DOES MY BUM LOOK BIG IN THIS

This is, after all, meant to be entertainment. No ‘sub-plot’, ‘hidden agenda’ and certainly never was going to get into the Oscar nominations list. But it’s a cracking over-the-top, all-action movie full of fast cars, boats and high kicking gorgeous girls – look no further. Charlie’s Angels has all these things and more! A bit like a low brow James Bond movie (– is there such a thing as a ‘HIGH BROW’, James Bond film ?). Anyway, dis-engage your brain, sit back into a comfy chair, switch on, enjoy…..

Add into the mix that ageing, but still still capable, comedian Bill Murray. He is excellent as the hopeless, hapless ‘Bosley’ – Charlie’s ‘gopher’ and the go-between who contacts the Angels for their assignments.
The girls each have their own character – much like in the original TV Series from the 70s – with both Drew and Cameron showing their comic abilities with some one-liners. Ms Liu, I found to be slightly miscast. Sure she can kick with the best of them, but personality – she has little! Maybe as the lesser of the trio ‘star-wise’ she was in awe or more likely she just was not given the lines. Her on-screen boyfriend in this movie is none other than Matt le Blanc of ‘Friends’ and ‘Lost in Space’ fame. His role is a minor one though, I guess not to detract from the main cast. Now, if only they’d have upped the ante and cast Halle Berry alongside Cameron and Drew……mmmmmm, I can see the $$$$$ signs already

Like I said, this is not a ‘thinking mans film’ – the sight of Ms Diaz flying through the air unleashing a karate kick, while the zip on her jumpsuit edges further down towards her navel and her boobs resolutely refuse to do the right thing and leap out into view! Ms Barrymore – once a ‘Hollywood wild child’, famous for ‘getting them out’ for David Letterman live on TV, has similar costume…’designs’. Definitely no strain on the eyes and not taxing for the brain.
