Synopsis
Writer-director Angela Robinson expands a short film she showed at Sundance into this tongue-in-cheek feature, which is a satire of female spy flicks like CHARLIE'S ANGELS. The plot revolves around four sexy co-eds handpicked to work at an exclusive spy academy on the basis of their S.A.T. scores and their superior ability to lie, cheat, steal, and kill. The squad consists of feisty team-leader Max (Meagan Good), goodie-goodie Janet (Jill Ritchie), apathetic chain-smoker Dominique (Devon Aoki), and good-natured Amy (Sara Foster)--who wonders if being a spy is truly her destiny. Decked out in ultra-mini plaid skirts, the D.E.B.S. (stands for Discipline, Energy, Beauty, and Strength) prepare for their most important mission yet--capturing the deadly criminal mastermind Lucy Sky (Jordana Brewster). As it turns out, Lucy is little more than a helpless romantic, and when a lesbian crush develops between Lucy and Amy, the plot takes yet another twist. Over-the-top and self-referential, D.E.B.S. pokes fun at the CHARLIE'S ANGELS formula in a good-natured way, ultimately succeeding by not taking itself too seriously. Walking a thin line between parodying and emulating the genre, D.E.B.S. depends on the same aesthetic that it spoofs. In fact the only thing that truly distinguishes D.E.B.S. from films like CHARLIE'S ANGELS is that its core romance is a lesbian one. Luckily, this relationship is developed more fully than that of other action films, and is not sensationalised. A mood-appropriate 1980s-heavy soundtrack features Erasure, The Cure, and New Order.

5.0 out of 5 stars a real 'feel-good' movie, 21 Aug 2005
D.E.B.S. is an incredibly entertaining movie. The plot centers around a group of college-aged girls who are training to be spies at a top-secret academy. One of these girls, Amy (played by Sara Foster) meets and falls in love with the woman who is *supposed* to be her arch-nemesis, evil supervillain, Lucy Diamond (played by the wonderful Jordana Brewster).

This film is a wonderful romantic comedy, with a real "feel-good" message, and has some wonderful laugh-out-loud moments (particularly one scene involving the song "A Little Respect" - when you watch the movie, I guarantee this scene will leave you in hysterics).

Go and buy D.E.B.S. now - it may not be great art, but it is great fun.

4.0 out of 5 stars Lots of fun!, 5 Jun 2005
By David Deakin (Herne Bay, Kent United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Have just watched D.E.B.S. and it's a lot of fun, but don't make the mistake of expecting a "girl-with-guns" action movie. This is a quirky lesbian romance and is aimed squarely at fans of "Better Than Chocolate" and "But I'm a Cheerleader". Very silly in places it never takes itself too seriously but actresses Sara Foster and Jordana Brewster give lovely performances as the two girls drawn to each other. Brewster is also striking in how much she looks like a young Demi Moore!

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely fantastic, 8 Aug 2005
Just watched this film and its fantastic. Don't be fooled by the description of the film and thinking its all guns its not. It's a fantastic film showing how happiness will often occur in the most unusual and least expected places.

Well recommend it, very funny and light hearted.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun and funky romance movie sadly sold short by its cover.
Don't judge a DVD by its cover!

In this respect the movie has been horribly misrepresented by the fetish-porn styling of its cover: Don't be put off! Read more
