It is a great movie. They say a bad word and there is drinking and it's scary. It can get a little boring for kids at some parts. My musical theater group is singing and dancing to some of the songs.

Ehh 1999 version is better
I don't want to be harsh so I'll just say the only good thing about this movie is Carol Burnett.

A cute little movie for the whole family...
My middle school Drama class is doing Annie for our play, so we had to watch this movie in class to get a feel for what we were doing. I was shocked that this stood up pretty well in the test of time, unlike some other cheesy movies from the '80s. I was also surprised at the frequent, yet mild adult content in this movie. Miss Hanigan (played by Carol Burnett, who should have won an Oscar for her amazing job in this role) is a severe alcoholic who likes saying G** and hits on random guys, such as the laundryman and the policeman. Miss Hanigan also abuses the orphans, who are just as mean to her; Miss Hanigan's brother, Rooster, isn't much better. In the climax of the movie, Rooster hits his sister and chases Annie up a giant bridge, but only to fall quite a ways down and be arrested. Plus, in two memorable scenes, a crazy dude trys to bomb a house and Annie beats up a bunch of other kids. Overall, this movie is good for 7-year-old's and up, but young kids should stay away. Parents, you won't groan through this either; this is actually pretty decent, as far as kiddie movies go.

AMAZING MOVIE! AWSOME SONGS!!!
I love this movie! That bad role models are when rooster and his girl pretend to be Annie's parents and when Annie sneaks into the laundry basket to get herself out of the orphanage. The good role models are Annie when she conforts some of the orphans and Ms. Hanagen who was bad in the begging tells Rooster not to kill Annie. She becomes good. The violence is Rooster trying to kill Annie by chasing her. Ms. Hanagen drinks alcohol.

It's a classic!
i love this movie so much and watched it over a dozen of times. plus i know every song. When i first saw it, i never paid attention to "sexy stuff" ms.hannigan did. Though she was a drunk, so stay aware of that. Her personality is what makes the movie a little inappropriate for little tiny kids. I reccomend to 7+, it's a great movie for the whole family.

It's a classic!
Annie is a WONDERFUL movie for ages 2 to 102! It's funny, interesting, and a blast from the past! If you like singing and dancing, this movie is really for you. It adds music but doesn't just blurt it out like High School Musical does. Yes, there is drinking and flirting but just tell your child this is from the older days when we didn't know that drinking was bad for you and so people would drink more often than they should. You really shouldn't let all the negative let you from not watching this movie. It's really a great movie that will keep you laughing, heart-warmed, and so much more.

Great
It's really good and it has good messages throughout the movie " so ya just gotta hang on til tomorrow" it's saying when times are rough, be happy and you have tomorrow and even though the movie is a little scary, it's a classic everyone should see.

This one hurts bad. It's so stupid, and from the opening credits, it has terrible singing.
My rating: PG for scary images/peril, alcohol use, some sensuality, and two uses of language.

Annie is a great movie. Fun for the whole family ensues. This is a complete and total classic and completely loveable for anyone who likes musicals. the actors all have stunning voices and there's no need to mention how it all works together.
