DVD Description
Writer-director Angela Robinson expands a short film she showed at Sundance into this tongue-in-cheek feature, which is a satire of female spy flicks like CHARLIE'S ANGELS. The plot revolves around four sexy co-eds handpicked to work at an exclusive spy academy on the basis of their S.A.T. scores and their superior ability to lie, cheat, steal, and kill. The squad consists of feisty team-leader Max (Meagan Good), goodie-goodie Janet (Jill Ritchie), apathetic chain-smoker Dominique (Devon Aoki), and good-natured Amy (Sara Foster)--who wonders if being a spy is truly her destiny. Decked out in ultra-mini plaid skirts, the D.E.B.S. (stands for Discipline, Energy, Beauty, and Strength) prepare for their most important mission yet--capturing the deadly criminal mastermind Lucy Sky (Jordana Brewster). As it turns out, Lucy is little more than a helpless romantic, and when a lesbian crush develops between Lucy and Amy, the plot takes yet another twist. Over-the-top and self-referential, D.E.B.S. pokes fun at the CHARLIE'S ANGELS formula in a good-natured way, ultimately succeeding by not taking itself too seriously. Walking a thin line between parodying and emulating the genre, D.E.B.S. depends on the same aesthetic that it spoofs. In fact the only thing that truly distinguishes D.E.B.S. from films like CHARLIE'S ANGELS is that its core romance is a lesbian one. Luckily, this relationship is developed more fully than that of other action films, and is not sensationalised. A mood-appropriate 1980s-heavy soundtrack features Erasure, The Cure, and New Order.
Advantages: Great Fun and Embarassingly funny at times Disadvantages: Bad translation at times/Subtitles

Advantages: Makes you laugh Disadvantages: Makes you laugh so much it hurts
...This film is Jim Carey back at his best. The film is absoulty hilarious and will make you laugh from start to finish. One of the best bits has to be when his co worker gets the anchor job over him so he does some weird talking for him, it will have you rolling around in tears. He also trys to improve the lovely Jenifer Aniston by giving her bigger breasts. Teaches the dog to pea in the toilet. Its a good all round film for kids and grown ups alike. bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb...
