I went to see this film with no prior expectations having never seen the TV series, only heard comments about it from my Dad who was blatently biased as he fancied Farrah Fawcett, so I didn't pay much attention to him.
However, I still managed to leave the film feeling pleasantly surprised. I like action films like The Matrix, and I also like spoof action films like Austin Powers and this film definately fitted into the latter category.
The girls ended up under cover in a variety of implausibly gorgeous costumes, my favourite being the racing car crew (yes - I am a motorsport freak). The best part of the movie, however, was when a rather implausible looking man managed to take on all three angels in a fight and surprisingly, lost. (Couldn't see that one coming, guys!)
All in all, a great film if you like Austin Powers or similar, even to a certain extent if you like Bond films because it manages to spoof them without going too far.

Advantages: The captured light heartness of the original program and the excellent casting. Disadvantages: Predictable ending which i suppose cant be avoided.

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
