CHARLIE'S ANGELS: FULL THROTTLE reunites Drew Barrymore, Cameron Diaz, and Lucy Liu as they once again wage battle against some formidable opponents. This time around the three angels are on a mission to track down two stolen rings that contain encrypted information relating to the Witness Protection Program. Naturally the girls kick some serious butt, often facing some familiar villains in the shape of a returning Crispin Glover (as the Thin Man) and Justin Theroux (as Seamus O'Grady), a former beau of Barrymore's character. To further spice things up, there is an ex-angel, played by a shapely Demi Moore, who is rather keen on getting her hands on the rings, all adding up to lots of thrills and spills for the girls.
Director McG returns from the original movie, this time upping the action ante with a series of spectacular stunts and CGI-assisted tricks. Employing a neverending array of celebrity cameo appearances, McG builds on the momentum of the previous movie and neatly balances the combination of comedy set pieces and action sequences. Cast and crew keep their tongues planted firmly in their cheeks throughout, leading to a not-too-serious romp that is a feast for the eyes.

Who would have thought that director McG could outdo himself in the vapid stakes with the sequel to 2000's vacuous Charlie's Angels? Well, give that man a prize, because despite a higher budget here, he's managed to make the original look like an Oscar winner. More financial flash simply equals more celluloid trash, and no amount of Matrix-style special effects, irritating cameos and tedious skits can disguise that fact. Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore and Lucy Liu are all very cute as they reprise their special agent roles — this time hunting two stolen rings encrypted with the true identities of incognito federal witnesses — but their endless costume changes and innuendo-riddled dialogue need a plot to support them. It's only fallen Angel Demi Moore and returning villain Crispin Glover who have any genuine screen presence. Unfortunately, their inadequately scripted roles are entirely ineffective in a picture obsessed with style over content.
"...The stars are on top, straddling and driving the movie's actions chassis....Diaz, Barrymore, and Liu are never more triumphantly feminine than when they're trumping men at their own kick-butt game..."
A series of murders and a stolen database of witness protection profiles reunites Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore and Luy Liu. The captivating trio once again demonstrates their more than apt martial arts and talent for disguise. They cross paths with a former 'angel' gone bad(Demi Moore). Bernie Mac plays Jimmy Bosley and provides some comic relief.
There is an all-star lineup in support:Crispin Glover, Robert Patrick, Luke Wilson and Matt LeBlanc. Watch for the cameo by Bruce Willis. Yes, John Forsythe is still the voice of 'Charlie'. This story of crime fighting is contrived and a bit silly: but the action provides first class escape. Your mission was well done, thanks again ANGELS!

Shia Labeouf spied on Hollywood beauties Cameron Diaz and Lucy Liu during the filming of Charlie'S Angels: Full Throttle - because his trailer was directly opposite the girls' dressing rooms. The Transformers star had a minor role in the 2003 film, and was granted his own relaxation area during the shoot. The 22-year-old actor was delighted - as his room overlooked Diaz and Liu's private quarters, and he set about "peeping" through the window. He says, "My trailer was set up so Cameron Diaz...
