I went to a movie yesterday that had a title I knew, and a story I knew,
but the movie I didn't know. I saw Annie with Jamie Foxx and Cameron
Diaz. I have been watching the Trailer for this movie for the past 6 months and I have been anticipating the movie since I saw it. The one thing I noticed was the trailer didn't show the songs which I thought was strange for a musical. After seeing the movies I understood why the songs weren't included in the trailers ... they were not a reason to go to this movie.
This movie was based in New York City and that is pretty much the only thing this had to do with the play. The songs were "updated" and the story was about a guy that used an orphan girl to make him popular. I really like the actors, but just because they can act doesn't mean they can sing. They can't! I see a lot of movies and don't often write about the ones I see, but this one made me so discouraged I had to write about it. I think the $15 I paid for the play in Carmel of Annie was better spent than the free pass I got for the movie.
The same day I saw Annie I also saw the third installment of Night in the Museum. When I was going to these two movies I thought one was a comedy and the other was a "feel good movie". Night at the Museum was okay, a decent comedy. Annie was not a "feel good movie", it was a disappointing, easy to forget, movie that I wanted it to be good, but wasn't. This week I will see two more movies and I hope they are not disappointing.
