Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle

Two and a half stars. Almost okay, but too flawed to make the grade.

This is bubblegum music video filmmaking taken to extremes. It consists of a series of 3-5 minute chunks, each containing a snippet of sassy dialogue, at least one sexy pose, an action sequence, and a theme tune. It lives up to the "Full Throttle" title by never slowing down from the initial hyperactive rescue scene. There is a plot, but it's secondary to looking good. It's vacuous, mindless, but also kinda fun. Just for goodness' sake don't go in looking for anything other than mindless entertainment.
