One of the worst musicals ever cause...

They couldn't even do the most important aspect of musical films. SYNC YOUR MOUTHS TO THE DAMN MUSIC !!!

Almost every song it seemed line the actors, at some point, were off key by about half a second. I feel like this should be the most basic technical thing done in a movie. Not to mention how weird the music did sound. You could easily tell all songs were made in a sound studio with the bass amped way up. She walking down a New York street and it sounds like the song is being played off your ipod with really good headphones.

Other than that this movie was just complete *beep* and an awful remake. Now I didn't care that they changed Annie to a black girl, but when they change practically every "good" character to a black person and every "evil" character stayed white, can't help but feel a little racism there.

I didn't feel that way at all. The lip syncs seemed fine to me. The songs are so sweet and charming and fun. I'm surprised you didn't like them.
What about the fake mom and dad? They were kind of bad guys and they were black. No racism here in this movie, you may just be a little paranoid perhaps.

Actually...the movie did a pretty good job of turning the stereotypical role of the evil white orphanage mistress, Miss Hannigan, into a sympathetic character with some depth and, ultimately, heroic attributes at the end.

On November 6, 2012 god blessed America...again. 

That was already done in 1982.

Waiting for the people to stampede into this post yelling that "you can't be racist to a white person if you're black". Surprised it hasn't happened.
