Charlie's Angels
Rent & Buy
The captivating crime-fighting trio who are masters of disguise, espionage and martial arts are back! When a devious mastermind embroils them in a plot to destroy individual privacy, the Angels, aided by their loyal sidekick Bosley, set out to bring down the bad guys. But when a terrible secret is revealed, it makes the Angels targets for assassination.
What critics thought
Critics were sharply divided on this glossy TV-to-film adaptation: some found its self-aware silliness and kinetic energy genuinely fun, while others considered it an incoherent, brain-free spectacle that even undermined the original show. The performances — Cameron Diaz especially — drew warmer notices than the film itself, and most agreed McG's direction was closer to music video than cinema.
“a charming, hyper-energetic, and wittily self-aware action comedy about gorgeous girls”
David Edelstein·Slate
“Rarely has a performer conveyed the impression of being so happy to be in a particular movie.”
Todd McCarthy·Variety
“a movie without a brain. Charlie's Angels is like the trailer for a video game movie, lacking only the video game, and the movie”
Roger Ebert·Chicago Sun-Times
“Of course, it's terrible – but did it have to be this bad?”
