Movie:  4/5

Teaser

Natalie (Cameron Diaz), Dylan (Drew Barrymore), and Alex (Lucy Liu) -- three women with wildly different backgrounds working as agents for the mysterious Charlie -- are back. Two rings which hold the decryption codes for Halo, the Witness Protection Program computer, have been stolen and are on the open market. The Angels have to recover the rings pronto, before more people die. They also have to juggle their real lives and find out who stole the rings in the first place.

Movie

"Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle" is an over-the-top action movie that is not afraid to be so whacked out crazy that it starts being unbelievable. A slew of special effects borrowed from other movies, plus the usual dose of sexual innuendo, sexy outfits and exotic dancing make this an entertaining movie.
The plot is hurried because there's a lot going on -- the girls have to jump to the next action scene almost before the previous scene is finished. Lots of cameos dot the film, including Bruce Willis and Jaclyn Smith reprising her Angels' role.

Actors

This is not a serious acting movie -- looks and physicality are what counts. Personally, all three are only fairly good looking and not stunning. They do have some great lines though and they're certainly willing to go all out in some of the scenes. At 40, Demi Moore still looks great in a bikini.

Recommendations

If you liked the first movie, this is more of the same only done better.
