The dolls can become anything from playful romantic partners for lonely guys to butt-kicking adventure junkies.

But dolls doing the bidding of their ?masters?
Is this Whedons ironic update of the cheerful work-enslavement ofCharlies Angels?

That seems like an excessively elaborate setup, albeit for a darn good action climax.
