I went to see this film not knowing very much about the storyline, but left the cinema with the realisation that there is NO storyline. I knew I had made the wrong decision as soon as the film began to show signs of hair flicking and fake laughter. Ok, so you have to take this film as a spoof- it's meant to be stupid, but it was too stupid to be funny.
Back to the storyline, or should I say the lack of it. The film stretched the sorry excuse for a plot to the limits- it was thin and as I said, far too cheesey to be funny.
The film does have its fair share of action scenes but whereas in some films the stunts look realistic- the use of ropes was far too obvious. You could say that this is in keeping with the 'tongue-in-cheek' mood to the film, but it looked ridiculous.
I think that your view of this film depends on whether you like ultimate cheesey movies, but for me it was a vision of hell.

Review of Charlie's Angels (DVD)
Advantages: Drew Barrymore, Cameron Diaz... Disadvantages: The most stupid film ever, even worse than The Avengers, possibly as bad as Batman and Robin
