User Reviews

Great fun

A trucking company, run by and employing exclusively women, loses a valuable cargo but nobody can figure out how it happened. Charlie, who happens to be a friend of the owner, sends Kris and Tiffany to a truck driving school, so that they can get ready to repeat the same trip, with a similar cargo as bait, while Kelly gets a job as a waitress at the truck stop in the area. One of the most sheerly enjoyable "Charlie's Angels" episodes in a long time, mainly because the actresses themselves - and especially Cheryl Ladd and Shelley Hack - seem to have enjoyed making it tremendously; they handle those big trucks like kids handle new toys that they found under the Christmas tree. Plus the modified truckin' version of the show's music theme sounds great! *** out of 4.
