If unsettling is the word best used to describe The Dramatic Edge, the word that best describes Champagne Gang is insipid. It sounded promising--shot in San Diego, based on a true story, and four lovely girls... Even if you have a great story, it has to be tight and well-acted. Assuming that these were newcomers to the acting profession, the writer/director has to look beyond sex appeal (though Charlie's Angels did well). In this era of short attention spans, the story should have had more than the thrill of trying to identify San Diego landmarks. After a while, even that gets boring. This material could have yielded more. Still, at least people are willing to try... Oh yeah, it was a story of more than a hundred heists. Mukul Khurana
