Reviews Counted:135

Fresh:91

Rotten:44

Average Rating:6.2/10

Consensus: The story and plot are nothing to write home about, but the movie has enough action and campy fun to entertain the skeptics.

Runtime: 1 hr 40 mins

Genre: Action/Adventure

Synopsis: A trio of elite private investigators armed with the latest in high-tech tools, high-performance vehicles, martial arts techniques and a vast array of disguises unleash their state-of-the-art... A trio of elite private investigators armed with the latest in high-tech tools, high-performance vehicles, martial arts techniques and a vast array of disguises unleash their state-of-the-art skills on land, sea and air to track down a kidnapped computer ace and keep his top-secret voice-identification software out of lethal hands.

They’re beautiful, they’re brilliant, and they work for Charlie. In Charlie’s Angels, a sexy, high-octane update of the original ’70s action-comedy TV series, Natalie (Cameron Diaz), Dylan (Drew Barrymore) and Alex (Lucy Liu), alongside faithful lieutenant Bosley (Bill Murray), must foil an elaborate murder-revenge plot that could not only destroy individual privacy worldwide, but spell the end of Charlie and his Angels.

Eric Knox (Sam Rockwell), the handsome, brainy founder of Knox Technologies, has just been kidnapped from his own office. Knox has designed a voice-identification software program that works more accurately than current fingerprinting techniques -- a scientific breakthrough that would mean disaster in the wrong hands.

Following Knox’s disappearance, Knox Technologies President Vivian Wood (Kelly Lynch) knows there’s only one man -- and three smart, sexy detectives -- to turn to. Hired to track down Knox, Charlie’s Angels set their sights on his rival, Roger Corwin (Tim Curry), who owns Red Star Systems, the world’s largest telecommunications satellite network. Undercover as geishas, belly dancers and racecar drivers, the Angels and Bosley search for clues and further infiltrate Corwin’s circle of friends and business associates. It appears the Angels are well on their way to solving their biggest case yet ... until Dylan responds to a mysterious phone call that puts all their lives -- including Charlie’s -- in danger once again.

Jumping out of planes, rewiring computers, going undercover -- it’s all in a day’s work for Charlie’s Angels as they must dish out equal doses of cool detective work, combat skill and lethal feminine charm to survive their riskiest assignment ever. [More]

Charlie's Angels is a further reminder, as if more was needed, that in an age of lowered expectations, we get the entertainment that we tolerate.

A highly entertaining, funny, exciting, no-holds-barred, bubblegum triumph of the way to make a great action-comedy, as well as a rambunctious female empowerment fantasy.

The jokes all work, the stunts are spectacular, there's lots of cleavage to be seen and all in all this is all that a popcorn movie should be.

Thanks to a snappy pace, some exciting action and a joy-ridden cast, this film is too much fun to be overanalyzed and scrutinized under the microscope.

It's at best a brainless -- and highly derivative -- diversion.

Despite it's kung fu quotient, Charlie's Angels is good, clean fun.

Forty years from now, academics may want to deconstruct this movie into semiotic sushi ... For now, it's best that you turn off your brain and dip into the meringue.

Give the director and writers of Charlie's Angels credit for knowing their material and making the most of that knowledge.

A breezy, fitfully engaging romp that feels fresher than most retreads.

Let's be honest -- you can only have so much sexploitation until it just becomes exploitation.

Yes, the new Charlie's Angels is silly, brain-dead and implausible. But this hip-chick Bond flick is also the most fun I've had at the movies this season.

You'd have to be a hopeless curmudgeon not to be entertained on some juvenile level by this motion picture.

The fact that Charlie's Angels amounts to little more than disarming patchwork scarcely seems to matter because it's so easy to ride the trio's exhilarating acrobatics and deftly self-mocking sex-kitten moves.

Charlie's Angels makes so much fun of itself that it beats you to the punch. But that doesn't mean you can't do your punching later.
