Why in the name of God and everything holy would I
want to go see this, you ask? Its a movie about three
scantily clad chicks that dance around, look pretty
and kick butt. Why on earth would that interest me if
Im not a guy or a lesbian? Because it looked fun and
campy from the commercials.
And indeed, it was fun and
very, very campy. I think perhaps that they wrote down
all the costumes they wanted to put everyone in and
then wrote their story to suit the costuming. Demi
Moore plotting evilly and sauntering around her
apartment/hotel room/plotting room in nothing but red
lingerie and a floor length fur coat made me giggle
beyond all reasonable comprehension.
Is this great cinema? Hardly. Is it fun? You betcha. Im still
trying to figure out how on this earth Im supposed to
buy that John Cleese is Lucy Lius father. But thats
okay because John Cleese is funny in it. Ive never
understood why Drew Barrymore was supposed to be hot.
She actually looks really good in this movie, so I
suppose I can understand. The make-up and costuming
in this movie were outrageous and flamboyant, which if
anyone knows me, is a great asset in a movie. I was
very impressed.
I expected something really stupid.
Instead, I got something that was mindlessly
entertaining. So, if youre looking for something
light, fluffy and visually attractive, go check out
"Charlies Angels: Full Throttle."
