San Francisco Examiner Wesley Morris
So phenomenal that Bill Murray can't even steal it. And he tries. So excellent that Murray's MTV progeny Tom Green can't sink it.
Slate David Edelstein
A charming, hyper-energetic, and wittily self-aware action comedy about gorgeous girls.
Read Full Review >Rolling Stone Peter Travers
These kickass Barbies bring heart to a machine tooled genre.
New York Post Jonathan Foreman
The film's tongue is so firmly in cheek that, without being a spoof like "Dragnet" or "The Brady Bunch Movie," it has more in common with the "Austin Powers" films.
Boston Globe Jay Carr
A babe-athon, pure and simple.
Baltimore Sun Cheryl Lu-Lien Tan
Irresistible, campy fun.
Entertainment Weekly Owen Gleiberman
Charlie's Angels is finally Cameron Diaz's movie. Her Natalie has a heart as insecure as her body is smokin'.
Read Full Review >Film.com Robert Horton
Something rare: a mess of a movie that is somehow infectious, and infectious not despite the mess, but because of it.
Read Full Review >Salon.com Stephanie Zacharek
Who cares about the fate of privacy, of all things, when you can watch three sexy babes stamp out crime in zip-off suits and high-heeled boots?
Read Full Review >Portland Oregonian Kim Morgan
A big, loud, sometimes clever, often dumb behemoth of a movie.
Miami Herald Rene Rodriguez
The most charming bad movie ever spun off a hit TV show.
USA Today Mike Clark
It's to these Angels' credit that they, like the movie, are at least intermittent fun.
Read Full Review >Variety Todd McCarthy
This entertaining confection possesses the substance of the TV show, the pacing of a Hong Kong actioner and the production values of a James Bond thriller.
Read Full Review >The New York Times Dana Stevens
It never pretends that it's anything more than trashy, cheesy fun. But even trash -- especially trash this expensive -- should at least be well made. Sure, it's easy on the eyes, but would a little brains be too much to ask?
Read Full Review >Charlotte Observer Lawrence Toppman
The dialogue includes double entendres that are rather clever, if you're mentally at the age of 11.
Read Full Review >Mr. Showbiz Kevin Maynard
The movie's still thinner than a supermodel's waist. It's not just that the results are less than heavenly; it's that we don't know what the hell they are.
Time Richard Schickel
The best you can say for this version of Charlie's Angels is that it retains a sort of chipper, eerie good nature as it wastes the studio's money and our time.
Film.com Moira Macdonald
While it's not exactly the complete bomb that some were predicting, Charlie's Angels is ultimately just an amiable mess.
Read Full Review >Philadelphia Inquirer Carrie Rickey
What's on screen is a hash, though it may very well be the most comprehensive catalog of male erotic fantasies in one single film.
Christian Science Monitor David Sterritt
Too bad the action scenes rarely rise above standard kung-fu comedy, diluting the film's otherwise considerable entertainment value.
Read Full Review >Los Angeles Times Kenneth Turan
A potato chip of a movie. Tasty and lightweight, it's fine for a cinematic snack, if that's what you're looking for. Making it an entire meal, however, really isn't advisable.
Read Full Review >Village Voice J. Hoberman
The cheesy disco action scenes are topped only by the movie's ripe double entendres and continual cheesecake.
Read Full Review >Seattle Post-Intelligencer Sean Axmaker
At its best, it is self-effacing fun.But the cartoonish approach takes its toll: The random twists and contrived showdowns devolve into just so much abstract business, too silly to take seriously and too unmotivated to make sense.
Read Full Review >Chicago Reader Jonathan Rosenbaum
The first third or so offers all the dominatrix fantasies one might wish for, but then fantasy gives way to the aggressiveness of the special effects and optical effects.
Read Full Review >TV Guide Maitland McDonagh
So inconsequential that it starts evaporating from memory the minute it's over.
Read Full Review >Dallas Observer Robert Wilonsky
It tries to be both camp and action film--send-up and kick-ass. But it delivers so little on both fronts.
Read Full Review >Washington Post Rita Kempley
A tarted-up but tedious reprise of the '70s TV series.
Read Full Review >LA Weekly Manohla Dargis
Of course, it's terrible -- but did it have to be this bad?
Read Full Review >Chicago Tribune Michael Wilmington
It's hard to believe how bad this movie is.
Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert
It's a movie without a brain. Charlie's Angels is like the trailer for a video game movie, lacking only the video game, and the movie.

[Anonymous] gave it a7:
Over the top camp you can go with or completely resist. The final action sequences against the villains are intense enough to rival the matrix, though.
ESS E. gave it a 10:
Great movie, but its targeted more toward teenage girls than anyone else.
Pat C. gave it a 2:
True to the TV series - not one instant of substance. Murray demonstrates he's not a one-dimensional actor, but that's merely a footnote in a one-dimensional film.
t t gave it a 10:
Awesome sh*t biatch!
Scott L. gave it an 8:
You people are idiots, this movie was meant to be a mindess fun. It has comedy, hot chicks, and hot chicks kicking some ass.
Matt P. gave it a 3:
Rubbish from start to finish, I had to suffer this round a friends house who when not watching movies flicks between MTV base and Hits:UK, which sayes it all.
Avery A. gave it a 3:
It sucked!!!!!! You put shame to the televison series!
