They’re beautiful, they kick ass and they work for Charlie. On June 27, 2003, America’s greatest secret weapon will be unleashed again as Natalie Cook (Cameron Diaz), Dylan Sanders (Drew Barrymore) and Alex Munday (Lucy Liu) reunite for a challenging new adventure in Charlie’s Angels®: Full Throttle, a sequel to the blockbuster action comedy, directed by McG and inspired by the phenomenally popular television series. The Angels prepare to strike without warning as they go undercover to retrieve two missing silver bands. These are no ordinary rings. They contain valuable encrypted information that reveals the new identities of every person in the Federal Witness Protection Program. When witnesses start turning up dead, only the Angels, using their expertise as masters of disguise, espionage and martial arts, can stop the perpetrator, a mysterious ‘fallen’ Angel (Demi Moore). Aided by their trusty colleague, Jimmy Bosley (Bernie Mac), the Angels’ adventure begins at a remote Mongolian outpost and ends only after Dylan (Barrymore) is forced to face a dark secret from her past -- a secret that puts the lives of her two best friends in danger.

The title refers to the speed with which the film is cut by its director, a specialist in music videos. It could also apply to what otherwise peaceable folk might want to do should they get their hands around his throat.

It amounts to cinema for goldfish, so empty that even the makers can't remember what happened five seconds ago.

Citizen Kane for teenage boys. Still, it's better than the original.

Even as a girl fantasy flick, "Full Throttle" fails because the filmmakers are more distracted with bad music video set pieces than telling a story.

The special effects sequences, silly jokes, tantalizing outfits and overbearing soundtrack seem painfully forced and fake. Or maybe a better word is shallow. This film, for whatever it achieves, is painfully shallow.

It's like a third-rate Austin Powers picture cut to the whacking, attention-deficit-disorder tempo of Moulin Rouge.

Well, at least the title is apt -- this aggravatingly incoherent series of subpar music videos did make me want to see someone fully throttled.

Once again, the tone is that of a giggly, sweetly knowing, megabucks slumber party.

To paraphrase Steven Soderberg, if having fun on a set was an indication of how good the movie will be then Cannonball Run would be the greatest movie ever made.

Stupid stunts that defy rational belief, wasted casting that infuriates and annoys, and more skin than any woman with a brain, agent and reputation should display on screen.

[A]s with the first film, it’s a complete goof, meant to be enjoyed with a large popcorn and lots of air conditioning.

Plays more like a video game -- with a prepubescent boy, suffering from Twinkie syndrome, at the controls.
