Charlie's Angels - Full Throttle (Unrated Edition)
Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle is a big, fun, bubble-brained mess of a movie, and that's exactly as it should be. Its popular 2000 predecessor got the formula right: gorgeous babes, throwaway plots, and as many current pop-cultural trends as you could stuff into a candy-coated dollop of Hollywood mayhem. This sequel goes one "better": The plot's even more disposable (if that's possible), the babes, cars, and fashions even more outlandish, and the stuntwork (heavily digital, heavily absurd) reaches astonishing heights of cartoon silliness. Reprising their titular (and shamelessly titillating) roles, Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore, and Lucy Liu are having the time of their lives, especially when sparring with ultra-buff rogue angel Demi Moore (looking better at 40 than most women half her age) and Justin Theroux as a sleazy Irish mobster. Bernie Mac replaces Bill Murray as angel-sidekick Bosley (they're step-brothers, don'cha know), which is one more indication of McG's intentionally reckless stewardship of an intentionally reckless franchise. Our advice: sit back, relax, and get jiggly with it. --Jeff Shannon

Charlie's Angels
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

Charlie's Angels - Angels in Chains
"...But I took them away from all that, and now they work for me. My name is Charlie." Kelly, Jill, and Sabrina--three young women right out of the Academy, working for the illustrious and mysterious private investigator Charles Townsend. Charlie's Angels is a true time capsule of the 1970s, expressed through crime fighting, daunting intrigue, and subtle sexuality. "Angels in Chains" is a tale of deception in a corrupt women's prison. A distressed woman is desperate to solve the mysterious disappearance of her sister in a Southern prison. The law can't help her, the system can't help her. As a last resort she turns to Charlie's Angels. The Angels accept the assignment and discover that the prison serves as the warden's private ring of prostitution. Among the Angels' "prison mates" is a young Kim Basinger. In "Angels Under Covers," the Angels are hired to investigate a string of strange occurrences in the red light district's massage parlors. Guess what? It appears that more than just "massages" are going on under those red lights. And behind the shenanigans is none other than the police department's crooked Lieutenant played by Ed Lauter. Yes it's campy, but in a wonderfully dated sort of way. --Rob Bracco
