kuarinofu The first time I've seen this I was like 13 y.o. and as far as I remember, it was a lot of fun. I've never seen the show though. Re-watched the movie today when I'm almost 30 and guess what? It still is. It's very infectious with fun and positive attitude. This one movie has everything: 1. Ridiculous but competently shot action and stunts (some really good ones) 2. Beautiful ladies (yet a little oversexualized and objectified) 3. Tons of early 2000's cultural references. I mean, I felt like a kid again. Korn, Prodigy, Nokia, Tom Green, The Matrix, Mission Impossible, "cool computer stuff", you name it. This movie is so 2000s. 4. 90% of the dialogue was just funny nonsense. Almost every line makes you say "what?". It gets a little boring closer to the end, but it never gets too long anyway. Leaves you on a positive note though. They knew what they were doing and it surely represents the idea behind it. Can't really rate this higher than 5, but it's sure is great for what it is.

DogFilmCritic There is no exact word that can describe the absurdity of this film, the estimated Budget of $92,000,000 could have saved a lot of lives, yet it was used to create this Schlup fest of a movie,this movie is a tease we are constantly teased with the idea that this movie some how is going to entertain us, one good example is making any excuse to put the angels in all sorts of fetish outfits threw out the movie,you know sex sells right,so this movie is full of T&A The most astonishing feature is the personalities of the characters, Natalie(Cameron Diaz)is supposed to be the smartest of the 3...or more intuitive yet she is portrait like she is in special needs, like Tara Reid in Josie and the pussycats,Dylan(Drew Barrymore)is the bad girl why because in the beginning of the movie the montages told us so like smoking in a high school bathroom dressed like a punk,yeah thats a bad-girl alright, Alex(Lucy Lu)well you have to figure it out for yourself honestly i couldn't find anything of a character in her.The action in this movie is retarded these women can do stunts that could put the matrix movies into shame,I was hoping that they were bulletproof that could explain a lot of the action scenes, there was nothing redeemable in this movie its stupid and dull this movie could be used to drain brain cells honestly i cant find any other use to this film tan that.

breakdownthatfilm-blogspot-com When it comes to female leads in action roles, the names Angelina Jolie or Milla Jovovich may come to mind. They play serious roles with a tad bit of wisecracks and a bunch of violence, specifically with weapons. When that genre is flipped on its head and made into an action comedy, it then fits for a different set of actresses. In some ways, this movie is the definition of how masculine a chick flick can possibly get. It still has all the basic set-ups for a chick flick, but this time it includes explosions and hand-to-hand combat. There's nothing wrong with that particular element, but as a whole it really doesn't have any substance that defines itself from other chick flicks of that decade (other than its explosions and combat).Charlie's Angels (2000) is another cinema adapted TV show from the 1970s that hoped to capitalize on its nostalgic feel while mixing in Hollywood's biggest grabs at the time. Our main protagonists are Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore and Lucy Liu as the spy trio who take orders from a faceless billionaire named by Charlie (voice by John Forsythe). Helping them in their travels and spy tactics is Bosley (Bill Murray). When they receive a distress call about a scientist (Sam Rockwell) being kidnapped, they head out to infiltrate and save him. This is all fine but everything else involved in the writing is fairly one-dimensional. I'm guessing because all three writers were guys and they had no clue what to include except the cliché things.Problems arise in the movie's plot when the story tries to focus on each of the Spys' personal lives. Each Angel is in the state of "Ugh, I can't find a way to balance my professional career with my social life". Though somehow, one would think when they agreed to work for Charlie they would've understood that from the start. Besides, these particular subplots didn't go anywhere anyway. There wasn't much closure at all other than what you would expect when it came to the main plot. Along with that are either some obvious sexual humor, meaning to play off of the female leads. Some of it might produce a chuckle but sometimes it painstakingly bad. There's even some jokes that may not be understood at all.There are also appearances from other actors you wouldn't expect to see too often. Matt LeBlanc, Tom Green, Luke Wilson, Crispin Glover and even Tim Curry. Sadly everyone mentioned before Curry gets more screen time than he does. Tim Curry will always be an underrated actor and he should've been given more screen time. How do you shorthand Tim Curry? But Curry did at least sumo fight Murry. That was funny. When it came to action however, it entertained. Hand-to-hand combat is always more interesting to watch than constant explosions because there is always room for improvisation. This also what helps make this movie more fun than a normal chick flick because our three main leads have not taken on very many action roles in their career. It's a nice turn.Of course a number of action sequences aren't believable at times but they at least will keep the attention of the viewer. That's important. The camera-work was fairly steady and the cinematography by Russell Carpenter looked good. It wasn't breath taking, but there were nice set pieces and backgrounds he did get shots of. The music by Ed Shearmur was interesting at best. There were moments where he was able to create some good tension while at other times it didn't work or there was contemporary music played instead. Mehh,...it was alright. What did surprise me was how many times the movie tried to make references to angels in general. Come on, we get it. No need to hammer it in to our skulls. It's an OK film.Its humor helps slightly in its favor along with likable leads, fun action and underrated supporting actors like Bill Murry and Tim Curry. Yet, it still can't remove itself from feeling like a chick flick.

SnoopyStyle Natalie Cook (Cameron Diaz), Dylan Sanders (Drew Barrymore), and Alex Munday (Lucy Liu) are three girls recruited to work for the mysterious Charlie. Natalie is geeky brain with the body. Dylan is the rough and tumble rebel. Alex is the rich girl with ambition. Bill Murray is the new Bosley. Chad (Tom Green) is Dylan's weird boyfriend. Jason Gibbons (Matt LeBlanc) is Alex's clueless actor boyfriend. They have a new case to find kidnapped tech entrepreneur Eric Knox (Sam Rockwell). They are hired by Vivian Wood (Kelly Lynch) and Roger Corwin (Tim Curry) is the lead suspect.McG doesn't waste anytime and tries to push this high octane reboot of the campy 70s TV show. It's action, skimpy outfits, and more action. Bill Murray does his Murrayest best but it's obvious McG didn't write him much of anything. Then there is the oddball Tom Green. No matter how hard they try, they're unable to bring the comedy to this movie. The best thing about this is Cameron Diaz. It's always great to have her shake her assets in her underwear. And the girl can surely kick. At least, she goes all out dancing a storm with a smile. Drew and Lucy doesn't have Cameron's energy but who does? Crispin Glover plays a great villain. Overall it's a lot of flash but it's not quite as funny as it wants to be. It's not as fun or exciting as it should be. It's McG overload.
