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.
