Charlies Angels |
| 2000 | |
| 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. Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore, Lucy Liu, and Bill Murray |
