When it was announced that the classic musical would be remade in 2014 with a black Annie and Daddy Warbucks, there was a huge backlash from the totally-not-racist corners of the internet. So sad that they couldn't look past Hard-to-spell-name Wallace's skin color and see that there were a host of legitimate reasons to think this movie was awful:

-The movie tries way, WAY too card to be cool and hip and modern and into what the kids like, to the point that Poochie would be telling them to tone it down. The songs are given a heavy dose of auto-tune and post-production, even with actors who can sing like Jamie Foxx, and every one is accompanied by a wink-at-the-camera joke about how weird it is that the characters are breaking into song, even though IT'S A FUCKING MUSICAL.

-Jamie Foxx as Daddy Wa--sorry, Will Stacks, a mayoral candidate who is a wholly unlikable character: he's selfish, egotistical, greedy, and hates other people, especially if they're homeless. Nothing about him comes across as someone who you want to root for, and he's so vile that we all know he's only going to warm up to Annie because that's how the musical goes.

-Cameron Diaz as Miss Hannigan does something I didn't think was possible: she plays Miss Hannigan TOO BROADLY. She chews the scenery like she's got an eating disorder, which is even more head-scratching when the movie tries to make her sympathetic by giving her a backstory where she got kicked out of C&C Music Factory right before their big break, leading to her reform in the film's climax.

-Annie can't read...which rips more holes in the plot than there are in the soles of her shoes. If Annie can't read, how did she read the restaurant receipt with the message from her parents? How did she read the document from the social worker the used to search for her parents? And how did HER TEACHERS not notice?! So many plotholes, and not a single one of them needed to exist, because this is a completely pointless subplot that adds nothing to the movie.

It's sad when the Twilight parody in your movie is more appealing than the movie itself.
