I took the girls to see Annie on opening night at the Parkwood Cinema in Waite Park. The reboot stars Jamie Foxx as New York city mayoral candidate and hard-nosed tycoon Will Stacks, newcomer Quvenzhané Wallis as Annie, and Cameron Diaz as the mean foster mom Miss Hannigan.

I thought it was cute. Not as good as the original (what reboot or remake ever is). It's exactly what it should be. A modern take on an old classic. The entire family will enjoy it. Its got a run time of 118 minutes and is rated PG.

Here's the official movie trailer. For more on the movie and cast, click here.

My favorite part of the movie was definitely the updated soundtrack.

Sia's take on "You're Never Fully Dressed Without a Smile," was brilliant.

The girls wanted to give me their two cents on the movie. P.S. the comments about "Chicken McNuggets and Mountain Dew" will make sense once you see the movie."

Here's some reviews of the movies I found on YouTube.

Of course I had to include the Saturday Night Live parody.
