Based on the babe-a-licious show from the 1970s, CHARLIE'S ANGELS is a defiantly goofy action movie featuring plenty of comedy and a strong sense of girl power. Three talented...
more...young women work for the mysterious Charles Townsend: Natalie (Cameron Diaz), the bubbly blond science expert; Dylan (Drew Barrymore), the rebellious tomboy; and Alex (Lucy Liu), the tough Angel who has trouble telling her boyfriend that she's a highly skilled secret agent. The Angels are assigned to locate Eric Knox (Sam Rockwell), a kidnapped computer expert whose new software could threaten global security if it were to fall into the wrong hands. The women go undercover to investigate this devious tycoon and are faced with double crosses, explosions, and the mysterious Thin Man. From the acclaimed music-video director McG (Joseph McGinty), CHARLIE'S ANGELS wastes little time on plot, instead presenting audiences with a series of spectacular MATRIX-style fight sequences, car chases, and stunts. Diaz, Barrymore, and Liu as the three Angels give terrific performances worthy of a new breed of female action hero, kicking major butt while remaining lovable and sexy. The movie also stars Bill Murray as the Angels' mentor, Bosley, and John Forsythe as the voice of Charlie.

There’s no way around it: Charlie’s Angels is fun! It’s silly, cheesy and entirely foolish and it’s the most entertaining movie I’ve seen all year

The Charlie’s Angels for the new millennium are Natalie (the ever-vibrant Cameron Diaz), Dylan (the suddenly buxom Drew Barrymore) and Alex (the intense Lucy Liu). These girls use their looks and their fighting skills to solve crimes.

In the movie, rich mogul (Tim Curry) has kidnapped a computer genius (Sam Rockwell) in order to steal his brilliant new invention. The angels are called in to try and stop the madman from carrying out his plan.

Not much of a plot, but it’s all the plot that this film needs, it’s so entertaining!

As in the original TV series, the trio receive their orders by the unseen Charlie and his right-hand man Bosley (Bill Murray) an inept spy but all around nice guy.

Diaz in my opinion is the sexiest, especially when she gets funky and breaks out her crazy dance moves. (One of the movie's best scenes features Diaz going "old-school" on Soul Train.) If any modern actress truly lights up the screen, it's Cameron Diaz and her fabulous smile.

No less lovely is Drew Barrymore, who seems to have recently discovered the power of her cleavage. As the movie's producer, Drew of course got to have the one true romantic scene in the movie, but she's as earthy and sweet as she always is, even when she's beating the snot out of people.

As the third Angel, Lucy Liu gets to cut loose and play a bit. Her role in Ally McBeal doesn’t give her much of an opportunity to smile, so it's great to see her getting some laughs in this film. A scene of Alex dominating a classroom of computer engineers is priceless.

The action scenes in this movie remind me of ‘The Matrix’ and Mission: Impossible and are truly amazing as are the rest of the special effects!

I was never bored during this movie, it kept me interested the entire time, I was truly left speechless when I came out of the Cinema, it’s a very very very very very good film, if you fancy a good night in why not rent this film? You won’t regret it!

Thanx for reading my review, please leave me a comment! :o)
