Natalie (Cameron Diaz) is the smart but silly one, Dylan (Drew Barrymore) is the tough but fun-loving one, and Alex (Lucy Liu) is the classy but hard-as-nails one, and they work for a man named Charlie (voice of John Forsythe), who never meets his employees face to face. Along with their helper Bosley (Bill Murray), the Angels are sent into action when electronics genius Eric Knox (Sam Rockwell) is kidnapped, with the nefarious Roger Corwin (Tim Curry) as the prime suspect. But they soon learn even bigger danger is afoot -- the kidnappers have gotten their hands on Knox's latest invention, a system that can monitor voice communication from anywhere in the world, virtually ending the notion of private conversation. Charlie's Angels also stars Crispin Glover, Luke Wilson, Kelly Lynch, and Tom Green. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Critic Reviews
-
Nigel Floyd, Time Out
This is nothing but trailer moments. Ex-pop video director McG couldn't organise a pillow fight in a bedding factory.
-
David Edelstein, Slate
Charlie's Angels is like a Hong Kong flick but without the bogus spirituality and excruciating schlock-pop ballads.
-
Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail
A speedy, ask-no-questions pop contrivance that, as long as it keeps sparkling and whirling, continually amuses.
-
Peter Rainer, New York Magazine
The cast members seem to be having a high old time, and with sharper dialogue, an even higher time might have been had by all.
-
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
These kickass Barbies bring heart to a machine-tooled genre.
