This 90-minute spy parody involves a secret crime-fighting unit made up of sexy schoolgirls Amy (Sara Foster), Dominique (Devon Aoki), Janet (Jill Ritchie), and Max (Meagan Good). A government agency recruited them for the team based on their standardized test scores, which assumed a propensity for lying and thieving. Their assignment is to take down major villain Lucy Diamond (Jordana Brewster). As it turns out, all she really wants to have an illicit affair with D.E.B.S. leader Amy. Michael Clarke Duncan plays the president of D.E.B.S. Academy. D.E.B.S. was shown at the Sundance Film Festival in 2004. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, Rovi

    A crazy Charlies Angels meets Heathers meets any number of strange movies with a beautiful cast. Oh yeah and it has Jordana Brewster in it which that alone was enough for me to watch the whole thing. Actually not that bad considering. Was a cute little movie.

    A genuinely sweet and fantastically entertaining lesbian romance film. It's also a spy-satire, but that is simply a backdrop for the real story. It also adds interesting dynamics between characters as an unlucky in love super-villain falls in love with a girl from the team meant ... read moreto track her down. The film manages to be sexy but not too exploitative. Most importantly the romance works, only a few comments draw attention to the same sex loving. It's portrayed in the most endearing of ways with play fighting and awkward flirting. It doesn't hurt that Jordana Brewster is super foxy. It's a shame that a film this sincere, entertaining and original failed to find a big audience.

    This is one of the greatest bad movies I have ever seen. Canada can make explotative silly teen movies with the best of them! This movie is about a secret organization of schoolgirl crimefighter who have both magic and enormous handguns at thier disposal. Oh, and one of them has ... read morea big girl-crush on the female supervillain. Yes, it's as great as it sounds. It's also as silly.

    [font=Century Gothic]In "D.E.B.S.", there is a secret exam in the SAT test, which gauges a student's ability to spy by how well they cheat, lie and steal. Amy(Sara Foster) got a perfect score and is now on an elite squad of government agents on a stake out of the evil mastermind... read more, Lucy Diamond(Jordana Brewster), while she meets with a Russian assassin, Ninotchka(Jessica Cauffiel).[/font]
    [font=Century Gothic][/font]
    [font=Century Gothic]Wait, it's not what you think...[/font]
    [font=Century Gothic][/font]
    [font=Century Gothic]Actually, it's a blind date which is disastrous even before the firefight. In the confusion, Amy and Lucy run into each other and hold off each other at gunpoint. Instead of killing each other, they talk and come to an understanding. Lucy eludes capture and realizes she has feelings for Amy.[/font]

    [font=Century Gothic][/font]
    [font=Century Gothic]On the surface, "D.E.B.S.", is just a silly action movie but there is quite a bit more going on than that. The movie is really about being true to oneself and not having to always go along with the status quo. And there is something wonderfully subversive about Amy wanting to go to art school in Barcelona instead of serving her country.[/font]
    [font=Century Gothic][/font]
    [font=Century Gothic]Despite the impressive presence of Michael Clarke Duncan and Holland Taylor stealing every scene she is in, the movie could have been improved from better performances from the principal actresses.(Well, Jordana Brewster does show flashes of talent...) And it would be nice to see Devon Aoki play a character who is not armed to the teeth.[/font]

    Lacking enough material for a full-lenght movie, D.E.B.S. is short on both plot and laughs.

Stephen Hunter, Washington Post

It's so spoofy it's difficult to call 'good' or even 'bad'; just say it's smooth. Full Review

Richard Roeper

Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper

Is it a satire of stupid movies? Is it just a stupid movie? Full Review

Susan Walker
March 25, 2005
Susan Walker, Toronto Star

Only the world of X-rated movies overlooks such flimsiness of plot, absence of acting talent, cheap special effects, banal dialogue and scantily clad young women. Full Review

Jennie Punter
March 25, 2005
Jennie Punter, Globe and Mail

The most endearing aspect of D.E.B.S., a sweet-spirited spoof, is that the lesbian romance is played for real, with no nudge-nudge wink-wink irony. Full Review

Ruthe Stein
March 25, 2005
Ruthe Stein, San Francisco Chronicle

A prime example of a dispiriting trend: movies whose primary point of reference is other movies. Full Review

Lisa Rose

Lisa Rose, Newark Star-Ledger

Those who are hoodwinked into leaving home for such deliberate mediocrity may get a sense that the movie's biggest joke is at their expense. Full Review

Kyle Smith
March 25, 2005
Kyle Smith, New York Post

Most of the second half is taken up by the surprisingly sticky, amateurishly acted love story about desperate lovers on opposite sides of the law, and there are long stretches without laughs.

Elizabeth Weitzman
March 25, 2005
Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News

Cute, campy and as proudly insubstantial as its heroines' micro-miniskirts. Full Review

Roger Ebert
March 25, 2005
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

The character traits of the D.E.B.S. are only slightly more useful than the color-coded uniforms of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Full Review

March 24, 2005
USA Today

Plays less like a send-up of Charlie's Angels than one of the endless D-list satires that clogged theaters 40 years ago near the end of the 007-inspired spy cycle. Full Review
