Charlies Angels is an action/comedy film based on the 1970s television series Charlies Angels. The film was directed by McG & starred Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore, Lucy Liu, Bill Murray & Sam Rockwell. John Forsythe returned as Charlie. Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore & Lucy Liu all went through a strenuous training regime to prepare for their roles. They even worked with a professional kung fu master. Full Throttle, with Bernie Mac & Demi Moore. The angels have been hired by a Bill Gates -type software genius to hack into a rivals computer system, ostensibly to locate stolen software. It is revealed, however, that their client is in fact the enemy & is using the angels to gain access to his rivals system. It turns out his father was a Green Beret who served with none other than the angels boss Charles Townsend & he blames his fathers death on Charlie. He plans to use a combination of his & his rivals technology to trace Charlies location via satellite & then kill him. Naturally the angels thwart this plan. Posters Of Charlies Angels

Happily Charlies Angels is a surprisingly successful TV-into-movie update of the seminal 1970s jiggle show. Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore & Lucy Liu star as the hair-tossing, fashion-setting, kung-fu fighting trio employed by the mysterious Charlie . When a high-tech programmer is kidnapped, the angels seek out the suspects, with the daffy Bosley in tow. A happy, cornball popcorn flick, Charlies Angels is played for laughs with plenty of ribbing references to the old TV show as well as modern caper films like Mission: Impossible. McG, a music video director making his feature film debut , infuses the film with plenty of Matrix-style combat pyrotechnics, & the result is the first successful all-American Hong Kong-style action flick. Plenty of movies boast a New Age feminism that has their stars touting their sexuality while being their own women, but unlike something as obnoxious as Coyote Ugly, Angels succeeds with a positive spin on Girl Power for the new millennium . From the send-up of the TV shows credit sequence to the outtakes over the end credits, Charlies Angels is a delight.

Cameron Michelle Diaz is an American film actress. Diaz was born & raised in San Diego, California. Her father is from Cuba. After pursuing a modelling career, she was cast in the commercially successful 1994 Jim Carrey film The Mask. Her role was minimal & essentially embodied the stereotypical pretty blonde girl that is oft to be found in cinema. However, she subsequently took roles in films with more substantial subject matter such as Feeling Minnesota. She stood out as a perfect fiancee in the romantic comedy My Best Friends Wedding & many consider her role in the crude comedy Theres Something About Mary to be her real break-through performance. Diaz then veered away from mainstream cinema into independent film with the quirky Being John Malkovich & Oliver Stone took risks when he gave her a role in Any Given Sunday. Both films enjoyed critical & commercial success & critics heralded Diazs performances. Diaz is widely considered to be an extremely attractive woman & as such has been listed in sexiest & most beautiful lists in various periodicals including FHM & People. Posters Of Cameron Diaz

Drew Blythe Barrymore is an American film & television actress & producer. She is the granddaughter of stage actor John Barrymore & the great-niece of Lionel Barrymore & Ethel Barrymore. Her father, John Drew Barrymore & half-brother, John Blyth, are also actors. Drew was the maiden name of her great-grandmother, Georgiana; Blythe was the original surname of the dynasty founded by her great-grandfather, Maurice. Barrymores career began at the age of 11 months, when she appeared in a dog food commercial. When she was bitten by her canine co-star, the producers feared litigation, though Barrymore merely laughed the incident off. She shot to fame as a child actor when she co-starred in the 1982 Steven Spielberg film E,T. At the age of 7, on November 20, 1982, Barrymore became the youngest ever guest host of the weekly TV program Saturday Night Live, after Andy Kaufman was voted off the show.
