I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
Nailed it! I loove Charlie's Angels! Thaaank you Drew, Cameron and Lucy, and whoever. It's funny, hip, sexy, cool, classy, and totally freaking hot with high octane action fueled by adrenaline pumping music led by a super hot trio of ridiculously hot super hot gorgeous girls in Lucy, Drew and Cameron. It's soooo hot! It's igniting my fire! I love everything about this movie. EVERYTHING! Charlie's Angels is my #2 favorite movie of all-time. I love the Angels' smiles, and their laughs, and their hairs, and their outfits, and their brains, and their bodies, and their moves, and their motives. There's way way too many hot moments to be listed here so only just a few of my favorite hot moments will now be presented - dazzling Natalie in her dazzling gold bikini and speed boat in the skydiving beginning (oh my holy hot Cameron) - Dylan and Alex yanking Natalie like a yo-yo while cuffed together in prison garbs (oh my holy hot Cameron) - Angel of the morning, Dylan, waking up with sloppy lipstick to a houseboat drip and sweet Chad's singing (let's forget about eggs) - Natalie's sexy dance dream and super, super sexy booty shake in Spiderman panties, purple shirt, blue slippers and pink hair braid and a retainer when she wakes up to make her bed and then welcome the mail man (mouth open, jaw dropped, speechless) - Alex's oily oriental massage using her feet as Yoko (oooohhh luuucy liuuuu) - Alex fixing the fast food drive thru speaker with her gum and Swiss Army knife (omg) - Dylan at the race track with drill bit in hand in her red & white & blue starry race suit (yyes! what just happened?) - Alex and Nat's fiery hot Middle Eastern belly dance for Director #1 (oh sweet pretty girls!) - the Angels spanking each other's bums and yodeling while delivering a singing telegram with Boz and a goat all in sexy Himalayan outfits for Director #2 (hahahaha yeeeeeehhhh yeeehhhhhhh haha omgoodness, Lucy as a blonde) - Alex in all black leather, glasses and red lipstick using her disciplinary switch on company tech nerds as the efficiency expert (ooooo barracuda, I'm in love with you, Lucy) - Natalie infiltrating the facility as a man and shedding her suit and mustache for her invisible all white skin tight rubber suit (so nice!) - Miss Vivian Wood simply seducing poor Bosley (wicked hot Kelly Lynch, lucky Bill Murray) - Natalie getting funky to Sir Mix-a-Lot at Soul Train with Pete (white girl can dance) - Dylan in nothing but a blanket nearly being blown to bits by Viv and Eric off the cliff side apartment, out the window, down the hill, then covering her naked bits with the kids' inner tube (shadowy and really sweet) - the Angels all getting on then all zipping off their wet scuba suits on the sunny rocky beach side (camera don't go up, never, never go up) - Dylan keeping the smoking henchman at bay with her wits while tied to the chair with her hands behind her back trying to spark her trusty American lighter (no I am listening I really am) - and the beautiful tropical paradise ending with the 3 beautiful Angels in flowery swimsuits and mix drinks in hand and running with Boz and Charlie on the beach in the ocean (heavenly happy days) - in complete secession. Drew and Cameron and Lucy are perfect as Charlie's Angels. I love them all, and I love this movie and I love the sequel. I love Cameron the most.
The first time I've seen this I was like 13 y.o. and as far as I remember, it was a lot of fun. I've never seen the show though. Re-watched the movie today when I'm almost 30 and guess what? It still is. It's very infectious with fun and positive attitude. This one movie has everything: 1. Ridiculous but competently shot action and stunts (some really good ones) 2. Beautiful ladies (yet a little oversexualized and objectified) 3. Tons of early 2000's cultural references. I mean, I felt like a kid again. Korn, Prodigy, Nokia, Tom Green, The Matrix, Mission Impossible, "cool computer stuff", you name it. This movie is so 2000s. 4. 90% of the dialogue was just funny nonsense. Almost every line makes you say "what?". It gets a little boring closer to the end, but it never gets too long anyway. Leaves you on a positive note though. They knew what they were doing and it surely represents the idea behind it. Can't really rate this higher than 5, but it's sure is great for what it is.
This film is wildly 1990s hip and very of it's time, which is probably indicatives of how vapid the late 90s were, lacking in a clear identity of it's own, instead relying on retro nostalgia. Sure there was grunge, "Friends," and the Spice Girls, but those were really all just throwback as well and I'm not sure that's much of a cultural identity. But enough about 1990s being a cultural wasteland when compared to the 60s, 70s, or 80s. As vapid and lightweight of a film as "Charlie's Angels" is, it's also a whole lot of fun. Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore, and Lucy Liu play the super spy/detective angels, with the help of Bosley, a always great Bill Murray, have to foil a plot to steal software or something. The plot here really doesn't matter because the film is basically a series of barely connected but funny scenes/vignettes consisting of comedy, sexiness, or well done fight sequences (choreographed by Cheung-Yan Yuen, the fight choreographer from my favorite Jet Li movie "Fist of Legend"). The fun does feel forced at times, but it's an extremely likable cast, which include a ton of familiar faces in supporting roles (Sam Rockwell, Tim Curry, LL Cool J, Luke Wilson, Matt LeBlanc, and Tom Green (there's a 90s wasteland figure I'd forgotten about!). Crispin Glover is the biggest standout of the supporting cast as the deadly mute assassin know as "Thin Man" who dresses like he's stepped off the set of "The Avengers." Overall, "Charlie's Angels" is the epitome of fluff, but it's enjoyable fluff and not all that dissimilar from a 1960s Flint or Matt Helm movie.
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
