A big thanks to my lil' sister Maria who shouted me out on my birthday to watch a new 'chick-flick' i.e. the latest 'Charlie's Angels' movie which was a little different from the storylines of former Charlie's Angels movies.
What's so interesting is that in having been brought up watching the original Charlie's Angels back when they first started and the various 'Angels' who were taken away with new ones added during the various seasons in the 1970s and 1980s, the storylines were more about solving crimes with their womanly charms and intellect than it was about fighting criminals.
And then watching the remake and the redevelopment of the characters with Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore and Lucy Liu, it was very interesting to watch the change in how the characters solved cases and used deadly force with lots of fight scenes and developed character backstories.
This new film I found deviated somewhat from Charlie's Angels storylines with Bosley's character changing and with few references to the former Charlie's Angels story. I'm not sure that it was as successful as the former but it was different.
I'm not sure that I could recommend it as it was okay, but for those who have watched the earlier versions of Charlie's Angels, they may be in for a bit of disappointment but still an interesting chick flick to watch...
