 | This movie is really sweet...as well as funny, and grately written and directed by the wonderful Angela Robinson. The girls (and guys!) in it are not only excellent in their roles, but also amazingly beautiful. Lucy and Amy (Jordana and Sara) make a beautiful and believable couple, the interaction between them is wonderful (as well as with the rest of the cast) both on and off camera and, even though some people could find it a bit corny, there HAS to be something seriously wrong with whoever sees this movie and doesn't end up smiling.
Overall, this is an extraordinary little piece of work, Angela rules, the casting was spot on and if your looking to have a very good time watching a heartwarming love story with a happy ending -that just happens to be a queer film that ACTUALLY portraits being a lesbian as NOT such an end-of-the-wold big deal- well then do yourself a favor and WATCH THIS MOVIE...do not let the critics form a preconceived idea in your head about this film, just walk in with an open mind and willing to have a good time and make your own desicion about it, just think for yourself!....^_^ |

| Honestly, this movie isn't at all what I expected. I knew to expect campiness, after all there are four grown women running around in little plaid skirts. The whole idea seems absurd so of course I wasn't shocked to find that it was campy. I had heard that there was a kissing scene with two women but I didn't think much of it at all. As it turns out, the movie is much less about spies than it is about the relationship between these two women. Now, yes, hold onto your seat. You have campy action and humor and a lesbian relationship in this movie. Already you can see this isn't likely to be an oscar winning piece. Still, it's charming! The movie never really takes itself seriously at all and yet the message it sends out is a rather good one. No, I don't mean to say that everyone should go out and be gay....But being true to one's self IS something I would say everyone should do and that is really what is at the heart of this movie. I will say that I found Jordana and Sara delightful! They really made the movie for me. They were very very likeable and ultimately you have to have likeable characters. I didn't, however, care for the other D.E.B.S quite so much. They struck me as just a bit -too- uptight for even the writing's own good but over all I enjoyed it. Now I know four stars is a generous rating to give a film of this sort. On the other hand, you have to judge it based on what it was trying to accomplish and not what other movies might be better. The movie was meant to be fun, sweet and silly. The movie was meant to make us smile and think a little bit about acceptance and being true to yourself. Hey, high marks on all of those so--YES! I like this movie and I would recommend it to other open minded individuals. The problem with this kind of film is that you either get it or you don't. It's just fun! Have fun! |

| Once again, I have been led astray by girls in miniskirts. I knew this was a pretty stupid comedy going in, but I had no idea just how utterly inane it really was. I actually like a lot of stupid movies, but D.E.B.S. takes a whole lot of nothing on a long, boring ride to nowhere. The script can only be a cry for help from a scriptwriter desperate to lose a job he detests, the cast members (with the exception of Jordana Brewster) are dreadful and put no heart whatsoever into what they are doing, and all the CGI hokum just makes the whole thing even more ridiculous than it already is.
The D.E.B.S. are a group of young female spies; girls who perform well on a secret test inside the SAT supply the candidates for this elite spy school - thus, they are not all paragons of virtue. In the movie, our central gang of four young, ahem, "heroes" - consisting of an egomaniacal squad leader; a chain-smoking, bed-hopping French girl; an annoying goody-two-shoes still hoping to earn her stripes; and Miss Perfect Score herself, Amy Bradshaw (Sara Foster) the pride and joy of the organization - go after an infamous criminal mastermind named Lucy Diamond (Brewster). Amy becomes the first agent to ever encounter Lucy and live to tell about it. She doesn't really tell about it, however, because the fact is that she and Lucy are immediately infatuated with one another. The majority of the movie consists of Amy struggling between her friends and her duty (which means bringing Diamond to justice) and her growing love for Lucy. Batman capers are inserted to move the story forward (i.e., pass the time). There are also some awkward attempts at comedy and a few bells and whistles to try and distract you from the utter inanity of the whole plot, but nothing really works. Other than Amy finally making a decision in the end, that's really it in terms of the story.
Think about how bad the Charlie's Angels movies were. Now multiply that badness quotient by about 100. That's D.E.B.S. in a nutshell. |

| I rented this movie thinking it was going to be silly and pathetic. Yes it was really stupid, but the lesbian theme in the background was really well done and the movie is funny. So who cares if it's not orignal? Jordonna Brewster is soo unbelievable that you don't want to stop watching for one second. So anyways, great movie. |

| If you're one of those people who plop in front of the TV with a bowl of Fruit Loops on Saturday mornings to watch the latest antics of your favorite superheroes, you'll love D.E.B.S. If not, then hop into your invisible jet, form of a high-speed train or send an aquatic rescue signal to your dolphin friends and get away from the screen immediately because this film is not for you. In this cartoonish adventure directed by Angela Robinson, villain Lucy Diamond (Jordana Brewster) is stirring up trouble and the D.E.B.S.- a team of sexy spies- are caught in her wake. When their top agent, Amy Bradshaw (Sara Foster), becomes intrigued with the luscious lesbian, the spies take a walk on the wild side in an effort to set things straight. Holland Taylor and Michael Clark Duncan add a touch of class to this Scooby Doo mystery, but the only real reason to watch is to start your day with a bellyful of eye candy. So curl up on your couch, poor the milk and enjoy spoonfuls of this sugary-sweet treat. -C. Gunnells, CeleGAYtions
