User Review
High-spirited, infectious ridiculousness
Rating: 6/10
Head-spinning collage of technically marvelous effects in theatrical
remake of cult late-'70s TV series. Drew Barrymore, Cameron Diaz and
Lucy Lui are attractive, funny, resourceful, sexy and--most importantly
(and surprisingly) quite convincing as super-detectives. Their case
(involving rival software companies, a kidnapping, and the planned
assassination of boss Charlie) doesn't make a whole lot of sense, and
Bill Murray is out-of-it as confidante Bosley, but director McG's
modern-comic action is so lightning-fast and silky smooth you may be
having too much fun to notice. Some of the satire is actually rather
smart, and the girls are game for just about anything. **1/2 from ****
