Charlie's Angels: Critic Reviews

The cast members seem to be having a high old time, and with sharper dialogue, an even higher time might have been had by all.

There's no grace or wit here, no surprise -- and not even much nostalgia.

A speedy, ask-no-questions pop contrivance that, as long as it keeps sparkling and whirling, continually amuses.

Charlie's Angels is like a Hong Kong flick but without the bogus spirituality and excruciating schlock-pop ballads.

These kickass Barbies bring heart to a machine-tooled genre.

Though all this is fun and engaging in short bursts ... it wears thin and strains our patience when stretched to cover even this film's brief 92-minute length.

Edgy girl power fun. You go, girls!

It's a hollow package that dumbs down wherever possible.

A radiantly dopey Saturday-night escape hatch.

The film is the equivalent of the 'dumb blonde' of action movies. No plot? No problem. Smile pretty now.

This is nothing but trailer moments. Ex-pop video director McG couldn't organise a pillow fight in a bedding factory.

The most fun movie of the year.

Charlie's Angels never slows down, and even when it's not delivering the thrills or a fun fight scene, it's being just plain funny.

A virtual big-budget explosion? Yes. A spectacle of three great actresses making fools of themselves? Sure. MTV-worthy martial arts monages that shamelessly rip off The Matrix? Yessireebob. But a movie? No. Not for an instant.

Slick film fun like this doesn't come along very often.

Silly, unoriginal and lacking any socially redeeming value whatsoever.

For a movie that gets its inspiration from one of the cheesiest television shows of the extra-cheesy 1970s, Charlie's Angels is surprisingly cool.

This is the enjoyably dumb action movie that Mission Impossible could (and should) have been.

A real mess, but that's somehow what makes it so damn fun.

Although the action movie is the last bastion of the male star, Charlie's Angels should change all that.

This wants to spoof macho action movies.... But lacking a coherent script to link the jokes, these Angels are left without a prayer.

Diaz, Barrymore and Liu obviously relish each costume change and, unsurprisingly, they look sensational regardless of what they're wearing -- or not wearing, as the case may be.

A sassy, brassy, titillating bundle of joy, Charlie's Angels is as close to pure, unrepentant fun as any movie in years.

Es simplista y hasta boba. Pero quin rayos se fija en el guin cuando Cameron Diaz desborda encanto(s) en la pantalla?

Ha coisas melhores na televisao.
