(Maybe) is the best song in the musical, imo.
I think that even without Jay-Z, I'd still vote for "Hard Knock Life" as the best song.

The girls doing their Mrs. Hannigan impressions works, as they say, on so many levels. And the acrobatics in this number!

BTW, I'd never noticed it, but Viceroy is right about there being a whole lot of panty shots in this movie. At one point in "Easy Street," Bernadette Peters hikes up her skirt ALL the way. ALL.

when i was little, "easy street" and "never fully dressed" were my favorites; the latter still is, but it's tied with "maybe" now

I hate the belters, they remind me of every girl between the ages of ten and thirteen thinking they could be a Broadway star.

I can't even tell you how much I love this movie. It was the first movie I ever saw in the theater. I was four but I remember how awesome the whole experience was very very clearly. I know most of the songs by heart and many are amazing.
i love "maybe" and it is a great warm-up song
i sing it in the car all the time

I never saw Annie in a theater, but I vividly remember seeing both Star Wars and Grease in the theater, and Grease sticks in my mind WAY more than Star Wars ever did.

we should stage an all-ilx production. We could even have a different Annie for each number so everyone gets a chance at a big song.

my son had a playdate at a friend's house and has been singing Easy Street all week; I forgot that the dad told me a few weeks ago that it was suddenly a big hit over there with his kids.

First time I went to the movies after seeing "Annie" I was most angry that it was NOTHING LIKE in Annie! (NB I wouldve been about 5)

Kinda surprised that there hasn't been any mention of this yet (that I've seen): yet another film version of Annie, this time produced by Will Smith and starring Willow Smith (naturally), with music by Jay-Z.
Discuss!

Did the Will and Willow Smith project mentioned upthread turn into this much more promising version?

Maybe you saw a different trailer to me then. I thought it looked kinda horrible. The girl is cute but Diaz and Foxx, ugh no
― SEEMS TO ME (VegemiteGrrl), Thursday, 28 August 2014 21:18 (nine years ago) link
At least it no longer has Will Smith in it

Yeah, pretty sure I saw the same version you did. The girl looked really good, but the two big name leads looked stiff and terrrrrrrible.

This looks worse than Les Mis. Not something I say lightly, either.

The trailer for this was completely charmless (even Quvenzhané Wallis looked totally unengaged). Yet your review makes it sound more charmless than I could've even imagined.
