Review of Charlie's Angels (2000) by Mark S — 07 Aug 2009

After nearly a two-decade long absence, the offices of Charles Townsend Private Investigations are once again open for business, with its staff of beauties ready to take on the baddies, dishing out triple helpings of both jiggle and justice.

To appreciate "Charlie's Angels", you have to view it for what it is: empty-headed escapist entertainment in the vein of "Army of Darkness", "Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery", or "The Heroic Trio". As a send-up to the old television show, it should appeal to "Charlie's Angels" fans, while action mavens should find the martial arts choreography exhilarating. So if your over-taxed brain is in need of a rest or you just want something fun to do for a couple of hours, the loopy drivel of "Charlie's Angels" just might be what you need.
