Default Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle

I feel embarrassed to admit this but I kind of enjoy it. It's non-stop over the top self-indulgence, but at least it's self-aware non-stop over the top self indulgence. I don't see it as being any different as enjoying something such as Crank or Shoot 'Em Up. Justin Theroux is pretty awesome in this, and Glover is more of the same from the first film.

I feel like I'm revealing something really dirty about myself right now.

I have this on DVD and I'm not afraid to admit it. It's a fun movie.

It's also hard to hate a movie that is pretty much about Cameron Diaz's ass.

I own the DVD too...actually the Demi Moore stuff to me is the most annoying part. I can even deal with the overly Irish punk. My wife and I started pronouncing "pain" as "pay-yen" after seeing this movie.

No kidding. This was Transformers 2-level bad before there was such a benchmark. The only difference is that Angels had more hot chicks in it.

Hey, this was all Demi Moore's MAJOR COMEBACK after all!

This movie is enjoyable just for the Theroux's Cape Fear spoof, and a couple suprisingly brutal bits they threw back into the unrated version (Barrymore gushing blood out the mouth, pulling shards of glass out of their flesh after the car crash, the extended 'deaths' of Thin Man and Theroux)

I will readily admit that I liked the first one, but this save for a couple of scenes was shit. Plus it marks the time I started to find Diaz annoying rather than hot.

That didnt happen for you sometime around Gangs of New York like it did for me?

Really loved this when I saw it in the theater. Subsequent viewings have revealed that that brisk summer's day in the theater, I was victim of some specie of brain worm heretofore undiscovered by medical science.

Drew Barrymore and Crispin Glover are bright spots, though.

The only time I ever thought Diaz was hot was in The Mask.

I'm pretty sure that's a different actress with the same name.

It has to be.

I liked both, I suppose.

I'll get them again when they come out on Blu. The DVD of this one is overstuffed with both the extras and the film, so it looks awful.

QFT. She peaked on her first movie.

She wasn't as thin then. And she had a push-up bra(and outfits) that did wonders.

I like Diaz, but she's rarely as hot as people make her out to be. The flashbacks in There's Something About Mary are good too.
