Rating: Summary: A must have! Review: This movie is cheesy, at least that is what everyone says, but it is supposed to be! I mean, slow motion hair flips!?!? You can't take that seriously, nor should you. If you enjoy action and comedy this is a terrific movie to see. Just be prepared not to take it too seriously.
Rating: Summary: Painful.... Review: God this is a bad movie!! Not 'bad' as in wink, wink - campy, ironic bad (which it is trying, half heartedly, to be), but just b-a-d BAD!!! Watching this movie is like waiting in a doctor's office with nothing but copies of "Highlights". It's BORING. It's painfully boring AND it's practically plot-free!! It's the kind of Hollywood trash that makes you feel duped for having been dumb enough to see it. I think it gave me a headache.There's lot's of product placement for Nokia cell phones. There are lots of really lame songs that I suppose the marketers of this film wanted kids to listen to during Spring break. There's lots of cheesecake. But it's cheap cheesecake... It's gonna take some serious therapy for me to get over this....Welcome to the United Malls of America...
Rating: Summary: Funny, Cool and Action Packed Review: I'm surprised how much I liked this film because I didn't expect much at all. You got awesome Matrix style action, a lot of funny moments and cool villains. Crispen Glover (Back To The Future) as the lead Henchman the Thin Man kicks major Angel butt. I can't picture their being a sequel without him he was so cool. Sam Rockwell (Galaxy Quest, The Green Mile) and Kelly Lynch make cool baddies as well. It's Cameron Diaz that steals the show, though, with her underwear dance, one word describes that part: "WOW." She has the funniest lines in the movie, she delivers them great too. She's just hilarious in this movie. The only problem I had with the film was that it didn't need all the big names in small roles. Tom Green doesn't really fit in the movie as......CHAD, the guy who likes to say his own name. You got Matt LeBlanc as Lucy Liu's boyfriend too. Matt is basically just playing his part Joey from (Friends) and it doesn't really work. L.L Cool J has a small cameo in the beginning as the guy Drew is disguised as, which doesn't work that well either. Luke Wilson (Blue Streak, Home Fries) as Cameron Diaz's love interest is pretty funny though too bad the movie doesn't come through at actually putting those two together . Some of the action is cartoonish but still a lot of fun at the time because none of the actors take what they're doing seriously. Charlie's Angels can best be described as True Lies with action like the Matrix. I highly recommend it, for those of you that think it looks dumb, check it out anyway because you might like it...I did. OK, now all we need is Magnum: The Movie and we'll all be happy, lol.
Rating: Summary: Meant to be bad Review: From the beginning the movie is bad, horribly bad. The acting is terrible, Drew Barrymore is a hideous pig, the Asian woman is short and odd looking next to the other actors, Diaz is borderline brain dead, the stunts could be stock footage from "The Dukes of Hazard" or "The Fall Guys," etc. And that's what the director wants you to think. The director intentionally made a bad movie, believing that it would entertain with its rancidness. But it doesn't. Fifteen minutes or so into the movie, you stop telling yourself that it is funny because it is bad, and accept the fact that it is a very bad, boring movie.
Rating: Summary: A creative Difference.... Review: We are all familiar with the TV series....The movie is better than the show. It has a believable plot and all the girls seem to work well together, instead of just jiggle (Though it is here). There is a lot of action in this movie. The girls look like they had fun in this movie, especially Cameron Diaz. The Martial Arts fights are campy, but done in the chinnese tradition of high flying. If you sit down to watch the film and take it as the fun that was intedned, you'll love it. If you are a huge Charlies Angels fan, there will be some disappointment.
Rating: Summary: I LOVE it!!!! Review: I have NEVER had so much fun waching a movie! It is a great mixture of action, comedy, and really hot chicks! The plot is really fast and upbeat. It's like the perfect party movie. The actresses look like they are having a blast doing their parts and it really shows through their chemestry. It's just one of those movies you can watch over and over because it's just so darn fun! I couldn't help but love it!

Rating: Summary: eep! Review: Well, I heard some good things about this movie. I heard it was funny and action-packed. Well, when I saw this lousy excuse for a movie I was totally disappointed. The acting was awful, the plot (?), was well, I really, couldn't find a plot, but I did see plenty of babes and explosions. The fact that it was based on an awful television program from the SEVENTIES, should be a warning for all wanting to see this overhyped piece of tripe.
Rating: Summary: Girl stars lose battle with script Review: What can I say about Charlie's Angels? Based on a TV series so old that much of the movie going audience was born after its run ended, the movie is intentionally mindless entertainment, eye candy for the overfed and under read. Its boxoffice success indicates that it achieved its objective, yet it comes to mind that even in the mindless entertainment category, there have been movies that were a lot better. Its director, Joseph McGinty Nichol, who made his mark in music videos, insisted that his screen credit read simply 'McG'. Perhaps that's a clue to the movie's frantic but soulless feel. It's so trendy. Trendy has everything to do with fashion and nothing to do with style. By its very nature, trendy doesn't last. I suspect that in twenty years Charlie's Angels will be laughed at as a relic of what was cool and hip at the beginning of the century. There! I've said quite a bit. Since it's all about style, the movie hasn't much of a plot. The founder of a high tech company has been kidnapped, allegedly by the boss of another high tech outfit. Natalie, Dylan and Alex, who are the angels of the title, are called in to solve the case. They work for a detective agency run by a mysterious guy named Charlie, who is never seen, not even by the three women. They report to their boss Bosley [Bill Murray], who may or may not know Charlie. There are lots of explosions, gunfights and brawls, in which the trio gets thrown around a lot. Fear not, for the greatest damage is to their makeup. What interests me the most about the film is that so many talented actors chose to be involved. Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore and Lucy Liu play the angels, and Barrymore is also one of the producers. There must have been something they saw in the project, but whatever it was was surely lost during production. It tries to be satirical, but the satire falls flat. It wants to be hip, but even the lowliest TV sitcom is more hip than this. The action is predictable. Bill Murray, always a pleasure to watch, is wasted here because his comedy requires him to play off of something, and there's nothing there for him. It often looks like he is talking to himself. Finally, the computer generated special effects are plainly obvious. In good movies that use this technology these days, it's hard to tell what's real and what isn't. Charlie's Angels really isn't much of anything at all. If we could rate movies by caloric content, then this one would come up as empty calories.
