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

 I love this movie! April 26, 2009
Jennifer Pouliot
This was the first movie I'd ever seen with a lesbian relationship. It's cute and funny; I think it's a wonderful alternative to other romantic comdedies, since it does have some action as well! Angela Robinson, I'll be looking out for your other projects!
Fun and funky romance movie sadly sold short by its cover. February 11, 2009

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! This is a quirky, left-of-centre romance story which plays it cute and camp rather than provocative and sexy.
The film sees one of our DEBS heroines falling for their evil nemesis, Lucy Diamond. Subsequently, the girls play for laughs as the remaining DEBS try to catch aforementioned baddie whilst the central romance continues undiscovered, under their noses. Imagine James Bond falling for and dating Le Chiffre while he, M and British Intelligence are supposed to be hunting for him!
It's all very tongue in cheek, a Charlie's Angels/90210/Spy Hard mix, and it does drag at times, its sketch show origins are obvious, but what it lacks in full-on belly laughs it makes up for by being warm-hearted and sweet. The actors are uniformly brilliant and appear to be having a ball throughout with Jordana Brewster as Lucy Diamond stealing the show but no-one is taking themselves too seriously and that's exactly the way you should approach this film: popcorn, pizza, fizzy drink of your choice and leave your brain in another room.
D.efinitely E.ntertaining, B.eautifully S.urprising November 16, 2008

I thought this movie was going to be like Charlie's Angels or something, but it was a comedy, spy spoof movie. There are some funny parts like when Lucy Diamonds is lip-synching the song "A Little Respect" by Erasure. The director obviously had a message which was to show a positive spin on a homosexual or lesbian relationship. It was nice that it had a happy ending because I thought that Lucy was going to die at the end, but that would have ruined the movie.
Megan Good is really beautiful in this movie as Max, and so is Jordana Brewster as Lucy Diamond. Lucy Diamond was so halarious in this movie! She kept trying to get with Amy and Lucy Diamond was so cute with her nice smile. Some people might give a bad review of this movie, but it is what it is, and it depends on what you like.
I would give it 3 or 4 stars because it was not what I expected. The lesbian twist was unexpected. I would recommend that you rent it or borrow from the library before you buy it so you can see that it is a good movie. There are a lot of cute and hilarious scenes. Devon Aoki's French accent is mad funny. The girls are just entertaining in those sexy outfits as well!!!

D.E.B.S review September 5, 2008
N. Scott
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.

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!!!
