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...
more...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.

Review of D.E.B.S. (DVD) by Great_reviewer07

Advantages: Light, fluffy entertainment
Disadvantages: Very contrived

Amy Bradshaw (Sara Foster) is what’s known as the perfect score, meaning that she has all the perfect attributes to be a secret agent.

Along with Max (Meagan Good), Dominique and Janet they make up the D.E.B.S (discipline, energy, beauty and strength). When the D.E.B.S hear of an old nemesis’s return they are ... Read review

Advantages: cheap,ok film
Disadvantages: not great

**** D.E.B.S. **** This is very light film which is perfect to watch on a night in.Girls can watch the film and men can stare at the actresses. **Plot** The two main characters fall in love with each other but can't be together as they are supposed to be enemies.They say opposites attract and this appears to be true in this film. **Cast** Jordana Brewster plays Lucy Diamond one of the worst villains in the world.She leaves a trail of diamonds ...
