Being just old enough to remember the original TV series I eagerly awaited the new Charlies Angels movie, especially after seeing the trailers starring Bill Murray.
Cameron Diaz, Lucy Liu and Drew Barrymore play the lead characters and a fine job they do to, all looking gorgeous and very playful. It may not be the most original film but it more than makes up for this with plenty of martial art action, romance and lasting quick witted comedy moments.
The plot is not really important, but for those interested it concerns the rivalry between two big time computer bosses and the development of a software program that can listen in to any telephone conversation in the world.
For our enjoyment they could have used the talents of Bill Murray more, as he was excellent in the role of Bosley. Another plus was the part played by Owen Wilson as Cameron's love interest.
A fun to watch movie.

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
