Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!

ShangLuda Admirable film.

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

tbills2 Nailed it! I loove Charlie's Angels! Thaaank you Drew, Cameron and Lucy, and whoever. It's funny, hip, sexy, cool, classy, and totally freaking hot with high octane action fueled by adrenaline pumping music led by a super hot trio of ridiculously hot super hot gorgeous girls in Lucy, Drew and Cameron. It's soooo hot! It's igniting my fire! I love everything about this movie. EVERYTHING! Charlie's Angels is my #2 favorite movie of all-time. I love the Angels' smiles, and their laughs, and their hairs, and their outfits, and their brains, and their bodies, and their moves, and their motives. There's way way too many hot moments to be listed here so only just a few of my favorite hot moments will now be presented - dazzling Natalie in her dazzling gold bikini and speed boat in the skydiving beginning (oh my holy hot Cameron) - Dylan and Alex yanking Natalie like a yo-yo while cuffed together in prison garbs (oh my holy hot Cameron) - Angel of the morning, Dylan, waking up with sloppy lipstick to a houseboat drip and sweet Chad's singing (let's forget about eggs) - Natalie's sexy dance dream and super, super sexy booty shake in Spiderman panties, purple shirt, blue slippers and pink hair braid and a retainer when she wakes up to make her bed and then welcome the mail man (mouth open, jaw dropped, speechless) - Alex's oily oriental massage using her feet as Yoko (oooohhh luuucy liuuuu) - Alex fixing the fast food drive thru speaker with her gum and Swiss Army knife (omg) - Dylan at the race track with drill bit in hand in her red & white & blue starry race suit (yyes! what just happened?) - Alex and Nat's fiery hot Middle Eastern belly dance for Director #1 (oh sweet pretty girls!) - the Angels spanking each other's bums and yodeling while delivering a singing telegram with Boz and a goat all in sexy Himalayan outfits for Director #2 (hahahaha yeeeeeehhhh yeeehhhhhhh haha omgoodness, Lucy as a blonde) - Alex in all black leather, glasses and red lipstick using her disciplinary switch on company tech nerds as the efficiency expert (ooooo barracuda, I'm in love with you, Lucy) - Natalie infiltrating the facility as a man and shedding her suit and mustache for her invisible all white skin tight rubber suit (so nice!) - Miss Vivian Wood simply seducing poor Bosley (wicked hot Kelly Lynch, lucky Bill Murray) - Natalie getting funky to Sir Mix-a-Lot at Soul Train with Pete (white girl can dance) - Dylan in nothing but a blanket nearly being blown to bits by Viv and Eric off the cliff side apartment, out the window, down the hill, then covering her naked bits with the kids' inner tube (shadowy and really sweet) - the Angels all getting on then all zipping off their wet scuba suits on the sunny rocky beach side (camera don't go up, never, never go up) - Dylan keeping the smoking henchman at bay with her wits while tied to the chair with her hands behind her back trying to spark her trusty American lighter (no I am listening I really am) - and the beautiful tropical paradise ending with the 3 beautiful Angels in flowery swimsuits and mix drinks in hand and running with Boz and Charlie on the beach in the ocean (heavenly happy days) - in complete secession. Drew and Cameron and Lucy are perfect as Charlie's Angels. I love them all, and I love this movie and I love the sequel. I love Cameron the most.

room102 Believe it or not, this is actually the first time I'm watching it - and now I know I was smart to avoid this all those years: It's a turd. I couldn't stand this "strong women" crap more than 25 min. Do I really have to describe to you how stupid this movie is? How embarrassing it is to see those lame presentations of so-called "strong women"? How watching Cameron Diaz dancing half naked, bra-less, in her underpants and telling the mailman he can put the stuff into her slot - doesn't go hand in hand in delivering that message? I predict that in 30 years or so, women would looks back and laugh at how pathetic all those feminist movies/messages were.Movies like these are as offensive to women as they are offensive to men.

