Film Review of Charlies Angels
Year: 2000 Reviewer: Chris Docker
Available in a cinema near you in lobotomyscope and lycravision, Charlie's Angels kung-fu there way through this enjoyable spoof without wasting time on subtlety. Don't worry if you were admiring Diaz's lovely torso at a critical plot juncture - if you missed anything they will explain it again slowly a few minutes later. Diaz seems to have such a great time being a superhero that I wonder if she should have paid the studio a few million instead of the other way around - but at least she comes across with verve and a certain charisma. Sidekicks Liu and Barrymore realise this movie doesn't require too much acting skill and so don't lower themselves to such seriousness. From fantastic outfits to cool locations and the latest slow-motion bullet sfx (taken shamelessly from the Matrix), Charlie's Angels spends 90 million dollars without too much attention to plot, script or anything else except providing a feelgood action film with three lovely ladies strutting their stuff as they chase villains and lots of nice explosions and fast cars and things. Don't go to see it in a critical mood - make it the finale to a good night out on the town and soak up the entertainment value.
Rating: 5/10
