The original Annie was and still is an exception movie so was interested to see what a modern remake would bring.
Well the simple answer is nothing. The cast of children don't look like poor kids with a hard knock life, rather the clean well fed model kids. The orphanage has 7 or 8 kids rather than the original 25-30 kids and Cameron Diaz is piór casting for Hannigan compared to Carol Burnet who was great in the original. The whole thing seemed like a weak unnecessary remake where I struggled to find any area that is an improvement on the original.
