GamerTab That was an excellent one.

SoftInloveRox Horrible, fascist and poorly acted

Stellead Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Leofwine_draca THE CHAMPAGNE GANG is nothing more than an indie version of the Hollywood blockbuster CHARLIE'S ANGELS. It tries throughout to be slick and stylish but fails miserably in the attempt due to being nearly plotless and meandering. There's no real scope here at all, just a bunch of women chatting with barely any kind of action whatsoever. It's entirely aimless.

JohnHowardReid Of the four previous reviews, three condemn this movie and the fourth praises it, so I guess I'm going to please no-one by admitting that although I certainly found the film disappointing, it was reasonably well directed and by no means a total write-off. Of the four members of the not-so-called "Champagne Gang" (there is no champagne in the movie that I can recollect), three of the ladies are certainly beautiful enough to display their assets with a modicum of success. True, there is no total nudity, but enough feminine flesh is on display to keep the eyes of the average male viewer glued to the screen. The story is not bad either. It moves at a fast enough clip, has plenty of action and the director makes good use of more actual locations than you would normally see in a lifetime. True the alluring cover of the Maverick Entertainment DVD does seem to promise more feminine flesh than is actually on display, but that is by no means an uncommon occurrence with DVD releases in general - even from the most prestigious studios!

SpecialAgentMaxwell Wow! I haven't seen a movie this good since Caligula! The lead actress (Lacey Toups for those not in the know) is a cut above the rest. It was very cool to see Forest Whitaker do something small and indie like this for a change. As for the story, if I didn't know any better, I would have thought Michael Mann had something to do with the script. Every single detail of the Gang's criminal enterprise is scrutinized under an incredibly watchful eye. It makes sense though. The Champagne Gang is based on a true story and it shows. The sense of reality is a prevailing feeling throughout the movie. This is a must-see and most definitely a must-own. Awesome!!!

JoeB131 This film probably didn't have a bad concept, and at some point, I expect it will be remade with actresses you may have heard of who can actually act. And maybe they will get a screenwriter who can actually write dialog. Other than that, it was an excuse to put girls in bikinis and have them run around on the beach. Not that I normally object to that sort of thing, but... They start the movie out by telling you how it ends. We are told from the get-go, they are going to get arrested and sent to jail. Well, that kind of destroys the suspense, doesn't it? Then they go into the story of how this gang of shoplifters were recruited by a crime boss and taught how to engage in the glamorous job of robbing supermarket safes... Okay, more jiggling, more party scenes, a little burglary school montage (where is the "Team America" Montage song when you need it?), a few close calls, and they get caught. That only virtue of this movie it was direct to DVD, so you could fast forward through the boring parts, which is about half the movie.
