Movie critic Mike LaSalle finds that the two sets of "Angels" have different hair ratios and seduction techniques. He also says: "View the old TV show today and something unexpected becomes obvious. What's remembered today as campy — and was thought of at the time as a big joke — turns out not to have been that big a joke after all. Nineteen years after the show's cancellation and more than 20 years since its ratings heyday, it's striking how well these women were presented."