The_Film_Cricket Charlie's Angels is a Happy Meal with the box but not the meal. It comes with three pretty packages – Cameron Diaz, Lucy Liu and Drew Barrymore who do nothing of importance in the film besides pose, spout sexual innuendo and stand in front of over-cooked special effects (which, come to think of it aren't that special). This is grating to the film lover because these three actresses have done some really good work in the past, they are charming, intelligent and talented so why, oh why, would they choose such a hollow log of a project? I detect a problem when every single scene in the movie that I am watching feels like it would be more at home in a commercial for McDonalds, Mentos, Nike or Lite FM. Charlie's Angels contains not one single scene that breaks that movie out of its Happy Meal packaging or tries to manner anything resembling a story. It is an advertisement for itself, an over-edited revamp of the popular 70s television series but beyond the title you wouldn't know that since none of the actresses playing the Angels are playing the characters from the show. Maybe that's because the movie isn't really a movie, it's a collection of scenes left over from the music video – any wonder that it's directed by a director of music videos? He directs the film like a fast food commercial (he comes credited as McG!!) The movie's intentions fold back on themselves. The director seems to want to make a movie satire about movies based on television shows but ends up with a movie that is just as empty, tired and frivolous as any that have come before. Therefore, the movie's joke is really on itself.The movie strings a story somewhere as connecting tissue to get the actresses to strike a pose, wiggle their behinds and tease the males. Diaz, Liu and Barrymore play three, uh, detectives I guess who are sent on missions given to them by their boss who is heard but never seen (even by them). He instructs them on the case and they follow it through. What's the case? Does it matter? I mention that the movie is a tease and that's correct, starting from it's tagline 'Get Some Action'. The basic shot in the film consists of 'almost, but not quite'. A shot involves the Angels emerging from the water and Diaz walking up to the camera pulling off a wet suit (topless underneath) and having the scene fade within centimeters of the movie maintaining an PG rating.In a movie containing a lot of sexual innuendo I found that the biggest tease isn't even sexual. At one point Barrymore finds herself at gunpoint in her lover's apartment. He has her at bay by a 40th floor patio window, he shoots and she appears to have been shot because she falls backwards through the window. I perked up because I wondered how she would have ever survived, then I started to work it out in my head. Three seconds after the moment the director shows us in slow-motion how she got out of it – the bullet whizzed past her ear, shattered the glass and she fell backwards hanging by her fingernails over the balcony. Only moment before, I thought that the director was allowing me to think – Now that is a tease and a cruel one at that.

Bill Slocum Is it a crass rehash of an old TV series that wasn't that great to begin with? Or is it a clever distillation of 1970s entertainment spruced up with a welcome blend of comedy and flash style? I can't really decide, but "Charlie's Angels" manages to earn its wings, if not a halo.Sorry. Be warned, though, there are a lot of bad puns in this movie. "Charlie's Angels" never makes the mistake of taking itself too seriously, and if you don't either, you can have a bit of fun.The set-up is instantly familiar for those of us old enough to remember the ABC-TV series. Three beautiful young women work as private detectives for a mysterious millionaire, who gives them impossible assignments they carry out with ease. The latest job involves a computer tycoon named Knox who is kidnapped, apparently by a rival. The Angels set out to save him, then find out the case is more complicated than it appears.That's not really important, though. The big question: Which Angel does the best hair flip? I have to say its Lucy Liu, though Cameron Diaz's short hair doesn't give her much to work with and Drew Barrymore's Angel with attitude isn't really flipping her hair unless she's in a fight, which kind of buries that bit of business for her. Not much else distracts from the hotitude of the stars, suggesting that the trainers on set were Oscar-worthy even if the cast wasn't.The script is kind of weak, not that the show itself ever was "St. Elsewhere." Caught wearing only a bedsheet in a guy's apartment, Barrymore's character is asked if she's "working undercover."More funny are the exaggerated references to how deadly these pretty ladies really are. "They come on all lovey-dovey, until they find out I can shatter a cinderblock with my forehead," sighs Liu. Here at least the comedy works as a kind of running gag worth pursuing.This silliness is abetted by Bill Murray as Bosley, the Angels' major domo, working his comedy mojo in a lazy but effective way, describing a jail as looking like "Cher's bedroom." Diaz has the most fun with her part, as Natalie the klutzy cutie, showing off a wonderful body as well as some fine comic chops left over from "There's Something About Mary." Whatever happened to her, anyway? I also really like Crispin Glover, as a bad guy who never says a word but steals every scene he's in with creepy gusto. Too bad the film never seems to know what to do with him, though at least he's not wasted like Tim Curry is here.For the most part, director McG and his writing team just use the story as an excuse for action scenes that are often impressive but don't make sense or connect up with anything else. These Angels are hard to distinguish from bad guys, as they crash cars, depressurize airliner cabins, and generally wreak all kinds of havoc on unsuspecting civilians. You aren't supposed to wonder about all this because, well, it's that kind of film.And that's fine, when the film does as much as this one to keep you diverted. That's all you get here, and all you really need. I mean, if you are going to watch a film called "Charlie's Angels," you shouldn't expect tight plotting and stuff. Just sit back and enjoy the ride. I did.
