A thumping soundtrack and ultra-cool special effects may compete with the modern day market but here are merely anachronistic distractions, sacrificing authenticity for the sake of the stars' egos. When used, the 70's graphics, visuals and overall production are superb, making the film an entertaining slice of imaginative 'nostalgia' as long as it's not taken as seriously as they sometimes appear to want you to. When it does parody itself, Charlie's Angels is entertaining, but remains lacking in the confidence to pull it off, and so deflates to rather limp eye-candy, pulled up occasionally to the status of satire only by Diaz and the way she embraces the humour of the film. This one, I fear is headed for a grave that should be a little deeper than these shallow soul sisters.
