But when a terrible secret is revealed it makes the Angels targets for assassination. Charlie&#39;s Angels * * * ½ Stars<br/><br/>While no one would accuse this of being the most intelligent or meaningful film of the year, it&#39;s just filled with energy from beginning to end making it one of the most fun<br/><br/>It&#39;s funny and the action scenes are great but if you&#39;re a guy there&#39;s three reasons to love this film from beginning to end: Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore, and Lucy Liu. The girls in this film are HOT! Even better the director knows it and uses the plot an excuse to dress them in a number fantasy type outfits (such a Swedish band, race car drivers, etc.) and gives the plenty of reasons to run, be wet, do gymnastics, wear skin tight leather, and in one particularly amazing scene let Cameron Diaz dance in nothing but a baby t and her underwear!<br/><br/>However ignoring the sumptuous T&amp;A factor there is still a lot to like about this film. For one the action scenes are fast paced and a lot of fun. A cross between Mortal Kombat and The Matrix, it seems the girls and their foes have superpowers, which is sort of inexplicable, but the fights are so well choreographed that I just decided to go along with it and enjoy. Hands down the best action scenes of the year are in this film. There is also perhaps the most exhilarating twist on the old action standby of the car chase in 20 years in this film. In a lot of ways it plays like a really good James Bond film, only gender reversed.<br/><br/>The movie also knows it&#39;s remaking a campy 70&#39;s TV show so it has fun with itself and consequently it&#39;s legitimately funny on a lot of levels. Which is good, since if it tried take itself seriously it would obviously fall flat. Instead the humor, action scenes and the girls combined are so stimulating that the film can be forgiven having a paper-thin plot.<br/><br/>But perhaps the film&#39;s best asset is the cast. The girls aren&#39;t just good looking they are developed enoughcharacters to sparkle. Diazthe ditsy blonde is really the breakout star of the film, giving perhaps the best performance of her Hollywood career here. Barrymore brings her trademark feistiness to the role and Liu is just dynamic to watchshe has the bulk of the action scenes. Bill Murray starsthe girls&#39; boss Bosley and while the script doesn&#39;t ask much of him than his usual shtick that&#39;s still enough to be entertaining especially when he gets to interact with Tim Curry. Crispen Glover is just pure evil in this film and yet contains an aura of total bad-ass cool. But perhaps the second best performance in the entire film is a small supporting part for Tom Green who has the film&#39;s funniest and most uplifting scene. LL Cool J has also has an excellent cameo appearance.<br/><br/>I&#39;d also be remiss not to comment on this film&#39;s soundtrack which uses the original TV theme and good mix of 70&#39;s disco and early 80&#39;s pop music to correspond with the action and like so many other elements of this film just enhance the total sense of fun one gets in watching it. Diaz again has two break out scenes involving the music, one on a disco dance floor early in the film and one on a first date that is just terrific comedic set piece.<br/><br/>Ultimately if you don&#39;t mind a film that&#39;s a little low on intelligence then this is definitely a film you want to check out. It just pure entertainment from beginning to end. And if you&#39;re a guy it&#39;s also the sexiest film since last year&#39;s Entrapment with Catherine Zeta Jones. I wish they would&#39;ve made a 3rd one before they got older Of course, it's terrible – but did it have to be this bad?
