exactly as it should be. Its popular 2000 predecessor got the formula right: gorgeous babes, throwaway plots and as many current pop-cultural trends as you could stuff into a candy-coated dollop of Hollywood mayhem. This sequel goes one "better": the plot is even more disposable (if that's possible), the babes, cars, and fashions are even more outlandish and the stuntwork (heavily digital, heavily absurd) reaches astonishing heights of cartoon silliness. Reprising their titular (and shamelessly titillating) roles, Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore and Lucy Liu are having the time of their lives, especially when sparring with ultra-buff rogue angel Demi Moore (looking better at 40 than most women half her age) and Justin Theroux as a sleazy Irish mobster. Bernie Mac replaces Bill Murray as angel-sidekick Bosley (they're step-brothers, don'cha know), which is one more indication of McG's intentionally reckless stewardship of an intentionally reckless franchise. --Jeff Shannon

Advantages: Gorgeous babes, impressive stunts Disadvantages: Tries to be something it isn't
...times downright unnecessary. With any Charlie's Angels film, you go to the film expecting to see the indiscrepancies of the plot washed over by the action sequences; the film-makers know that all you’re looking for is to pass an afternoon looking at gorgeous babes! On the other hand, if you’re looking for a plot, stay well away!
The problem was that I fell into the former category, but ended up disappointed. Charlie’s Angels: Full ...

Advantages: Angelic babes, Comedy, ASS ASS ASS Disadvantages: Plot? What plot?
Feel good time?
That is the question.
This year is set to go through the greatest number of sequels ever released at once. With X-2 hitting the silver screens in May, 2 Fast 2 Furious next, T3 will be arriving within the next fortnight and with other trilogy/sequels being released into the movie-world like the Matrix Reloaded and Revolutions, Charlie’s Angels 2: Full Throttle half-heartedly tagged along.
The advertising strategies for other Sequel ... ...(which I have seen – completely irrelevant, I just wanted to boast) with teaser trailers giving us a sneak preview of the blockbuster months in advance following up with a long trailer identifying main themes of the upcoming sequel (most noteworthy was the Matrix’s teaser that tickled our fancy and left us wetting ourselves in excitement – OK, not so graphic). Charlie’s Angels 2 did not follow in this trend. It was only two weeks before it’s initial ...

Advantages: Highly comical, the girls kick some serious ass! Disadvantages: Wheres Charlie? some parts of the plot vague and unexplained
Well this is the time of year in which the summer holidays hit and boredom strikes! This year I was determined not to let that happen and so for the first few days things seemed to be going quite well and then came the first Monday, the day I class as the first real day of my summer and I had nothing to do. I sat all day doing nothing until to my relief I received a text from Joe (jmcb) inviting me the cinema. Great I thought to myself and on the ... ...cinema came the big debate. Which film did we see!? After a few moments of arguments we managed to come to an agreement of Charlie’s Angels 2 – Full Throttle. I didn’t really know what to expect from this film as I hadn’t seen the first but I was outnumbered and forced to buy this ticket (Yes I was with 2 males desperate to see Cameron Diaz!) There hadn’t really been much of a hype about this film unlike some of the other sequels released earlier ...

Advantages: fast paced, great action, gorgeous people Disadvantages: you'll either love it or really, really hate it
...is the beauty of the Charlie's Angels, once you get past the obvious unbelievability of the entire thing, you're in for the ride of your life. If you thought the first film was action packed and fast-paced, you really ain't seen nothin' yet!
This is a sequel, but there's no real need to see the first film to explain anything, unsurprisingly, this film doesn't centre around a complicated plot and deep character analysis. Though it does have a plot, ... ...(Lucy Liu) make up the Charlie's Angels, a trio of crime-fighting private investigators who work for the absent Charlie, a millionnaire who funds the Angels, but whom nobody has ever met. He contacts the girls via Bosley, a kind of generic, stupid male presence, just for the sake of it. In the first film, Bosley was played by Bill Murray. But he's absent in this film (rumour has it he and Lucy Liu didn't get on...) so his even more incompetent brother ...

Advantages: Turn your brain off film! Disadvantages: Can you turn it back on?
Last summer just as the holidays started I typically caught a really bad cold. I am almost certain I was dying and, no I'm not being melodramatic, and it was then that I first saw Angels bathed in a heavenly glow! To be more precise it was Charlies Angels and the glow was coming from the tv screen, but you get the picture. Their ass kicking antics, snappy musical numbers and Charlies soothing voice all worked together to ease my fevered brain and ... ...when Charlies Angels Full Throttle (Directed by McG?)came out in the cinema I had to go see it to discover whether it was the fever that had made me enjoy Charlies Angels or whether I actually have bad taste!
This may surprise some of you but there is actually a plot to this movie, though blink and you might very well miss it. Basically two rings which somehow store information about the witness relocation program have been stolen by some naughty ...

DVD Description
CHARLIE'S ANGELS: FULL THROTTLE reunites Drew Barrymore, Cameron Diaz, and Lucy Liu as they once again wage battle against some formidable opponents. This time around the three angels are on a mission to track down two stolen rings that contain encrypted information relating to the Witness Protection Program. Naturally the girls kick some serious butt, often facing some familiar villains in the shape of a returning Crispin Glover (as the Thin Man) and Justin Theroux (as Seamus O'Grady), a former beau of Barrymore's character. To further spice things up, there is an ex-angel, played by a shapely Demi Moore, who is rather keen on getting her hands on the rings, all adding up to lots of thrills and spills for the girls. Director McG returns from the original movie, this time upping the action ante with a series of spectacular stunts and CGI-assisted tricks. Employing a neverending array of celebrity cameo appearances, McG builds on the momentum of the previous movie and neatly balances the combination of comedy set pieces and action sequences. Cast and crew keep their tongues planted firmly in their cheeks throughout, leading to a not-too-serious romp that is a feast for the eyes.

Review: "...The stars are on top, straddling and driving the movie's actions chassis....Diaz, Barrymore, and Liu are never more triumphantly feminine than when they're trumping men at their own kick-butt game..." (Entertainment Weekly, p.57, 11/07/2003)
"...As insistent as it is skillful..." (Los Angeles Times, p.C1, 27/06/2003)
"...McG gets top-notch performances from his stars..." (Sight and Sound, p.41-2, 01/08/2003)
"...Bigger, sleeker and better than the first, sequel CHARLIE'S ANGELS: FULL THROTTLE is a joyride of a movie that takes the winning elements of the year 2000 hit to the next level..." (Variety, p.22-31, 23/06/2003)
