Charlie S Angels | Description: Based on the babe-a-licious show from the 1970s, CHARLIE'S ANGELS is a defiantly goofy action movie featuring plenty of comedy and a strong sense of girl power. Three talented young women work for the mysterious Charles Townsend: Natalie (Cameron Diaz), the bubbly blond science expert; Dylan (Drew Barrymore), the rebellious tomboy; and Alex (Lucy Liu), the tough Angel who has trouble telling her boyfriend that she's a highly skilled secret agent. The Angels are assigned to locate Eric Knox (Sam Rockwell), a kidnapped computer expert whose new software could threaten global security if it were to fall into the wrong hands. The women go undercover to investigate this devious tycoon and are faced with double crosses, explosions, and the mysterious Thin Man. From the acclaimed music-video director McG (Joseph McGinty), CHARLIE'S ANGELS wastes little time on plot, instead presenting audiences with a series of spectacular MATRIX-style fight sequences, car chases, and stunts. Year: 2000 Classification: Action Actors/Actresses: - Drew Barrymore as Dylan Sanders - Tim Curry as Roger Corwin - Cameron Diaz as Natalie Cook - Crispin Glover - Kelly Lynch as Vivian Wood - Lucy Liu as Alex Munday - Michiko Nishiwaki - Sam Rockwell as Eric Knox - Luke Wilson as Pete - Bill Murray - John Forsythe as Charles Townsend - Matt LeBlanc as Jason Gibbons - LL COOL J as Mr Jones - Sean Whalen as Pasqual Good morning, Charlie! Having never seen the sitcom a la 1970s, I went into this movie not knowing what to expect. In a nutshell, Charlie's Angels is a fun girl power flick that never pretends to be the high class artistic film it isn't. Director McG's sense of color and pop culture really help to bring this picture into the new millenium. Since each has her own distinct personality, all three angels shine, although my personal opinion is that Bill Murray deserved more screen time as Bosley. Because the story line was relatively simple, McG "pumped up" several other elements. This is made evident in the DVD supplementary material. Among them were the music (each song perfectly fitting, making for an excellent soundtrack), the costuming (who could forget Cameron Diaz' Spider Man underwear or Lucy Liu's black leather ensemble?), and the special effects (fight scenes and explosions abound). For a genuine fun time, rent this DVD with a few girlfriends (guy friends?)and turn on the surround sound. Speaking of which, taking note of certain costumes (or lack therof), one wonders who McG intends the audience to be. Nevertheless, Charlie's Angels is a sugar sweet, happy fun movie whose anthem should be "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun."
