Thanks for the memories!

It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

I wanted to but couldn't!

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

At first blush, D.E.B.S. may seem like the sort of superficial sexual exploitation movie that used to flood Drive-In Theatres (aka "Passion Pits" and "Lust Lots") forty or fifty years ago.And undoubtedly, any proponent of California Proposition 8 (which bans same-sex marriage) will find this movie's favorable portrayal of a "lesbian love affair" highly offensive and downright immoral.But D.E.B.S. has three things going for it, and those three things help to explain the large number of favorable reviews of D.E.B.S. on IMDb.1) Controversy aside, D.E.B.S. is a fantastic "buddy" film. The lengths to which Scud will go-- to help his friend Lucy to heal her broken heart and to win the object of her love-- is truly heartwarming. And the recurring cattiness and rivalry among the D.E.B.S. throughout the film is trumped--indeed totally nullified--when Max tells Lucy "If you break her heart I will hunt you down and kill you." 2) The acting in D.E.B.S. is remarkable, and in fact it is astounding to see so many terrific performances in such a low budget film. A movie with this sort of budget is generally characterized by nauseous doses of "over acting," but in this film, each and every performer seems inspired to treat their parts not only with humor but also with a "labor of love" spirit which helps to explain why so many people genuinely enjoy this film.3) And while it is doubtful that anti-gay audiences would ever be able to view this film objectively, the fact is that some timeless universal themes are treated with precision and directness: How important is it for people to be honest with themselves? Are professional values more valid than personal values? And in the final analysis, is it a myth or a reality that Love can conquer all?

had hoped this movie would have gotten a higher rating. not sure why that is but perhaps people were expecting too much. went into watching this without any expectations and was pleasantly surprised by how much i enjoyed it. you have a very attractive youthful looking cast which helps, mixed with a lot of spy humor and a budding love story to boot between the lead actresses. if one hasn't seen the short which is also great, than you would surprised by the love connection between amy a.k.a the perfect score and super-villain lucy diamond who plans to conquer and take over the world. there's some really funny scenes ie. when lucy infiltrates the d.e.b.s secret lair than breaks into amy's room and kidnaps her for a night out on the town. during their outing which includes a pit stop at a club, amy and lucy get to know each other over a couple of beers. i also enjoyed the clips that show the two spending time together and the romance developing through clips of them having a soda, enjoying a sunset and other activities. while i would have enjoyed it more had they decided to include the extended love scene between amy and lucy, it still works without it. i loved the character of ms. petrie played by Holland taylor who i thought got the killer comedy lines throughout. while devon aoki who plays dominique got the least screen time, her frech accent was just atrocious and so was her character. aside from the one gripe i have, the film was a fun piece of fluff.

First of all, this movie is hilarious. It made me laugh and smile a lot of times. And it also made me think and reflect about some things. It's sincere, has a true plot about love behind, and I really liked the relation between Lucy and Amy, since the first moment they looked into their eyes, you can tell how love flooded them, and I thought that was a sweet and funny scene, the first encounter, and it "made me cry" when they just met again the same way in the last scene.This also shows the stereotype of forbidden love. NOT because they were both women (which i think was even better, it shows that is not wrong to love someone of your same sex, and it reflected a true and sweet love), 'cause they were supposed to be foes. But, as a good love story, it ended well, and i was glad about it. I just wanted to give a little opinion here, I feel like i have too many things to say, but i just don't know how. I just know that I totally loved this movie. One of my favorites; a good comedy, and an excellent love story. Worth seeing. For me it was superb, with good acting, specially Jordana Brewster, she did a good job. She took the "evilness" to another level, and showed how a "villian" can love passionately.

I expected D.E.B.S. (2004) to be a really silly parody of spy movies and teen flicks with tons of references to pop culture, kind of like the NAKED GUN films. Surprisingly, it is really kind of neither, although it leans a bit more on the "teen" side with situations reminiscent of what one would see in teen-oriented movies, like teen angst, peer pressure, popularity, and cliques. The squad of spy girls in the film are obviously not teenagers (I mean in real life), and I guess it shouldn't matter since that is just a cover and they only interact within the girls at the D.E.B.S. school and with their superiors. Yet it is kind of distracting as I expected these girls to at least remind me of teenagers; they all seemed a bit too adult for me to believe they were real teens; they were just 20-somethings (a couple looked closer to 30!) dressed in schoolgirl outfits. Also, the spy angle is underplayed as well, with only slight scenes of fake-looking guns, CGI gadgetry, and the typical "chief-relaying-orders-to-agents" moments early on. What D.E.B.S. really is...is a love story! And a very well done one at that.The love story is between the main characters, D.E.B. Amy (played by the beautiful and refreshing Sara Foster) and world-class criminal Lucy (the stunningly gorgeous and hot Jordana Brewster). What I like about the lesbian love story is that it is done very tastefully and sincerely, with genuine sparks and chemistry between Foster and Brewster. It could have easily been portrayed as just a lustfest between 2 such stunning beauties, but it was not. It was really sweet and charming.But that's the problem. The love story was so good, and the parody so poor that they felt like they should have just been 2 different movies. It actually does TRY to be a parody with some fairly humorous moments sprinkled throughout it's running time, but the parody overall was very flat and so underdone that it all just seemed uneasy. While the love story was interesting, the "professions" of the lead characters didn't ring true for me. Lucy didn't come across as being a criminal mastermind or deadly and Amy didn't really show any signs that she was a soon-to-be top notch secret agent. They just seemed like two regular women that were into each other. Their conversations were definitely intriguing and well-written, but they should have been in an entirely different movie.The supporting cast is a mixed bag. Jill Ritchie (as D.E.B Janet) pretty much steals the movie playing the (supposedly) not-so-bright girl hiding Amy's secret and I found her to actually rise above the material and deliver a knockout comedic performance. Jimmi Simpson is underused and funny also as Lucy's right-hand man Scud, and the ever-reliable Holland Taylor comes through as D.E.B. commandant Ms. Petrie, showing the young girls how a pro does it. The weakest links acting-wise for me were Meagan Good (as D.E.B. squad leader Max) and Devon Aoki (as thick-accented, hard-to-understand D.E.B. Dominique). Good was extremely wooden and rather unconvincing as the "smart" D.E.B. and Aoki was just annoying to listen to and treated as simply a "sex addict". And their characters really needed to be better and more fleshed out to help this film be better.A lot of reviews have compared this to CHARLIE'S ANGELS, maybe on the surface, but it reminded me more of movies like CLUELESS and MEAN GIRLS, without the wit and bite of those classic modern teen films. The "spy" parts, such as they are, just feel thrown in to make the movie seem like a riff on spy movies, but it doesn't have the feeling of a "spy" flick at all. It could just as easily be a teen romantic drama. The love story is daring and excellently done, but that's about it.
