Annie (2014 film) film. Matt Zoller Seitz called Wallis "the first Annie to bring something both culturally and personally new to this role", and praised the rest of the cast too, including Foxx and Byrne. Cameron Diaz's performance however, received polarized reviews, with critics praising her effort, but ultimately calling it too "vampy", as well as "strident and obnoxious". Peter Travers of "Rolling Stone" says that she "overacts the role to the point of hysteria". Months after the film's release, Diaz announced that she would retire from acting.
