'Charlie's Angels'. Those two words will register with anyone who grew up in the 70's, but the movie version is a treat, a pure popcorn movie that never slows down.

Charlie's Angels.. The plot is utterly disposable, but that's part of the charm: You have the feeling Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore, and Lucy Liu probably get more mileage out of an enterprise like this than a 'serious' movie. The film is a superb mix of three factors: 1. The almost-unbearable HOT-ness of the three lead actresses. 2. Adrenaline-pumping action scenes. and 3. Comedy.

The action is cleverly staged by director McG, who is a veteran of music videos. Unlike most of the quick-cutting maniacs that have come out of the world of MTV, McG lets us *see* the action and he keeps wild cutting, noise, and incoherent violence to a bare minimum.

All the actors perform well: You can't think of anyone else other than Cameron Diaz, Liu, or Barrymore for the Angels, Sam Rockwell is good, Kelly Lynch is a (female dog) on wheels (she and Diaz have a terrific fight scene late in the film), Bill Murray is Bosley, Crispin Glover is delightfully creepy as 'The Thin Man', and the invaluable Tim Curry is another villain (seeing him and Murray duke it out in sumo suits is hilarious).

All things considered, 'Charlie's Angels' is a terrific ride that will leave you grinning.
