Summary: Just awful.
Review: This ranks with the worst movies I've ever seen. I could only stand to watch it for about 10 minutes before having to turn it off - it is that repulsive. The sad part is somebody spent a lot of cash making this turkey. Do yourself a favor and spend your money on something else.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Girl power with humor
Review: I really liked this movie. I used to watch the Charlie's Angels TV series when I was small and always liked it. The movie saved the cheesy feminine touch which is so part of the characters and of the whole story, and added a modern twist. Today's "angels" are funnier, sexier, and they have more special effects on their side!

Cameron Diaz plays a sweet, naive girl who dreams of being a dancer, and is instead a butt-kicking "angel"; Lucy Liu has a fiancée who doesn't know what her real job is, and she dreams of becoming a great cook and a great wife for him, so she gets very annoyed when her souffle gets shot (in an attempt to kill her) at and therefore looses all its puffiness; Drew Barrimore is the brat of the situation, my personal favorite.

The characters are taken too far on purpose, and that's what makes them funny. This movie shows that cute girls can also be smart and have an exciting secret life, but the whole "girl power" thing is taken with a lot of irony and really helps you relax and don't feel inadequate like in front of unreal models in "Lara Croft"-style.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: They could have used the film for something else.
Review: I sat down to see this movie out of boredom and the oddest thing happened. I was more bored when it finished then I was at the start. This movie was so retarded it wasn't funny at all! The Matrix wasn't that good to start out with and they keep using it (too much in this waste of time). I personally could never recommend this movie. It was way too predictable and "it just didn't bring the funny." Also, it's one of those that you know its bad, but when you reflected on it, you really see just how bad it is. No good at all.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Labeled a Comedy!?
Review: I was greatly dissapointed in this movie. It identifies itself early on of being a parody of sorts and the self-realization of the Charlie's Angels TV camp....but then doesnt execute it enough as other movies such as "The Brady Bunch" have done beautifully. The script is pretty bad, but does follow the same pattern of a typical Angels TV episode. There are a few chuckles, but overall the dialogue "jokes" are tired and predictable. The Cameron Soul Train scene is overated and lame. I was suprised how well Lucy Lui is in this film and it was nice seeing Crispin "George McFly" Glover. However, everytime I wanted to just turn the movie off, I couldnt frankly because of the pure eye candy sex appeal that is the only thing carrying this film. Overall, its a fun stupid watch, but there's nothing rewarding or memorable

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I Dare you Not to Love This Movie!
Review: Shakespeare...uh...NO. 90 minutes of pure fun...You BETCHA!

I saw this movie in the theaters and the first thought I had was 'When is the DVD coming out? I GOTTA HAVE THIS MOVIE!' Drew, Cameron, and Lucy have perfectly embodied the old angle archetype in a 21st century way. Hard to describe, but watch the movie and you'll know what I'm talking about. And whoever snagged Bill Murray as Bosley is a Casting Director's Casting Director!

If you want sheer fun, not a serious amount of plot (And don't worry, the movie knows it's not gunning for a best picture story or anything), and GREAT fight scenes, then click right now!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: So Much Better Than Crouching Tiger
Review: This movie was simply awesome.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Action and Fun
Review: Very funny. Good special effects. Some fans of the original show might not like this film because it doesn't have the same serious feel. I liked the movie for what it was--action and fun. I would have given it 5 stars, but as much as I like Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore, and Lucy Liu, I was irritated at having to sit through numerous intimate views of their busts and bottoms. Feminists subtract 3 stars for this. Men should add 3 stars for that bonus.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Who'd of guessed
Review: I rented this movie, only to tear it apart and found myself laughing the entire movie. I really liked this film. Never in a million years will I believe that Cameron Diaz or Drew Barrymore could hurt a fly, but if you need a good laugh and a good dose of eye candy give it a whirl. It really was pretty good. Definetly better than you are expecting.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: what WAS this?
Review: I have only seen snippets of the 70s sitcom, and my parents were ardent fans and actually went to see this (and they NEVER go to the movies) and we were all disappointed.

This movie does not retain the feel of the original sitcom -- the characters didn't even have the same names. They were supposed to poke fun at the original but it would have been more effective if the characters weren't all in on the joke. If they had played their cheesy roles seriously, it would have been more effective humor. Instead, it just felt like a vanity piece for Drew Barrymore, Cameron Diaz and Lucy Liu to show how very fabulous they are.

And what a waste of Drew Barrymore, Bill Murray and Cameron Diaz, who actually CAN act! (No comment re: Lucy Liu. She was not the first choice for the character and it shows.)

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Next time hire a real director to make your movie.
Review: Wow what a waste,when I heard that the only experience the director of this film had was making music videos I was not expecting much and that is what I got.I believe the intention in making this film were true but you need more than style and FX to make a good movie.If this movie would of been directed by a visionary lets say...Russ Meyer or even a more plausible choice John Woo this movie might of been then end all be all action film. But what do we get here is another "cookie cutter" Hollywood film that is going to be dated in 2 months.Wow just what we need.
