Cameron-Diaz Movie Reviews

WHY YOU SO LIKE DAT?

This is a great movie - amongst my favourites. I wore out the first tape I bought so I had to buy it again and I'm eagerly awaiting it's release on DVD.

There IS a plot. It's a black COMEDY. I can see the comic elements in it. The two brother's fighting. It's meant to be taken with a pinch of salt.

I liked the portayal of the way of life of these folks in Minnesota. The dagginess of their existence. One of my favourite bits is at the weeding when the groom is trying to kiss the bride and she doesn't wanna know - classic!

And of course - I love Keanu in this film! What a babe. He has great comic timing (you should do more comedy dude!) and his exudes innocence, yet is incredible sexy at the same time(COOL)

Yes I have to agree with the viewer from Glendale he looks yummy with his fluffy hair and those black pants (stop drooling).

Vincent D'Onofrio is a class act. He does very good charater acting. Cameron Diaz was excellent as well.

So, the script wasn't all that - but they done a great job of it.

IT'S A GOOD FILM - BUY IT!

First of all, the whole film is a parody. Every time the film employs cheesy '70s-esque montage sequences, every time the camera goes wicked slow when the girls toss their hair, and every time an action scene comes up (which takes things from films like The Matrix, Mission: Impossible, and True Lies), it's all a parody. In that sense, this is a funny movie. It has great self-awareness, and doesn't mind shamelessly exploiting its three central stars (Drew Barrymore, Cameron Diaz, Lucy Liu) in every way possible. And Bill Murray, as always, is funny and goofy as Bosley.

However, the humor does get annoying sometimes. How many times do we have to see the same old girly-giggle jokes, like when Cameron Diaz is interrupted in a fight by a call from her boyfriend? Even if things like that are still meant as spoof, they aren't funny.

As for the story, I'll only mention it in passing, because it's not the focus of the film and it's quite bad anyway. The plot overall seems taken from a bad Bond film: secret agents get assigned top-secret mission vital to ensuring the safety of the world, and then the "least likely" person turns out to be the antagonist (or, as Barrymore's angel once exclaims, "he's the bad guy!"). There are subplots involving the three angels falling in love, which seem pointless to the film and only provide some of the stupid girly humor I just mentioned above.

Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore, and Lucy Liu are fine. As far as acting goes, there's nothing good, but as far as monopolizing on male fantasy, they're skillful. Too bad some people will only see this film for that reason alone, because it is those people that this film makes fun of the most. (Still, I suppose it's required of me to comment on which Angel is my favorite. Well, as far as I'm concerned, Drew Barrymore. There you go.)

I must mention a very pleasant surprise delight in this film: Crispin Glover, aka Mr. McFly from the Back to the Future series. He is simply awesome in this film. He doesn't speak a word, but he has a presence about him that electrifies the screen when he's on. It's partly comedic, and partly serious. The way he manages to look pathetic and threatening at the same time, how he brings a weird and quirky element to his character is great. He looks in command and at the same time paranoid of everything. He's my favorite performance in this film along with Murray.

The action is very good, obviously the best part of the film: zany flips, kicks, chases, and explosions all covered by the interesting, if ripped-off, cinematography. Of course, the martial arts scenes are the best. I have to say that it is a compliment both to this film and, even more so, the film it lifts this from (The Matrix) that the action here, even though meant as mere parody, still remains quite entertaining and visually intense. You can thank the source film for that. If you like the action here, and I don't see why you wouldn't, and if you haven't seen The Matrix, you should. You'll be blown away. But I digress.

In closing, the problem with films like Charlie's Angels (besides awful plot) is that, even though the action is fun, none of it is its own. The action can be good, but it can never be called great, simply because it's not original. It's the tragic flaw. But that doesn't prevent the film from being fun in and of itself. It's a good time.

I'm surprised that this film did not win one Academy Award nomination because it certainly deserved to be considered. Not only did the story keep me glued to the screen for its full 157 minutes, but all the performances were excellent.

Al Pacino, as the coach, was outstanding. At 60 years old his face has the creases which add expression and depth to his performance, making me feel his every emotion. Jamie Fox, cast as the new young overnight sensation has a role that demands he first be unsure and vulnerable, then cocky and insufferable, then political and, finally, repentant. That's a tall order for a actor and he does it masterfully.

The rest of the cast is full of star power. Cameron Diaz is the young woman who has inherited the team from her father. Ann Margaret is her alcoholic mother. Dennis Quaid is an injured quarterback, LJ Cool is a football player, James Woods is the unscrupulous doctor, and even Charlton Heston plays a cameo role as the Commissioner. And, of course, there are some real players who round out this cast.

