When I went to see Charlies Angels I was not sure about it, I had not seen any of the trailers, I had just seen the people who were in it. I thougth that it would be funny as Bill Murry is in the film and I can't see him doing a serious film.
Having seen the film now I can say that it is worth seeing. It is very funny in places. It is kind of on the lines of a mix between Austin Powers and Mission Impossible. It is not quite as stupidly funny as Austin Powers but then it has the action of Mission Imposible but not the seriousness.
There are also a lot of the same kind of camera shots that were used in the Matrix. These are used to good effect and make the film flow better.
If you are up for an action comedy this film is well worth seeing. This is the sort of film when you sit down to watch it and when you get up you think that you only just sit down.

Thanks, Ian. I was going to go to see this film and was quite enthusiastic about it (fit birds AND action - perfick!) until my brother said it was crap. Perhaps I'll give it a go, though, after reading your review.

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
