The three most glamorous and butt-kicking private detectives in the business are back and ready to take on bad guys in this sequel to the 2000 blockbuster screen adaptation of the once-popular television series. Dylan (Drew Barrymore), Natalie (Cameron Diaz), and Alex (Lucy Liu) are once again summoned to the office of their boss Charlie (voice of John Forsythe), where they're introduced to his new right-hand man Jimmy Bosley (Bernie Mac) and given their latest assignment. It seems a pair of

It's like a third-rate Austin Powers picture cut to the whacking, attention-deficit-disorder tempo of Moulin Rouge.
A loud and frequently funny clown show.
It's like a whole movie done by Maxim magazine.
In Full Throttle, returning director McG works much harder, for only about half the effect.
Don't expect the giddy charm of the first film.
A nearly two-hour exercise in chaotic action and coarse, annoyingly coy sexuality.
Mini skirt girl power continues.
Full Throttle would have worked if it were a promo video for a Hollywood stunt school. But you can only defy gravity so many times before you go floating off into space.
Even as a girl fantasy flick, "Full Throttle" fails because the filmmakers are more distracted with bad music video set pieces than telling a story.
How could you dislike a film that takes itself so lightly?
The special effects sequences, silly jokes, tantalizing outfits and overbearing soundtrack seem painfully forced and fake. Or maybe a better word is shallow. This film, for whatever it achieves, is painfully shallow.
Well, at least the title is apt -- this aggravatingly incoherent series of subpar music videos did make me want to see someone fully throttled.
Once again, the tone is that of a giggly, sweetly knowing, megabucks slumber party.
It's a bombastic blast while it lasts.
To paraphrase Steven Soderberg, if having fun on a set was an indication of how good the movie will be then Cannonball Run would be the greatest movie ever made.
This thing is pure garbage.
Stupid stunts that defy rational belief, wasted casting that infuriates and annoys, and more skin than any woman with a brain, agent and reputation should display on screen.
The Full Throttle sequel is at best a slice of mindless escapism. The problem was that they focused so much on making the already attractive trio look even more sexy that the idea of a good plot and gripping action thrills were entirely forgotten in the process. Another problem was they had John Cleese. There was no