One of the criticisms of the film is that the sports action was difficult to follow because of the cinematographic effects using slow motion spinning of the football or the silhouettes of the men postured as if on a battlefield. But this not a football game to watch on TV. This is a larger-than-life mythic tale of modern-day gladiators who push themselves past the line of good sense for fame, fortune, money and glory and the corporate interests and media hype that keep it all together.

I loved this video completely and give it a high recommendation. You don't have to be a football fan to enjoy it.

Yes, the movie is 157 minutes long, but let me tell you, it's never boring. I disagree with many here in that I liked that visuals and film style that Oliver Stone used. I loved the little things he puts in a scene, especially the final play: when Beamen is looking into the endzone and you see lightning and an old player diving into the endzone, things like that. Of course, the performances are incredible, and it's a huge cast. Look for special cameos from NFL players and coaches, and of course Charlton Heston as the Commissioner.

I also like how the film starts out with a game, getting you into the action quickly. And then of course there's the length of the games. It's not just a two minute highlight, well except for the Monsoon Bowl. The first game last 20 minutes and the last is somewhere between 30 and 40. The pregame and halftime speeches are well written too.

In all, it has your basic, not too groundbreaking script, but a great cast, great visuals and sound, and exciting football sequences (the best I've ever seen). I recommend this one!

I would love to explain the plot, but it was so overshadowed it didn't seem to matter. The action sequences were lame, boring and predictable. They did the same flips, turns and giggles they did in the first film. The only difference was that that film had a decent plot and was entertaining. Full Throttle is a full disappointment to the T. It was obvious that the directors and writers ran out of anything original. They relied on half-naked women, a desperate Demi Moore and an ignorant black character played by Bernie Mac who wasn't shown but a few times in the film.

Unless you're a teenage boy with raging hormones, don't waste your time with this. Fans of the first one will be terribly dissapointed in this mess of a sequel. The filmmakers should have quit while they were ahead. I just hope there is not going to be another one. Full Throttle sort of bombed at the box office ( proving that you need more than trashy-dressed women to make a bad movie work ). Hopefully the bombing will keep them from making a third sequel. We can only pray! This film is just plain insulting to women and was obviously made for a cheap buck. I feel sorry for all the actors because they deserved a better film follow-up to the 2000 hit. I mostly feel sorry for Demi Moore. This horrid film was supposed to be her comeback role. Well, she didn't quite make it.

If the angels were pitched against James Bond, 007 would be beaten - badly. These girls kick butt. The film has a lot to offer - men see sexy women wearing revealing clothes, while driving incredible cars and using secret agent gadgets. Women see three best friends who are strong, powerful, multi-talented and intelligent.

There is no end to the amount of talent these girls possess. They can ride or drive just about any vehicle ever created, they are fluent in many languages, they are more limber than most house cats, they are fearless and they work great under pressure.

Bernie Mac is a welcome addition to the team. He can be funny just by breathing - and he has a few scenes where he is able to showcase his talent.

The hype over Demi Moore's appearance in the film isn't very over-rated. She must do Pilates 2 hours a day, every day of her life... she really looks like she was chiseled out of marble. There has been some criticism about her acting, which I think is unfounded. The whole story is very tongue-in-cheek... at no time are you really worried that someone is going to die and at no time is the viewer overly moved by even the tender scenes. Demi Moore's character wasn't fully developed enough for her to really build on. You learn that she is a loner and a troubled soul, but you are never told what exactly made her that way.

The strength of this movie is in the non-stop action and the humor and friendship of the 3 angels. The rest of the movie is just fluff. It is obvious that Lucy, Drew and Cameron really are close friends - there is no way to fake that type of rapport. Theater goers should stay through the entire credits to the end to see out-takes and funny moments experienced by the actors.

After the action is over and the lights come on, you begin to realize what a stupid premise the entire film revolves around. The situation that begins at the beginning of the film and is (of course) resolved in the end, is just ridiculous - but does anyone go to see a Charlie's Angels movie expecting great intellectual stimulation?

Fast cars, explosions, motorcycles, acrobatics and major butt-kicking abound in this film - the opening action scene is like no other action scene anyone has ever seen - perposterous, but inventive enought to make you think, "wow!"

In our troubled world, we all need a little escape once in a while and despite the violence (gun play, butt kicking, etc.), a viewer really can escape while watching this film. It's highly enjoyable, but probably not a film most would want to see over and over again.
