Carlito's Angels

I thought that this movie might be a good spoof, or at least a good independent comedy like Friday. Instead it was more like something someone in high school would make with their parents' camcorder. It wasn't just the low budget that makes this film bad (many great films have been made on a low budget), it is simply a bad movie and it wasn't even bad enough to be good camp. Case in point: for the first ten minutes of the movie nothing happens except the 3 main characters sit in their room smoking dope, put on their makeup, and then answer a phone call. You keep waiting for something to get story moving, but it never comes. The sound was so bad I had to turn the TV up all the way just to almost make out what they were saying (which wasn't interesting anyways). If I pay to rent a movie I will usually suffer through it even when it's bad, but it was all I could do to sit through 20 minutes. It looks like the person before me felt the same way because they didn't rewind the tape and left off about the same place I did. The only reason I gave this a score of 1 is because the rating system doesn't have negative numbers.

You have to be a woman to know what a great feat it actually is to scale down a high rise fire escape in a mini skirt and heels. This movie is funny, and the best part about it, is that it is a girl power movie. If you can get passed the sex- ploitation cover, you will find this movie is actually a hilarious girl power flick, that's actually more fun the second time around.

I can't believe I liked this movie as much as I did. I really wanted to rip it apart, and in many ways I could, bad sound, shallow plot and one dimensional characters, but I just found myself laughing out loud, several times and really having a good time.

The opening scene really got me into watching the movie. However, not more than 5 minutes later, I was already gouging my eyes out. Not only could I not understand a word that was said, the acting could have been better by a group of mentally handicapped. The one highlight of this movie was that there was a punk white midget. However, I didn't quite get the connection on how a white midget was the child of two African Americans. But I guess anything is possible. Also, why the hell was Robin in the movie? I'm not sure that it added anything artistically. Overall, I would strongly recommend you jump off a cliff before you rent this movie.

If you don't appreciate low budget independent cinema this film is not for you. The director Augustin did an excellent job with the resources he had.

I think the concept is great; Charlie's angels in the hood. The girls were great and really funny, they just needed a better script.

Some parts drag a bit, but you can tell it is one of the director's first projects. You have to appreciate what he is trying to do with a very low budget.If you are Hispanic, there are plenty of inside jokes you will enjoy.

I would like to see what Augustin can do with a better script and a bigger budget. I look forward to seeing his future work.

It is definitely worth a look. I gave it a good 5.

I am 43 years old. I remember the original Charlie's Angels. This movie was more similar to it than the big budget film with Drew, Cameron and Lucy. Carlito's Angels was a fantastic spoof of the original, plus the nudity you wished was in the old series! I realize Hollywood is running out of original ideas, but instead of stealing a title of an old show,and trying to redo it, they should make more spoofs. Just look at the Naked Gun movies. I thought they sucked! But, they had big budgets and big names. Carlito's Angels should do a sequel!! With a bigger budget, a more experienced director, and better promotion of it, it should be great!!
