As this sequel to the classic Annie story is a low budget family movie, my expectations were not high, but the movie didn't meet even them. Annie and her two friends help thwart the evil plans of bad men conspiring against Annie's rich father. There isn't the slightest credibility in the characters, and production values are low. But maybe some children find this an entertaining adventure.

However there is Camilla, playing Molly, a friend of Annie's. If you remember her from her slightly better movies, you know she's always seriously pretty. In this movie, Camilla is 8, perhaps 7, and, in words of DVD Verdict, unbelievably cute, and almost unbearably adorable. That's essentially all they say of the role, and I'll do the same.
Annie is played by Ashley, who shows potential as an actress. But nobody is going to make an impression by acting in a movie like this one.
