Fun, fun, fun. Anyone who bags this film out without seeing it is afraid of fun. I can't even remember being all that impressed with the first film, but this one just picked me up and twirled me around from beginning to end. All with a goofy grin on it's face.
Right from the James Bond-style opening, it's clear this film wants nothing more than to make you smile. It's so cheesy, and funny, and sexy, and jumping around-y... it's just awesome. It never takes itself seriously, and it never gets dull. There's more than a few surprising cameos, a suitably large amount of female bottoms in close-up, film homage/send-ups, and plenty of over-the-top action sequences to keep even the most dull-witted individual interested. At times it even seems slightly perverse (EG. Diaz sneaking into the male toilets for 'Number ones'), but it's all so tongue-in-cheek that you can't help but smile.
Yes, I had a grin from ear-to-ear throughout, overwhelmingly so in some sequences, so I'm not about to fault this film on anything. Even Demi Moore didn't seem that annoying (probably because they keep her in the background for a lot of the move) and I wasn't even that annoyed that Bernie Mac had replaced Bill Murray, in fact, I think Bernie Mac fits in better. 'Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle' is just so over-the-top, so concerned with having fun, that there's no reason to fault it on anything else, because it succeeds admirably in providing some great eye candy and cheesy all-action entertainment.
HIGHLIGHTS: Even Crispin Glover returns as 'the Thin Man' from the first film. He doesn't really do much, but his hair fetish is still funny in a 'isn't that fucked up?' kind of way.
