What the Critics say | ||
| Cape Argus / The Star Theresa Smith  Hard knock life for Foxx, Diaz. | 10 |  |
| ReelViews James Berardinelli Most remakes are unnecessary but Annie is a bigger offender than many. | 10 | |
| Rolling Stone Peter Travers It's a hard-knock life for anyone who has to suffer through this ill-advised update on the Broadway classic. | 0 |  |
| ScreenIt T. Durgin So a mixed bag, but not one worth paying theater admission money to see. It's not a terrible flick. The sun WILL come out tomorrow. | 9 | |

| Rottentomatoes tomatometer Tomatometer The new-look Annie hints at a progressive take on a well-worn story, but smothers its likable cast under clichés, cloying cuteness, and a distasteful materialism. | 6 | |
| Movie Review Query Engine MRQE critics   | 9 | |
| CommonSenseMedia Staff evaluation Update of classic musical is cute but a bit hokey. | 10 | |
