- Excerpt: Gluck’s whipped up a cute, frothy concoction for family holiday viewing. In one of the few new songs written for this second screen version, ‘Opportunity,’ Wallis proves more than capable of carrying a tune.
- Jim Dixon @ Examiner.com
- Excerpt: Although the venerable sugar shock-inducer has been reimagined by a new creative team including director and co-writer Will Gluck (“Easy A,” “Friends With Benefits”) and producers Will Smith and Jay-Z, it remains “Annie” and all dietary warnings remain in full force and effect. If anything, this uneven,updated reboot is even more sugar-coated.
- Mark Dujsik @ Mark Reviews Movies
- Excerpt: Most of its successes and shortcomings are primarily the result of the movie’s own design, and there’s something admirable about that.

- Excerpt: A cloying, superficial debacle…

- Excerpt: “Annie” is sunny, jubilant cotton candy with more than enough painless entertainment value to go around. It might get a hard knock for not always working, but it doesn’t deserve hate mail when you won’t leave the theater without a smile.
- João Pinto @ Portal Cinema [Portuguese]
- Excerpt: Enfim, “Annie” é um desperdício de tempo e uma das piores coisas que poderia ter acontecido a jovem carreira de Quvenzhané Wallis que, após uma promissora estreia, perde-se num péssimo filme sem nada de positivo.

- Excerpt: “Annie” is a difficult production to adapt for the screen, but this may be as good as it can get. It’s flawed, it’s corny, it’s silly, it’s mushy – but it’s still entertaining.
- Tom Santilli @ Examiner.com
- Excerpt: But if the original Annie means nothing to you, there is a chance this one won’t either.
