You can say this about D.E.B.S.: director Angela Robinson's 2005 feature isn't very good, but it is surprisingly entertaining. The premise, which bears a passing resemblance to any number of previous films (from Heathers and Clueless to Charlie's Angels and the Austin Powers franchise), involves a secret government agency recruiting young women as spies, based on their smarts, their ability to lie convincingly, and the fact that they look fetching in ultra-miniskirts. Four of the D.E.B.S. are then charged with collaring "criminal mastermind" Lucy Diamond (Jordana Brewster), who has returned to the States after hatching all manner of nefarious plots overseas. Then comes the twist: Diamond is gay, and one of our heroines, Amy Bradshaw (Sara Foster), unexpectedly finds herself falling in love with her. Out goes the espionage element; in comes the love story, and therein lies the surprise, as this burgeoning lesbian relationship is handled with unexpected sympathy, even tenderness. Sure, the acting, even by veteran grownups like Holland Taylor and Michael Clarke Duncan, is almost uniformly lame, and the script is silly; overall, the film would have to put on considerable weight to even be considered frothy. Still, D.E.B.S. isn't a bad way to kill a couple of hours. DVD bonus features include a making-of featurette and commentary by Robinson and the cast. --Sam Graham

 D.E.B.S review September 5, 2008
D.E.B.S is one of my most cherished dvds. It is worth every single penny I spent on it. It is funny, romantic and one of the best written movies ever in my opinion. Jordana and Sara have a lot of chemistry so the relationship is believable and that just adds to making it one of the best.
Well that's all I have to say.
Excellent July 3, 2008
I love DEBS for a number of reasons
1) I saw this after seeing Brokeback. I'm so GLAD there is a HAPPY ending in this film.
2) All the subtle jokes in the backgound, signs, etc.
3) A love story-- I truly believed the romance in this film.
4) All the women in this movie had very unique personalities.
5) It was laugh out loud at times, and down right sad at times. I ran through the gambit of emotions here.
6) The coming out story is so true to what a lot of us had to go through, denial, hiding, shame, try to change, finally acceptance for ourself (even if friends and family won't)
GREAT MOVIE!!!
Highly Entertaining! June 26, 2008
Rarely do you get a watchable movie with this low of a budget, but director/writer Angela Robinson makes the most of it and creates a wonderful and amusing little film. The bare bones of the movie is the hero and villain fall in love with each other. I know it's not the most original of stories, but what makes it unique is that the hero and villain both happen to be women. What makes it even more unique (and ultimately why this is a movie everyone should check out) is that the lesbianism/female-female relationship is never an issue. The main conflict is because the good guy and bad guy (or girls in this case) fall for each other. The fact that it's a lesbian relationship never really comes up.
Okay, so the story makes this movie good. What makes it great? Answer: Sara Foster (playing Amy, the good girl) and Jordana Brewster (playing the villain Lucy Diamond). Not only are these two actresses gorgeous, but they have great chemistry on screen (a necessity for this story). Their attraction to each other is very believable and they are a joy to watch throughout the entire movie. Why Sara Foster is not in more films is beyond me. She's fantastic. And I kind of fell in love with Jordana Brewster after seeing this movie.
Anyways...just watch it already!
Better than Expected June 8, 2008
Indeed, D.E.B.S. is another babe-hero film, chock full of predictability & well-used story lines. Most guys love these kind of films because, well, they are made for guys...sorry ladies!
The shining star & saving grace of this film is Panamanian knockout Jordana Brewster (playing the "Bad Guy"), who amazingly has acted in only a handful of films. Jordana has that certain electricity glowing about her; beautiful yet simplistic & magnetic is her prescence throughout the film. One can easily see how the other D.E.B.S. girls feed off of Jordana's energy & how painfully boring this film would have been without her. B+
Predictable, But What Isn't? June 4, 2008
Predictable, but how can you not like this film? I used this film for my Queer Film class last semester and got an A on the paper and for the class...a nice, short, almost cute film - Robinson does a good job of keeping the audience entertained with the spoofs and parodies.
