Charlie's Angels (Superbit Two-Disc Deluxe Edition) Review

The greatest thing about `Charlie's Angels' is that it knows what it is and totally embraces it. I mean, the film is not trying to be a serious take on a television classic. Instead, this film is delivering up a comedic homage to the show that perfectly balances parody with sentiment to create something fresh, funny, engaging and unforgettable. With witty dialog, surprisingly thoughtful character development and fight sequences that can certainly tangle with the best of them; `Charlie's Angels' is one-hundred-percent delightfully tacky fun!

The film centers on the Natalie, Dylan and Alex, three super spy action chicks working for Charlie, their mysterious boss. Their next job has to do with a kidnapped programmer and a creepy `thin man', but really...plot?

Let's talk about hilarious comedic timing and overt sensuality combined with the perfect amount of testosterone bashing action sequences!

Casting Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore and Lucy Liu as the trio of kick-butt chicks was genius, even if I was semi-doubtful at first. Diaz has splendid comedic timing is flawless and she really works that here, giving Natalie that geeky sheik flirtatious ditz vibe. Lucy Liu has such an edgy strength to her, and her dominating sensual delivery is effortless and tantalizing. Barrymore is just pure joy. I love the spunky neurotic tones she delivers to Dylan, giving her this sensually commanding presence that gives way to a humanity that flourishes with her genuine spirit.

They are just fantastic here.

I can't think of a single thing wrong with this film. I am not the biggest fan of the sequel, only because they played a lot of the same gags and played around too much with the CGI. What I like about this film is that the action scenes play very authentic and realistic despite their outlandishly lavish qualities. The film is exciting and unpredictable (in that I totally didn't predict this would be so much fun) and with hilarious performances by the entire cast, including Bill Murray (perfect casting decision), Matt LeBlanc, Tom Green and a genuinely creepy Sam Rockwell (not to mention Tim Curry and Crispin Glover), `Charlie's Angels' turns out to be the perfect popcorn munching blockbuster!

Charlie's Angels (Superbit Two-Disc Deluxe Edition) Specifications

For every TV-into-movie success like The Fugitive, there are dozens of uninspired films like The Mod Squad. Happily--and surprisingly--this breezy update of the seminal '70s jiggle show falls into the first category, with Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore (who also produced), and Lucy Liu starring as the hair-tossing, fashion-setting, kung fu-fighting trio employed by the mysterious Charlie (voiced by the original Charlie, John Forsythe). When a high-tech programmer (Sam Rockwell) is kidnapped, the angels seek out the suspects, with the daffy Bosley (Bill Murray in a casting coup) in tow. A happy, cornball popcorn flick, Charlie's Angels is played for laughs with plenty of ribbing references to the old TV show as well as modern caper films like Mission: Impossible. McG, a music video director making his feature film debut (usually a death warrant for a movie's integrity), infuses the film with plenty of Matrix-style combat pyrotechnics, and the result is the first successful all-American Hong Kong-style action flick. Plenty of movies boast a New Age feminism that has their stars touting their sexuality while being their own women, but unlike something as obnoxious as Coyote Ugly, Angels succeeds with a positive spin on Girl Power for the new millennium (Diaz especially sizzles in her role of crack super agent/airhead blonde). From the send-up of the TV show's credit sequence to the outtakes over the end credits, Charlie's Angels is a delight. --Doug Thomas
