Review Summary and Plot Commentary about Charlie's Angels
Three beautiful girls fight crime and saving lives. Dylan is the tough one, Alex is the achiever, and Natalie is the beautiful one. A man was kidnapped and his software was stolen. Charlie, the angels' boss, is targeted by the madman. When the angels find out that the guy they're protecting is the guy that they're fighting, they must fight to save the life of their boss Charlie.
--Katherine MItchell, Resident Scholar

This is the modern day adaption of the TV series. Lucy, Drew, and Cameron play the three women trained by "Charlie" to right wrongs, stop criminals, etc. In this movie they are told to protect a young software designer/programmer who is in danger over his newest program which was stolen. They also have to recover the program because with it any evil person in the world would find it very easy to kill any world leader/person they wanted to. There are some interesting story twists and a few surprises in this movie.
--Harlee, Resident Scholar
