    Charlie's Angels is finally Cameron Diaz's movie. Her Natalie has a heart as insecure as her body is smokin'. Read full review

    It's to these Angels' credit that they, like the movie, are at least intermittent fun. Read full review

    This entertaining confection possesses the substance of the TV show, the pacing of a Hong Kong actioner and the production values of a James Bond thriller. Read full review

    A potato chip of a movie. Tasty and lightweight, it's fine for a cinematic snack, if that's what you're looking for. Making it an entire meal, however, really isn't advisable. Read full review

    The New York Times | Dana Stevens

    It never pretends that it's anything more than trashy, cheesy fun. But even trash -- especially trash this expensive -- should at least be well made. Sure, it's easy on the eyes, but would a little brains be too much to ask? Read full review

    Chicago Sun-Times | Roger Ebert

    It's a movie without a brain. Charlie's Angels is like the trailer for a video game movie, lacking only the video game, and the movie. Read full review

Information for Parents
Common Sense Media says Iffy for 12+ Edgy girl power fun. You go, girls!
What Parents Need to Know Parents need to know that in addition to a lot of "action-style" violence (very little blood), the movie has drinking, smoking, and some profanity and innuendo. One of the angels is shown waking up after a one-night-stand, clearly intending never to see the guy again. She later has a sexual encounter that turns out to have been a mistake.
  • Families can talk about how Dylan's absent father affected her life, especially her decision to work for a man who would never meet her. Knox, too, was affected by an absent father. Why don't the Angels want the men in their lives to know what they do? What would happen if they told them? Even movies as essentially silly as this one can also provide good lessons in problem-solving and ethics. How do they break down the problem of getting access to the GPS software into solvable pieces? Why won't the angels give Knox access to the GPS software?
The good stuff
  • rolemodels true2 Positive role models: Strong female characters (though they get a bit giddy around boyfriends).
What to watch for
  • violence false3 Violence: Lots of peril and action-style fighting (no blood); the angels do not use guns.

  • language false3 Language: Brief bad language.
  • consumerism false0 Consumerism: Not an issue
  • drugsalcoholtobacco false3 Drinking, drugs and smoking: Drinking and smoking, brief comic inebriation.
