The girls whip out another piece of expensive, bimbo-culture cheesecake
in this incomprehensible sequel to whatever the last one was about.
Whoever directed this, no, I didn't bother to research it, should have
their head examined for early signs of Altzheimers after agreeing to
this project. But we all know why he or she (like it was a she) did
it, don't we? Cameron Diaz in a swimsuit. What else is there to say? Certainly not much if you're the writer of this thing.
 They could have reduced their film budget by at least 2/3.
You've got Bernie Mac, this time round, in
Bill Murray's role as Chuck's mouthpiece, and Shia Lebouef as someone
involved in stuff. Shia, you may remember, was the kid from the
Project Greenlight disaster Battle of Shaker
Heights. HBO viewers will fondly remember Shia as a
shining talent in an otherwise tragically comic season of Affleck and
Damon's reality series, thanks largely to the fuck ups, misfires, and
malapropos of the contest winners (one shutters to think what the
losers would have produced). Also hanging around
Throttle is John Cleese (thank you, thank you,
John!), Joey from Friends, and Robert Patrick who
add sparkle to the background for the milliseconds you're not leering
at one of the girls.
If there was a plot here, it sure wasn't obvious to me what it was, but
there did seem to be a lot of choreographed dancing and fight scenes,
presumably for some purpose, but then again after a while I just
started zoning out to the slo-mo bikinis on JiggleCam. But nobody
goes to see these flicks and expects a Rex Stout mystery: You're there for the
cheese, and boy oh boy, does Throttle deliver. At least $1.00 worth.
