This warm and funny film hits all the right notes, and nothing compares to the satisfaction that comes from watching Annie Mary triumphantly sing her heart out. She's as radiant as you knew she would be all along.

The movie would seem less of a trifle if Ms. Sugarman followed through on her defiance of the saccharine.

| Original Score: C+ | May 9, 2002

A bit too eager to please.

| Original Score: 2/4 | May 3, 2002

It is not the first time that director Sara Sugarman stoops to having characters drop their pants for laughs and not the last time she fails to provoke them.

Odd and weird.

Very Annie-Mary is familiar but winningly funny and good-hearted.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Mar 29, 2002

Yet another entry in the sentimental oh-those-wacky-Brits genre that was ushered in by The Full Monty and is still straining to produce another smash hit.

Somehow Ms. Griffiths and Mr. Pryce bring off this wild Welsh whimsy.

Leaks treacle from every pore.

Worth catching for Griffiths' warm and winning central performance.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 25, 2001

There are moments of real pleasure to be found in Sara Sugarman's whimsical comedy Very Annie-Mary but not enough to sustain the film.

It's as sorry a mess as its director's diabolical debut, Mad Cows.
