English Summary:

In Harlem, Manhattan Island, New York City, Annie Bennett lives in foster care with several other girls under the care of Colleen Hannigan, a bitter former singer who spends her days drinking and trying to find a husband. Annie spends Fridays waiting outside Domani's restaurant, believing her parents will come for her because a note written on a receipt from Domani's says they will return. When a city inspector checks on Miss Hannigan's treatment of the girls, Annie takes advantage of the situation; she manages to copy her social security number from his clipboard and heads off to get her information. Annie learns that there is nothing more about her than what she already knows.

While attempting to save a Shiba Inu from bullies, Annie is nearly run over but is saved by William "Will" Stacks, a germaphobe cellphone mogul running for Mayor of New York City. Annie's rescue goes viral on the internet, boosting Stacks popularity; per suggestion of Will's campaign manager Guy Danlily, Annie moves in with Will to boost his popularity further. Annie enjoys her new surroundings, befriending Will's assistant Grace Farrell. Annie also gets to adopt the stray dog from before, naming her Sandy. Bonding with Annie, Will reveals that he had humble beginnings in Queens; he never really knew his father due to his work hours, but believed he could understand him if he worked just as hard. Annie also helps Grace and Will realize that they like each other romantically.

Hungarian Summary:

Benjamin Stacks gazdag iparmágnás, aki most a polgármesteri székért indul a választáson. Kampánya részeként szeretné magához venni Annie-t, a csecsemőként magára hagyott árvát, aki nem éppen tökéletes nevelőszülőjével, Miss Hannigannel él. Ami kezdetben csupán a választópolgárok megnyeréséről szól, komoly kötődéssé alakul Benjamin Stacks és Annie közt.

Cast

• Quvenzhané Wallis as Annie Bennett Stacks, an 11-year-old African American child living in a foster home searching for her parents. Unlike her prior appearances, Annie doesn't live in an orphanage but is kept in foster care.^[8][9][10]
• Jamie Foxx as William "Will" Stacks, an entrepreneur in the technology sector (particularly, the mobile phone industry) turned politician, who is trying to run for Mayor of New York City. The character is a modification of Oliver Warbucks.^[8][9][10]
• Rose Byrne as Grace Farrell, Stacks' faithful personal assistant and Annie's mother figure.
• Cameron Diaz as Miss Colleen Hannigan, the cruel and drunk control freak who runs the foster home where Annie resides. A slight modification of Agatha Hannigan, she was a big singing star back in the 1990s but ended her career due to having gone insane after drinking alcohol. Hannigan's character is softened from her prior appearances, to the point of experiencing guilt over her part in separating Stacks and Annie and even helping to rescue Annie from her false parents in the film's finale. Miss Hannigan's first name is also changed to Colleen, instead of her previous film name Agatha.
• Bobby Cannavale as Guy Danlily, a "bulldog political adviser" to Stacks. He convinces Stacks to let Annie live with him for the press at first, but later proves that he doesn't care for her well-being. His motives are partly based on Rooster Hannigan.
• Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje as Nash, "the tough but lovable bodyguard and driver for Will and a good friend of Annie." He evokes the traits of Punjab and The Asp.^[11]
• David Zayas as Lou, the local bodega owner who is a friend of Annie and has a crush on Miss Hannigan and sees some good in her and finds out she isn't mean as she thinks she is. He evokes the traits of the laundryman Mr. Bundles.^[12]
• Stephanie Kurtzuba as Mrs. Kovacevic, the New York Family Services worker who becomes close with Annie's case.
• Amanda Troya as Pepper Ulster, the bossiest and oldest foster girl. She says that she is about to turn thirteen and no one wants teenagers.
• Eden Duncan-Smith as Isabella Sullivan, the second oldest of Annie's foster sisters. She is based on Duffy.
• Zoe Margaret Colletti as Tessie Marcus, one of Annie's foster sisters, who is the second youngest and is in the same grade as her.
• Nicolette Pierini as Mia Putnam, the youngest of Annie’s foster sisters. Mia is based on Molly.
• Marti as Sandy, Annie's dog.^[13] Sandy is a female in this film, as opposed to past adaptations where the dog is a male.
