Sultry crime boss Lucy Diamond (Jordana Brewster, The Fast and the Furious) is back in the states and the D.E.B.S.- an elite team of paramilitary college co-ed superspies- are hot on her trail. But when their top agent, gorgeous Amy Bradshaw (Sara Foster, The Big Bounce), mysteriously disappears after coming face to face with the attractive young villainess, the D.E.B.S. begin a full-scale search for Lucy's secret lair, never suspecting that Amy may not want to be rescued after all, in this smart and sexy spy spoof about love at first gun sight.

Summary: D.efinitely E.ntertaining, B.eautifully S.urprising
Comment: 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!!!

Summary: D.E.B.S review
Comment: 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.

Summary: Excellent
Comment: 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!!!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Highly Entertaining!
Comment: 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!

Summary: Better than Expected
Comment: 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+
