What happens

Charlie's Angels is a 2000 American spy action comedy film directed by McG in his feature-film directorial debut, and written by Ryan Rowe, Ed Solomon, and John August. It is the first installment in the Charlie's Angels film series, a continuation of the television series of the same name created by Ivan Goff and Ben Roberts. Unlike the original series, the film features more comic elements. The film stars Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore, and Lucy Liu as three women working in a private detective agency in Los Angeles. John Forsythe reprised his role as the unseen Charlie's voice from the original series. Bill Murray also stars as John Bosley, replacing David Doyle, who played the role in the original series. It also stars Sam Rockwell, Tim Curry, and Kelly Lynch, while Crispin Glover, Matt LeBlanc, Luke Wilson, and Tom Green appear in supporting roles. The film was released on November 3, 2000, in the United States by Sony Pictures Releasing under its Columbia Pictures label, and grossed $264.1 million worldwide. The film received mixed reviews from critics. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
