Charlie's Angels - should have
been entitled
Cheesie's Angels, for
this is the cheesiest movie ever to come out
of a dairy - sorry -
movie studio.
More about the cheese later.
Charlie's Angels are portrayed
by Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore and Loopy Lulu.
Apart from a great massage scene, the latter
didn't seem to meld very well with the knowing,
light hearted tone affected by her adventuring
coworkers (horrible American word there).
We also have Bill Murray as Bosley and Charlie
himself who manifests himself as a talking piece
of perforated metal, a 70's artefact strangely
un-updated in a film with even more product-placed
mobile phones than cheesy grins.
Charlie's Angels is actually fun
in places, with its bizarrely ridiculous set
pieces. Tim Curry is a great Panto Villain in
a Panto movie. Then another villain pitches
up, a real anticlimax of a villain. Villainy
should be left to those who can act.
The action scenes are the most watchable, with
stunts so over-the-top that, had they cropped
up in a Road Runner cartoon, the quality control
droids would have rejected them as being implausible.
This movie is closer to Naked Gun than to James
Bond.
A hidden pleasure to be had in
Charlies
Angels: observe the utter lack of chemistry
between the leads and their boyfriends. Fantastic.
So how did the girlie performances add up? Drew
Barrymore was the most watchable Angel but not
always for the right reasons. The scene where
she beats up five blokes is an utter joy. Observe
how her obviously lame kicks and punches send
'em flying. THWACK!!! KERPOW!!! Love it! As
for Lulu, she seemed to disappear. Then there
was Diaz who repeated her cookie "
A
Life Less Ordinary" performance as
a dancing, ditzy doll with a grin as bright
as any sun and as cheesy as any moon.
Ah yes, Cheese!
Cheesie's Angels
is a movie that would satisfy a million mice,
if not a single man.
Charlie
fires the Angels because they can't act.

I felt I had
to delete the crop of filthy talkbacks,
to protect kiddie's that might stumble
accross the page, but I reproduce a version
of one of them with the profanity toned
down, so one can tut and frown piously
and shake one's head...
Name **** Charlies Angels
Email go suck ** **** @ you s**** c*** and c**.com
Subject: Charlies Angels are Some Ugly Sl***!!!!
Comment
I agree with the guy who wrote this shit!!!! Charlies Angels was a LOAD OF STINKY OLD ROTTEN CRAP!!!!
Who the ******* Hell wants to see Drew
Barrymore an ugly ass fat b**** with no
ass, and tits!!!! She is so ****** ugly
and fat that a fat mother****** wont even
***** her ugly sl*** ass!!!!
Also who the Hell wants to see Lucy Liu
an ugly ******* skinny ass gook with no
ass, and tits, she is a ******* sack of
bones and shit!!!! Prabably skiny, weak
ass virgin men wont even **** her little
****** ***, and ******(if she has one)!!!!
Cameron Diaz was probably the only good
looking actor in the ****** piece of maggot
infested shit of a crappy movie!!!!
Thats the worst movie you can pay for
seeing, because who the **** wants to
see Drew Barrymore, and Lucy Liu some
ugly ass sl***!!!!
If you want to see a movie with some fine
ass b****** I would recommend a Pornographic
Movie, and a fine ass sl** with tits,
ass, and a fine ass p**** so you can ****
her ****** ass p**** and watch the pornographic
video at the same time!!!!
There was more, and worse, where this
came from... But in a way, it does tell
you all you need to know about C.A.
Thanks for the talkbacks so far
- Jim
