Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle probably wins over on the
humour, although Gimli the Dwarf's four or so one-liners probably
get more laughs than all of Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle's
obvious efforts.
So what is good about the sequel to Charlie's Angels?
Well it doesn't go for over three hours, the stunt work is
good (although it is overused and is so obviously blue-screened/computer
generated or wirework it loses any power it may have had)
and there is a rather nice cameo from John Cleese and one
from original TV angel Jaclyn Smith (who still looks stunning).
And, there is Demi Moore as a fallen angel called Madison
Lee.
Not only does she act rings around everyone else in the movie,
she looks much better as well.
The main gals Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore and Lucy Liu (Natalie,
Dylan and Alex) camp it up all over the place but most of
their efforts are lost in a lack of subtlety.
The bad guy of the movie is a revenge-seeking Irishman called
Seamus O'Grady (Justin Theroux) who has just about the worst
irish accent I've ever heard.
I don't think he knew which side of the North-South divide
he was on.
Anyway, that's the opinion of a 40-something-year-old chap.
Young teens will probably love Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle.
Just don't expect to sit down with them and watch it without
shaking your head and looking at your watch.
