Summary: Was this a joke????
Review: OK, I rented Charlie's Angels cuz I heard it was funny, and I love Lucy Lui, shes a great actress. Was this a parody of the orginal Charlie's Angels? The script was poorly written, and half the technology they had could never be made. It was very unrealistic. I admit, some lines were funny, and some of the music was funny(Caviar and Blink182). I wish I could have seen more of Matt LeBlanc, Tom Green and Tim Curry. It was cool to see women superheos kick guys butts, but the script was just so poor. I would not recomend this movie to everyone.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Very good flick!
Review: I liked this movie. They did a very good job of combining an action movie and a comedy. Highly recommended.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Funny, Funny and good clean fun
Review: I wasn't thrilled to hear they were making this movie. I figured leave well enough alone. My husband rented it and after veiwing it we had to own it and it's soundtract.

This is a movie that didn't take it's self seriously. We laughed and were amazed with the fight scenes as well as the other outlandish scenes. My 3 year old loved it, too. After watching it for the 2nd time she wanted to act out the fight scenes. The music for this movie was wonderful and the charcters were great. If you are looking for a good laugh and enjoyed the action of The Matrix and the action and dark humor of Long Kiss Goodnight this movie is for you. It was also refreshing to see a movie that didn't use vulger language and there was only one scene that used a gun. While you've got this movie check out the behind the scenes information, it was great. I actually look forward to seeing another Charlie's Angels movie.

Rent it. Laugh. Have a great time!

Summary: Another P.O.S.
Review: I had heard mixed reviews of this movie, so I decided to check it out for myself. Jeez this was simply horrible!! Everything about it was poorly done. When will they learn to not hire music video directors to make movies?! (Except the rare case of a Spike Jonze or David Fincher) Jokes in this "movie" fall flat, as does the wanna be "Matrix" style of fighting. I can understand the exaggerated style of fighting in a film like "The Matrix" or "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" where the film itself is pure fantasy. This movie is supposed to be set in real life. How come only the girls can do the wire flying kicks? (is it because they're "angels") Whatever the case may be, just avoid this horrendously AWFUL movie.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Potentially disastrous flick turns into big-time fun!
Review: I had about as much enthusiasm to seeing this movie when it came out as having a root canal. So I stayed away from it like the plague.

But the reviews and word of mouth were good, so I made a point of "checking this one out" on DVD the other night.

To say I was happily surprised is an understatement. If you're looking for mindless action, hilarious, unpretentious poking fun of the fashions and trends of the 1970s and 1980s, and a level of energy that leaves you breathless from scene to scene -- on top of watching a trio of babes vamping it up shamelessly with an obvious wink to some of us oldsters who remember the idiotic television series -- this film is definitely for you.

The success of this film has everything to do with being funny, sexist and not giving the audience a nanosecond to take the whole ride seriously. No pseudo-intellectual pronouncements or babbling social messages here; no phony posturing as high concept art, the movie version of "Charlie's Angels" is more fun than the television series could ever be, loaded with wall to wall action and hilarious bits that can be seen repeatedly, not to mention a wonderfully diverse soundtrack that grabs all of the best bars of the greatest musical riffs from the 1970s through the 1990s. Yes, even though the film is rooted in the 1970s and 1980s, the instrumental passages are pure contemporary Matrix stuff, adding immeasurably to the enjoyment factor.

If you're going to remake a joke, you might as well do it right. And "Charlie's Angels" turns a potentially disastrous and dated series into something that is no more or less than great popcorn entertainment.

I love surprises and I don't mind being wrong when you go in with low expectations and come out finding "value." This is ultimately, when you step back, a little trifle of a film with a big, big budget and production values that would have been worth the $8.50 admission had I not judged it unfairly, purely on pre-conceived notions based on its ad campaign, its jiggle-enhanced cast and a television series and premise I never liked even when it was popular.

If you have a degree in comparative literature, turn it around to face the wall. This film has no other goal than to entertain and make you laugh. And it does both very well. Action comedies are hard to debate and are an underrated genre, even when done well. They have never won Oscars, probably never will, but who really cares?

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good quality transfer/sound with weak extras
Review: I agree with the long review below. The transfer and sound on this disk are good, and the movie is lots of fun for those who enjoyed it, but don't buy it if you haven't seen it. As for the extras on the disk, well, as with most disks these days they seem to be reaching to fill things out. The behind the scenes stuff is moderatly interesting, particularly the stuff about the martal arts training, but other stuff is just promotional. Don't buy for the extras, only for the film itself.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Bad, Bad, Bad
Review: I don't usually do reviews but this movie is so bad that I felt I had to warn my fellow viewers. I have nothing against trashy, even stupid movies... they can be quite fun. I certainly have nothing against sexy movies either. This one however has no redeeming qualities. It was painful to watch and when I finally shut it off about 3/4 of the way through, I was angry at having wasted my time. My wife disliked it almost as much as I did. If you're still curious, do yourself a favor and rent it first.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Blew Chads...
Review: This was one very weak film, that unfortunately wasted the talents of all those involved (except for perhaps Tom Green who was par for his talent course). I'd spend the DVD dollars elsewhere, or just rent it...you likely won't want to watch it more than once ! (web site)
