Annie

I'm calling it now - Sony's superficial, screeching remake of Annie will go down in history as one of the most trite and terrible kiddie films of the '10s. I pity the foolish parent who, without other options, got dragged along by their kiddies to this terrible and tone-deaf affair during the Christmas season. It's just beyond awful, from the shrill musical numbers to the bland acting and flat script. Fair warning: less demanding kiddies may pick up some of the catchier, Autotuned-to-death songs and sing them for weeks afterward. Rest assured, their renditions will be better than the movie's, but any film that could turn "Moonquake Lake" into an earworm needs to come with a warning label.
