“What if mom and dad are criminals?” asks young actor McKenna Roberts.
“We were spies”Diaz corrects. We then get to see Foxx and Diaz beat up some bad guys. 24 years have passed since Charlie’s Angels movie, but Diaz still has that mean right hook. And he still had that impeccable comic timing, insisting, “It’s okay, it’s not that bad!” after her daughter berates her for knocking out a bully.
The film was directed by Seth Gordon (Identity Thief, Baywatch) and Gordon co-wrote the screenplay with Brendan O’Brien.
