Hi, I'm Andy and I used to be a teacher in Bath ... but I'm not now. I want to be an astronaut when I grow up and visit Mars. And I want Christina Ricci to knock on my door and say, "Hello, big boy, where have you been all my life."

Well, I went to see Charlies' Angels today - this film has attitude. Forget the bikini-bimbos in the seventies TV series (though I did like Cheryl Ladd) these three grils - Lucy Liu, Drew Barrymore and Cameron Diaz know how to take care of themselves.
The film is the usual no-brainer affair (after all, we don't go to watch it for the intellectual plot do we?) about a rescue attempt on an important engineer which then leads the Angels into deep water.
The film contains some truly excellent action sequences using the same techniques as in the Matrix, and the soundtrack is absolutely rockin! Lots of stop-slow-no action and a thundering soundtrack. They never had action like this in the seventies - that Lucy Liu sure knows how to kick her leg high.
There is a good mix between comedy and action, with the daftness not taking over the whole film, but making the whole film a fun experience. It also makes up for the acting which, I think it's fair to say, is rather wooden.
Nevertheless, the action, comedy and thumping soundtrack make this a surprising hit which everyone will enjoy!

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
