"Charlie, how your angels get down like that?"

Destiny's Child poses this question in their song, "Independent Women Part I," which can be found on the Charlie's Angels soundtrack.

And as I watched Charlie's Angels, I too had an amended version of this question running through my head.

My question — "Charlie, how your angels get down like that — especially wearing all that pleather?"

In a Colombia Pictures press release, costume designer Joseph Aulisi, said to compensate for all of the action, he used a lot of stretch fabrics in the costumes.

"The girls wanted to feel sexy and confident — like they can kick their leg above their head in the fighting scenes and not be hindered by crazy materials," said Producer Nancy Juvonen.

Colombia Pictures said the movie Charlie's Angels is an update of the original '70s action-comedy TV series.

The new Angels include Dylan, played by Drew Barrymore, the unofficial ringleader — confident, intelligent but lacking a stable love life. Natalie, played by Cameron Diaz, is innocent, a bit naïve and love struck, but she definitely has beauty and power — a dynamic combination.

The trio is rounded out Alex, played by Lucy Liu, who is a tough, no-nonsense, mildly traditional woman, plagued by the fact that she has to tell her boyfriend (Friends' star Matt LeBlanc) that she lives two separate lives.

The Angels are accompanied by their faithful, yet dimwitted, sidekick, Bosley, played by Bill Murray.

The basic premise of the movie is the plight of the Angels on their quest to save the world and their boss, Charlie, from the possible harm caused if a new technology, which can trace a person by his or her voice, gets in the wrong set of hands.

During the movie, the Angels and Bosley go undercover as geishas, belly dancers and racecar drivers.

In the movie version of Angels, only the antagonists use guns and the Angels defend themselves through the use of martial arts. At times the Angels' moves seemed a bit outrageous and unrealistic, but that's part of the fun of the movie.

"We tried to take everything and amplify it — bring it to a heightened place of reality," said director Joseph McGuinty, known simply as McG.

"I wanted a 90-minute ride of stimulus on every conceivable level."

My favorite part of the movie was the camaraderie and bonds the Angels had. They were girls, they had insecurities with guys, they had inside jokes and idiosyncrasies, they were fun loving.

At one point, when the Angels don't know the name of one of the "bad guys" he is simply referred to as the "creepy, skinny guy" — a very accurate nickname created by the Angels.

"An Angel has to have the dexterity to go in and out of any situation and feel right at home," McG said in his definition of a modern-day Charlie's Angel.

"They have to be very effective and have the panache to capture everyone's imagination. They have to make the men say, 'I want to be with her' and the women say, 'I want to be like her.'"

McG successfully accomplished his first goal — Charlie's Angels is definitely a guy's movie filled with tons of sexual innuendoes and even more low-cut, tight outfits.

However, I don't think he was as successful with his second goal.

Let's face it, the Angels have a tough job, with limited rewards and they never get a coffee break.

Nevertheless, the 2000 version of Charlie's Angels, is an hour and half of fast-paced fun, wit, humor, music and of course, action.

All the actors give outstanding performances, and Barrymore, Diaz and Liu further prove their talents as comediennes.

I wouldn't call Charlie's Angels revolutionary but it is definitely the perfect date flick, with aspects that both male and female audiences can appreciate.
