Once upon a time, there were three little girls who watched a television show...., 2008-12-30
Charlie's Angels (2000) And they all grew up to be successful movie actresses and they made sure this series became one to make the jump to the Big Screen. It follows the successful blueprint of The Brady Bunch Movie: take the concept of the series and subvert it in some way. The filmmakers wisely clue the audience in right away, having one of the characters verbally deride a (fake) feature film called TJ Hooker-The Movie. With that sense of humor, this feature proceeds to have a grand old time poking fun at the semi-campy series it was derived from. br / We follow Drew Barrymore (also one of the film's producers), Cameron Diaz (There's Something About Mary), and Lucy Liu (Payback) through a lot of fast paced action nonsense that takes satiric jabs at everything from Mission Impossible to the Matrix. br / And it is a lot of fun. You do have to be in the mood for this kind of "wink wink nudge nudge" romp, but if you are, there's plenty here to enjoy, from flashy visuals to the three leads' beauty, from the scenery chewing bad guys to good ol' Bill Murray, adding his usual hint of the absurd as aide de camp Bosley. br / Now, apparently not everyone has the sense of humor needed to enjoy this, as there is not one single television Angel cameo to be seen, but thankfully John Forsythe once again lends his wonderful voice to the Angels' never-seen boss, Charlie. br / If you enjoy lighthearted (and possibly lightheaded) adventure, check this one out. Also with Sam Rockwell (The Green Mile), Kelly Lynch (Mr. Magoo), Crispin Glover (Back to the Future), and Tim Curry.

Good Morning Angels-Good Morning Charlie, 2008-12-27
When this came out I couldn't stop watching it and seven years later I still watch it. br / br /This high action drama is full of twists and turns and is a real visual/audio pleaser. There is a quality of uniqueness in every scene. And ever present in each scene are great songs from the 70's, 80', and 90's. This helps to build up what is taking place for each scene. br / br /Some of the fighting moves are almost laughable but you find yourself rooting for these angels and wanting them to kick butt. It is all around entertaining and a small quantity of corny/geeky parts but this makes the movie all the more real and lovable. If you want fun and excitment, this is for you. This movie may be a lot of things, but BORING is not one of them. I recommend this and its one of personal favs.

Great adaption of a classic tv show, 2008-03-26
Charlie's Angels is one of the few movies next to the MI series that is a good adaption of the tv show on which it is based. All of the angels are perfectly cast and the action sequences directed by MCG are tight. Bill Murray is very funny as Bosely and it's a shame he wasn't be in the sequel. All in all good fun.

Demonstrates How Stupid the Original TV Show Was, 2008-02-16
The lack of credibility in the plot and the offensive story line brings into light just how stupid the original TV show was. Had that show been promoted initially as a comedy it would have put the issue to bed very early on in the piece. However, the undiscerning will actually take this incredulous drivel seriously and that fact is really a joke. I have done various forms of martial arts myself in mixed groups and I know from experience that the women cannot compete with the men in serious contests. Not that the women I trained with weren't competent. But there are certain psychological and physiological factors that make inter-gender contests inappropriate- and indecent. [Not that decency has ever been a consideration for the entertainment media.]
