Annie played by Quvenzhané Wallis is a goofy and happy foster kid under the care of Hannigan starred by Cameron Diaz. Among the girls in Hannigan’s house, she’s the only one who got positive hope that they will all find their families soon. Annie keeps a note and a necklace left to her the day she’s abandoned. While Queens NY is busy rustling over the upcoming election, the tycoon Will Stack played by Jamie Foxx had been trying to increase potential votes in the poll.

One day, Stack decided to take a walk to breathe. While Annie was chasing a lost dog about to be beaten by two other kids. Annie bumped into Stack. She fell down and was hurriedly grabbed by Stacked when a car was coming their way. Someone was able to capture the scene and posted it in social media. Stack’s survey increased because of that. He then asked Annie to do political relationship with him by taking photos, having lunch together and all that sort of drama. Until Annie is asked to move to his ‘smart house’ which is very huge for Stack to live alone. Their political relationship elevated into something else. Stack learned how to value Annie. One day he decided to adopt Annie and make it legal. There were bumps along the way when a pretend-parent of Annie came into the picture paid by Stack’s dishonest employee. But they got away from it.

It’s musical. The actors sing songs in almost every scene but it’s very lovely. The 10-year old Annie may have to do more workshop for her facial expressions to convey the audience but she’s cute whenever she start singing and dancing. If you don’t mind watching corny, mushy, children’s movie then this is for you…
