Critic's Grade: A+



An action-packed film that has class, spunk, edge, romance and a lot more.

Once upon a time there lived three girls. Action-filled, beautiful, smart, funny and the best in everything they do. There's Natalie (Cameron Diaz- The Sweetest Thing, Vanilla Sky), the smart, funny and virginal girl of the group. Dylan (Drew Barrymore- Riding in Cars With Boys, Scream) the tomboy and sexual one. And Alex (Lucy Liu- Ballistic, Shanghai Noon) the brains of the group. They are very different girls, but all work for a man named Charlie. Their boss is Bosley (Bill Murray- Wild Things) and he's the helper for the angels. Their new mission is to locate where a kidnapped computer genius is being held captive. Helping them out is a beatiful woman (Kelly Lynch- Baby Genisues, Joe Somebody) who has something to hide. And their main suspect of the kidnapping is a top buisnessman. To help save the genius, the girls must work together in saving the man or is he the bad guy?

Co-starring are Sam Rockwell (Heist), Crispin Glover (Like Mike, Charlie's Angels 2), Tom Green (Stealing Harvard, Freddy Got Fingered), LL Cool J (Deep Blue Sea, Kingdom Come), Matt Le Blanc (Lost in Space, TV's Friends), and Tim Curry (Scary Movie 2, Clue) and Luke Wilson (The Royal Tennebaums, Soul Survivors) .

A good movie that has action, and three leading ladies to appeal to women and hot women for the guys. It's use of humor, sexuality, and violence makes this film a must-see. Based on the 1970's hit television series, the film is a great one to see. A similiarity in the film is that no one ever saw Charlie in the t.v. show and nobody did in this film. But we all know it's John Forsythe
Directed by video director McG, the film is a fluffy girl-power movie for all ages. The action done the girls is brilliant and top notch, but it has a bad thing. Like all the action films used today, this movie uses "Matrix" style slow-motion action and fast-paced music to make it seem great. Nothing wrong with it, but after the 100th film does it, you get pretty tired of watching it. It even goes to coping the shooting scene from "The Matrix" by making Drew Barrymore's character do a slow-motion move that saved her life.

Many of the action-sequences are at sometimes used from other films and looks stupid, but are fun to watch. Many of the sexual jokes used in the film are done only by Ms. Barrymore. Known for her sexual ways, no surprise that she would be the sexy one. It even goes to have a booty shoot of Barrymore falling and you can't help by laugh at it.

Diaz was absolutely hilarious as Natalie and really showd her comedic and girl next door image in the film. Liu used her martial arts skills to get "wows" from the audience and really made you say she is skilled. For the ladies handsome actors Matt Le Blanc, Luke Wilson and LL Cool J each had cameos as different people in the film.

The music featured in the film is edgy, classy and will make you wanna dance. Songs from Aerosmith and Destiny's Child are used to get hits. The film may be very repeatitive at times, but when it's entertaining, it's entertaining.

Out of a possible 4 stars, this movie deserves a good 3 stars.
