs in the film to make it even more fun. While it's a great film it does come with some issues and these are just my opinion alone so let's get into it..
Pros:
Casting for Orphan Annie was a perfect fit, Aileen Quinn played the part beautifully and Albert Finney as Oliver Warbucks was spot on.
Carol Burnett had all the funny lines and nailed them (Personally was the best part of the movie)
Great writing
Had a few good songs but there were actually a couple I didn't think were necessary and I'll get into that in a bit
Cons:
As I was saying before, While the movie had some good songs there were like two musicals numbers I didn't think were necessary like "We got Annie" and "Easy Street"
Bernadette Peters character just absolutely looked bored and wasn't really interesting enough
(Spoiler) The chase ending, Look I think this part could have avoided having Annie hanging off a bridge and just have Punjab rescue her from the top of the bridge and knocking Rooster down would have made more sense. But I'm not the director
Overall, It's a great film but with a few little nitpicks I have
