Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle

Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle is a high-spirited action comedy with the gorgeous trio Natalie, Dylan and Alex. This time it is the angels' job to make sure that a witness protection programme does not fall into the wrong hands. So they also have to find out who they are up against, for someone is trying hard to get hold of the secret information. What Alex and Natalie do not know is that Dylan has a special interest in catching the villains.

The party begins in Mongolia with a terrific opening scene, but it does not end there. Like a James Bond film, the angels get around, and they appear in all manner of disguises. There is no shortage of wild effects and spectacular fight scenes either. In true postmodernist style the film also teems with references to other films. The film's highlight, however, is its humour. It simply pokes fun at the prevailing female stereotypes, and in that respect Cameron Diaz in particular shines and charms.

As undemanding entertainment goes, "Charlie's Angels 2" definitely belongs in the upper half.
