I watched Charlie’s Angels. It was ok. Not bad, not great. Too many tonal shifts — it shifts more than an F1 driver at the 1969 24 Hours of Le Mans. It had no consistency at all in approach or feel. It was like it was directed by two very different people. This is often a sign of studio interference, but who knows what was the case here.
The best line, though, was by Kristen Stewart as Sabina.
Sabina: There was a gunfight at my wedding.
Jane: Wait, you’re married?
Sabina: No. I was the better shot.
The movie is some weird mix of the Nathan Lane and Robin Williams version of La Cage Aux Folles and 1960s James Bond. I think that could work, but in this case it just did not. That said, there were a few really great and funny scenes in the movie.
The most unrealistic part of the film was how the MIT grad who had never experienced real violence is mostly unaffected by it. People who’ve not been exposed to that side of life don’t just adapt so readily.
Don’t recommend it, unless someone makes a highlight reel of the 15 good minutes for you.
