Elvis Mitchell, New York Times: Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle is like eating a bowl of Honeycomb drenched in Red Bull -- a dizzying mouthful of unabashed silliness that leads to an equally precipitous crash once the buzz wears off after the film's first hour. Read more

Entertainment Weekly: Read more

Philip Wuntch, Dallas Morning News: Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle bears a queasy resemblance to the worst of Burt Reynolds. It's this summer's Cannonball Run. Read more
