Charlies Angel's Full Throttle (2003)

Not that 2001's Charlie's Angel's really took its self that seriously but Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle has really leaned into its identity of self satire. More stylistically heightened then the original, there are more set pieces, more cameo's, more sexy outfits, more all around ridiculousness. One of the things I most remember form the films original ad blitz back in 2003 was its emphasis on then 40 year old co-star Demi Moore's bikini body, I guess there was a novelty at that time thinking of a woman looking that good at that age, now days it seems par for the course, some of the best looking women in Hollywood are in their 40's. I think I might have enjoyed Full Throttle marginally better then the original film given just how tongue in check it is, it's disposable but mostly harmless. Bernie Mac takes over from Bill Murray as Bosley and there is a rather young Shia LaBeouf here as well. This was another movie that I got from a DVD mystery pack. **
