Our
'freshly popped' movie this week is Charlie's Angels (a.k.a. 3 More Girls I
Can't Get) starring Drew "You should see Tom Green naked" Barrymore
as Dylan, Cameron "more makeup! more makeup now!!" Diaz as Natalie,
and Lucy "rock my world!" Liu as Alex. Rosie O' Donnell makes a
special appearance as the fourth angel, Poundcake, but is quickly killed within
the first 15 seconds of the movie when she refused to leggo her Eggo and was
shot in the head by one of her adopted children. Also in this wonderful work of
art is Bill Murray as Bosley and Crispin Glover as some
assassain...asasssin...assasssaaene... hell with it, he plays a killer. Now
that the credits are out of the bag and everybody's all warmed up, let's
begin!!!
Charlie's
Angels the movie is based off of the really tacky 70's TV show Charlie's Angels
about three crimefighting girls who go out and stop whatever may threaten our
national security. Ok, so it was mostly Farrah running around with hardly any
clothes on, but when you're ten years old, do you really need any explanation
as to what it's about? The movie picks up where the TV show left off, with Lucy
Liu lying naked in her bed while Drew is pouring chocolate all over her body
and Cameron is busy licking it off. What do you mean, that's not how the movie
started?? Oh sorry, my porno is still running in my VCR as I'm writing this!
Ok, here we go. Bill Murray plays Bosley, a medium between Charlie who is never
seen, and the Angels, three women who were recruited by Charlie to fight crime
and wear tight dresses. Bill Murray makes sure the girls have the proper
'support' (especially Cameron) as they carry out their assignments. Did I
mention that these women fight crime already? The plot of the movie is this:
The Angels are asked to help retrieve a rich software owner who was kidnapped
by Tim Curry who is trying to steal some voice recognition software that he
could use off of satellites or something like that. I don't know, the plot was
so damn stupid I wasn't really paying attention. Charlie's Angels uses a lot of
dim witted dialogue and Matrix-type martial arts moves to spice up the fight
sequences. The special effects aren't anything to write home about, but the way
they managed to fit Drew Barrymore's big ass into tight leather pants was the
greatest special effect in movie history.
So
here's what I liked and didn't like about it. I liked the fact that they took none
of this material seriously. From the opening minute to the very end you know
that they had too much fun filming this and got paid way too much money for
doing it. This movie is actually a lot of fun to watch for its entire ninety
minutes which really surprised me. They had some really typical jokes that most
of the audience laughed at because most people are really trained chimps but
that's ok, I'm still surprised most people can even start their cars. The
action is pretty consistent throughout and there really aren't any dull spots
at all. Bill Murray was typical Bill Murray, but the surprise for me was
Crispin Glover who's an awesome actor and he shows it again in his role even
though he has no lines and just smokes cigarettes as he's trying to kill the
angels. So what did I not like about it? Well for starters the continuous
cleavage and close up butt shots with the women all dressed in tight outfits.
Do I really need to see this kind of sex splattered the big screen? Do I need
to see Lucy Lui bent over in tight black leather, or Drew Barrymore try to not
look like Cindy Brady, or Cameron Diaz smile and whip her hair every ten
seconds as her cleavage is shown? You damn skippy I do!!!! But the women in the
audience seemed to enjoy it all as much as the guys, so everyone wins! It was
weird though, when I left the theater, my pants zipper was
broken......Hmmmm.....
To
tell you the truth I'm kind of surprised I enjoyed it as much as I did. There
are no slow spots, the actors seem to be having a blast, the audience got
caught up in the action and humor, and Lucy Lui looked hot as hell. It wasn't
necessarily a great movie as far as the plot but it was a fun movie and that's
what going to the theater is supposed to be about, having fun. Especially when
you down a six-pack of Mickey's Malt Liquor before you go!
