Annie

There are several versions of this movie and I enjoy each one.  This one stars Jamie Foxx as Will Sacks, a wealthy mobile phone mogul and mayoral candidate.  Quvenzhane Wallis stars as Annie.  Annie is an orphan living as a foster child in the home of Colleen Hannigan, who was played by Cameron Diaz. 

While out and about one day, Annie is running down the sidewalk and bumps into Mr. Sacks and falls into traffic.  Mr. Sacks quickly snatches her from in front of an oncoming truck.  This act captures the attention of the news as well as his political advisor, Guy, who was played by Bobby Cannavale.  Guy convinces Mr. Stacks to take Annie in to his home in an effort to garner more votes. 

Jamie Foxx, Quvenzhane Wallis, Cameron Diaz, and Rose Byrne (who played Mr. Sacks personal assistant) were all fantastic actors, singers, and dancers.  Their performance was terrific.  I have seen this movie two times and left feeling uplifted and cheerful both times.  I would encourage everyone to bring the entire family to see this movie that grabs you by the heart.  I thought this movie was just as good as any previous version.  I gave this movie 3 out of 4 stars.
