Python Hyena Charlie's Angels (2000): Dir: McG / Cast: Drew Barrymore, Cameron Diaz, Lucy Liu, Bill Murray, Sam Rockwell: Generates for the very purpose of showcasing three women seducing their way to victory. They are not given personalities. They are simply Drew Barrymore, Cameron Diaz and Lucy Liu throwing their feet about. Diaz meets the mailman at the door in her Spider-Man underwear. Barrymore strokes her tongue on someone's steering wheel. Liu swings a mean stick as she addresses a classroom full of males. Charlie is heard but not seen as he instructs the Angels on a mission. Title suggests that these women are not timid. The plot is numerous martial arts scenes that bare nothing to the original show. McG films it like a music video, but one wonders whether he actually remembers anything from the original show because this is a total farce. Barrymore fights off opposition while tied to a chair. Diaz engages in combat while talking on a cell phone. Bill Murray is cast as Bosley their mentor and while there are hints of comic flair, it is obvious that the role is pure cardboard. Sam Rockwell plays the villain whose role is about as enticing as a kick to the family jewels. Its feminist view seems to encourage retaliation against male society. In return, the male society should retaliate against this stupid film by burning every copy in existence. Score: 2 / 10

jessegehrig What are all the things in the world? Are they to be considered separately or as one lump sum? Remember when you were a child, how long ago was that? And when you were then were you ever really there, y'know, looking back now? Hey, did you know this was a Charlie's Angels movie? It came as some surprise to me. If you have enough money you can make any kind of movie. Money made this movie happen, you can tell just by watching it. Something glorious barely ever lived then died and it was put on film, half dream half sh*tty soul crushing multi-million dollar enterprise. No matter of any meaning was at all in any way mentioned through-out this entire motion picture- what is the value of that? Show your work for the equation

SnoopyStyle Natalie Cook (Cameron Diaz), Dylan Sanders (Drew Barrymore), and Alex Munday (Lucy Liu) are three girls recruited to work for the mysterious Charlie. Natalie is geeky brain with the body. Dylan is the rough and tumble rebel. Alex is the rich girl with ambition. Bill Murray is the new Bosley. Chad (Tom Green) is Dylan's weird boyfriend. Jason Gibbons (Matt LeBlanc) is Alex's clueless actor boyfriend. They have a new case to find kidnapped tech entrepreneur Eric Knox (Sam Rockwell). They are hired by Vivian Wood (Kelly Lynch) and Roger Corwin (Tim Curry) is the lead suspect.McG doesn't waste anytime and tries to push this high octane reboot of the campy 70s TV show. It's action, skimpy outfits, and more action. Bill Murray does his Murrayest best but it's obvious McG didn't write him much of anything. Then there is the oddball Tom Green. No matter how hard they try, they're unable to bring the comedy to this movie. The best thing about this is Cameron Diaz. It's always great to have her shake her assets in her underwear. And the girl can surely kick. At least, she goes all out dancing a storm with a smile. Drew and Lucy doesn't have Cameron's energy but who does? Crispin Glover plays a great villain. Overall it's a lot of flash but it's not quite as funny as it wants to be. It's not as fun or exciting as it should be. It's McG overload.

sddavis63 This is yet another in a long list of movies that Hollywood has put out in the last couple of decades based on old TV series from the 60's and 70's especially (which to me, more than anything else, suggests a lack of creativity on Hollywood's part, since these old shows and premises just keep being recycled one after the other, but that's a whole other story.) Some of these remakes have worked; others haven't. "Charlie's Angels" falls more into the latter category to be honest.The TV show was never one that could be taken especially seriously, but for the most part it did try to be serious. This movie, on the other hand, sets "serious" aside almost from the opening moment. It's heavy on martial arts fight scenes, and is more of an action movie than anything else. The story (about the attempt of a villain to identify and kill Charlie) lacks coherence and isn't especially logical, but on the other hand the story is really just an excuse for everything else that's happening.In fairness, the fight and action scenes are pretty well done, and the "Angels" (played by Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore and Lucy Liu) are quite lovely, and the movie makes no attempt to hide the fact that it's going for sexiness (all in an acceptable "PG" type manner, of course.) Bill Murray adds no sexiness, but he is along for the ride as Bosley. Charlie, as in the TV series, is never seen but is voiced once again by John Forsythe.Generally speaking, though, the story here is simply weak. I wasn't in the least riveted to the screen while watching this, and it really (to me at least, and I admit that I wasn't a big an of the show but I did see a few episodes) didn't capture the spirit of the original "Charlie's Angels" TV series. (4/10)
