Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle is a big, fun, bubble-brained mess of a movie, and that's exactly as it should be. Its popular 2000 predecessor got the formula right: gorgeous babes, throwaway plots, and as many current pop-cultural trends as you could stuff into a candy-coated dollop of Hollywood mayhem. This sequel goes one "better": The plot's even more disposable (if that's possible), the babes, cars, and fashions even more outlandish, and the stuntwork (heavily digital, heavily absurd) reaches astonishing heights of cartoon silliness. Reprising their titular (and shamelessly titillating) roles, Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore, and Lucy Liu are having the time of their lives, especially when sparring with ultra-buff rogue angel Demi Moore (looking better at 40 than most women half her age) and Justin Theroux as a sleazy Irish mobster. Bernie Mac replaces Bill Murray as angel-sidekick Bosley (they're step-brothers, don'cha know), which is one more indication of McG's intentionally reckless stewardship of an intentionally reckless franchise. Our advice: sit back, relax, and get jiggly with it. --Jeff Shannon

From The New Yorker

The sensationally long-waisted Cameron Diaz, a goofy beauty with a foot-wide smile, takes the pratfalls; Drew Barrymore, defiantly clinging to baby fat, is moody and unfulfilled, with hidden areas of melancholy; Lucy Liu, flinging her black hair around like a weapon, is the most imperious and beautiful of the three. They spend most of their time flipping over backward in the air in gorgeous slow-mo and then falling down in a heap and having laughing fits. The second installment of the "Charlie's Angels" franchise is immensely pleased with itself in the manner of adorable kids who know they can get away with anything-the movie's commercial opportunism is so self-confident in its silliness that you can't really fight it. Everything goes down easy except the uneasy presence of Demi Moore as an ex-Angel who has gone over to the dark side. The super-tight closeups of Moore reveal her usual lack of humor and what is normally called talent and also her utter determination to prevail-an unwitting reminder of how much work, in a picture like this, must go into the illusion of frivolous inconsequence. Directed by the former music-video ace McG. -David Denby

5.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious!!, April 9, 2004

This review is from: Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle (Unrated Widescreen Edition) (DVD)

First of all, I think the other reviewers who gave this movie such a bad rating were maybe taking the movie too seriously or something. I thought it was very funny and I personally did not like the first one because I did not think it was nearly as funny.
Give the movie a shot. If you rent it and after watching it you hate it, then you are only out about $3.

4.0 out of 5 stars "Angel" Cake, March 29, 2004

This review is from: Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle (Unrated Widescreen Edition) (DVD)

The "Charlie's Angels" films are much like the opera. You either love it or hate it. I personally like 'em (this film was much better than "The Matrix Reloaded". That movie was pure geekboy trash (yes, I got all the metaphysical monkey crap & I still hated it)).

In "Full Throttle", the Angels are hired by the Justice Department to retrieve a set of titanium rings that have secured files (once hooked up and downloaded onto a computer) of all the applicants of the witness protection program. If fallen into the wrong hands, these files can be bought and sold at a mighty high price.

The film itself, just like the original, doesn't take itself seriously (come on people, its based on a jiggly 70's T.V. show for God's sake!). The Angels do have there own personal problems, among the best of them is, Dylan worrying if the Angels might be splitting up (Dylan has a vision of the future Angels, among them, her being teamed up with the Olsen twins!). The soundtrack is great including songs from Rob Zombie, Loverboy, The Beach Boys, and Pink.

The action is, sadly, what bogs the movie down. It's great to have a cool action sequence in a film like this, but, when the film relies way, way too much on "Matrix" style fighting and "Bullit" Time slow-motion, you can't help, but, role your eyes and feel there should be something original in its place. The action is also way too cartoonish. I'm not a big fan of motorcross but even I know a cyclist can't do a handstand, pull out a gun, fire off three shots, turn back around, and land perfectly on the ground! If there is a third film, McG should calm the action down quite a bit(how about just a plain old shoot out or bar fight w/ no slow-motion?) and have a good solid plotline (how about something along the lines: The Angels have to catch a killer who is slowly wiping out former Angel members). Overall, the movie is worth the rent.

4.0 out of 5 stars not bad at all, September 14, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle (Unrated Widescreen Edition) (DVD)

I was surprised to see so many one star reviews for this movie. Personally I really thought it was good, but being a Lucy Liu fan makes a difference. I thought the second one was as good as the first -and it was more sexy.
