Review of Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle (2003) by Directors C — 25 Dec 2011

The Full Throttle sequel is at best a slice of mindless escapism. The problem was that they focused so much on making the already attractive trio look even more sexy that the idea of a good plot and gripping action thrills were entirely forgotten in the process.

Another problem was they had John Cleese. There was no point in having him because he wasn't able to do what he does best and thats make people laugh. He was just used as a sort of cameo. They should have had him in a much larger and funnier role.

Of course the funny Bernie Mac shines as Bosley (Bill Murray's replacement) and brought some pretty good chuckles. But ultimately the film is just an excuse to see three talented and attractive actors half naked.

The movie's hidden tagline is simply, "sex sells!". And unfortunately, it did sell pretty well.
