MOVIE REVIEW () REVIEW BY PHIL: " SOMETIMES IT'S FUNNY, BUT THE WHOLE EXPERIENCE IS WEAK "
          THIS MOVIE IS A SCREEN ADAPTATION OF THE 70s TV SERIES . WELL, ALTHOUGH WE CAN'T REALLY SAY IT'S IN THE SPIRIT OF THE SERIES, THE MESSAGE IS STILL THE SAME : WOMEN ARE NOT WORTHLESS AND ARE CAPABLE TO FIGHT.

THE STORY IN THIS ONE CAN'T GET MORE SIMPLISTIC THAN THAT : A COMPUTER GENIUS IS KIDNAPPED AND WE MUST TRACK HIM DOWN ALONG WITH HIS EXTRAORIDINARY VOICE RECOGNITION DEVICE. THERE'S REALLY NO SPICE IN IT ! 

        WHAT'S GOOD ABOUT THE STORY IS THE WAY THE GIRLS HANDLE THE CASE . THE FIRST PART OF THE MOVIE IS THE BEST ONE : THE GIRLS TRY TO LOCATE BOTH THE GENIUS AND THE PROGRAM WITH VERY ECCENTRIC WAYS (CHECK OUT THE "NORWEGIAN" SCENE ! ) .AS SOON AS THE BIG SURPRISE (IS IT REALLY THAT MUCH OF A SURPRISE ?? ) IS ANNOUNCED, THE MOVIE STARTS TO DWINDLE AND THE STORY GETS EXTREAMLY HARD TO BARE . 

      ANYWAY, THE MOVIE RELIES MOSTLY ON THE GIRLS (THAT ARE REALLY GORGEOUS).  THAT'S WHY THE SECOND PART IS REALLY BORING ...

DREW BARRYMORE IS THE ONLY ONE WHO SEEMS TO BE ACTING . THE OTHER TWO ARE JUST HERE TO EXPOSE THAIR BODIES AND SENSUALITIES ... 

MANY ROLES ARE UNDER-VALUED : CAN ANYONE TELL WHY MATT LEBLANC'S ROLE WAS SO UNSIGNIFICANT OR WHY BILL MURRAY ONLY APPEARS 7 MIN ??? 

          THE CHOREOGRAPHY OF THE BATTLES IS VERY GOOD AND REMINDS US A LOT OF STREET FIGHTER OR MORTAL KOMBAT GAMES. WE CAN SEE HOW WORKING ON VIDEO CLIPS INFLUENCED DIRECTOR McG 

OVERALL, THIS MOVIE CAN ENTERTAIN YOU BUT IT'S LIMITED BY MANY FACTORS. WHEN THE MOVIE IS OVER, I ADVISE YOU TO RE-WATCH  SOME SCENES OF THE FIRST PART (THE CAR RACE, THE SEARCH FOR FINGERPRINTS, THE CONFERENCE...)

DVD REVIEW ()

WHEN THE DVD WAS ANNOUNCED , IT DIDN'T FEATURE ANY SPECIAL FEATURES. WE WERE VERY SURPRISE TO FIND OUT THAT THE DVD WAS REALLY FILLED WITH THOSE AND STANDS OUT AS ONE OF THE BEST DVDS OF THE YEAR.

FIRST, THE MENU IS VERY FLASHY AND APPROPRIATE.

YOU CAN FIND INTERESSTING FOOTAGE A FEATURETTE AND INTERVIEWS THAT TELL YOU ABOUT  THE MAKING OF THE MOVIE AND GIVES YOU THE OPINION OF THE ACTORS ON THE PROCESS . 

THERE ARE ALSO SOME DELETED SCENES (SOME GOOD , SOME TERRIBLE )

OTHER FEATURES LIKE AUDIO COMMENTARY, MUSIC VIDEO , PRODUCTION NOTES , TRAILERS, CAST BIOS... ARE AVAILABLE FOR YOU TO SEE.

THIS DVD IS REALLY GREAT.

THEY SHOULD DO DVDS LIKE THIS FOR GOOD MOVIES !!
