    Not an issue.

What Parents Need to Know

About Charlie's Angels

Parents need to know that in addition to a lot of "action-style" violence (very little blood), the movie has drinking, smoking, and some profanity and innuendo. One of the angels is shown waking up after a one-night-stand, clearly intending never to see the guy again. She later has a sexual encounter that turns out to have been a mistake.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about how Dylan's absent father affected her life, especially her decision to work for a man who would never meet her. Knox, too, was affected by an absent father. Why don't the Angels want the men in their lives to know what they do? What would happen if they told them? Even movies as essentially silly as this one can also provide good lessons in problem-solving and ethics. How do they break down the problem of getting access to the GPS software into solvable pieces? Why won't the angels give Knox access to the GPS software?

    Just 3 girls getting as naked as possible in a PG-13 movie

    Its basically just a movie that tries to show as much skin as possible w/o an R rating. Anyone who struggles w/ sex or anything related should not watch it. It was kind of crappy so don't bother watching it even if you don't struggle w/ that kind of stuff
