Critic Reviews

Duane Byrge

Splashed and accessorized with brainy nonsense, "D.E.B.S." is a "H.O.O.T." Read full review

Staff (Not credited)

Cute, campy and as proudly insubstantial as its heroines' micro-miniskirts, D.E.B.S. deftly fulfills its Jane Bond fantasies without so much as breaking a nail. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Ken Fox

The terrific soundtrack, which includes the Only Ones' "Another Girl, Another Planet" and New Order's most excellent "Temptation," is heavily weighted towards the '80s, which is exactly as it should be. Read full review

Ruthe Stein

A lumpy concoction. Read full review

David Sterritt

Alas, the movie isn't nearly as amusing as its premise, but it's refreshingly different from most run-of-the-mill teenage fare. Read full review

Ernest Hardy

Doesn't live up to its genre-crossing, parodic ambitions. Read full review

Owen Gleiberman

The movie has no wit, no charm, no cleverness, no traction. Simply put, it is no fun. Read full review

It is a parody of Charlies Angels and a charming love comedy with great humor. D.E.B.S is a secret service. They hire via the SAT which is a standardized test in the USA for college admission. Within there is a hidden system of questions that shows the potential of potential candidates that can or will be recruited. A team of 4 female agents with high scores in the test was formed and trained in the DEBS academy for being spies. The girls have different personalities, goals and worldviews which causes some struggles. The protagonist Amy was also the first and only person who archived a perfect score in the hidden test (She is famous for this). The story starts when the team is assigned to observe and arrest the world famous supercriminal Lucy Diamond who has a meeting with the infamous Russian female assassin Ninotchka Kaprova which could be the beginning of a disastrous plan. What they do not know is that it is actually a blind date that already became awkward. After they try to arrest Lucy things got a bit messy leaving Amy and Lucy alone for a few moments. They share a few friendly words as Amy's senior thesis is about Lucy before Lucy makes her escape. This is the beginning of great and humorous love story as both women feel attracted to each other. Like I already said in the first sentence this is the make or break point. You will either love this heartwarming star crossed lovers tale or find it a silly and cheesy mess. I love this movie even if I can see why others find it silly. Normally I would have not watched it as the title sounded dumb or not interesting but by zapping through the channels I stopped there at the start where they should observe Lucy Diamond. The movie won me over there instantly and I watched it with great enjoyment. The humor works really great and it is a heartwarming love-story. The characters deliver a good performance by genre standard. Sara Foster as Amy Bradshaw made a great performance as she struggles with many things. Lucy Diamond played by Jordana Brewster is a great villainness. She is more the playful trickster like type and not really chaotic evil. The two work so well together in this movie. The rest delivers with Meagan Good as teamleader Max Brewer, Devon Aoki as Dominique and Jill Ritchie as Janet. It is hard for them as a team as they are a bit different characters. For the other side characters I want to praise Jimmi Simpson as Scud who is Lucy's right hand man and best friend and Holland Taylor as Ms. Petrie the leader of D.E.B.S. Overall this movie surprised me and won me over easily. I repeat that you either love or hate it or maybe becomes a guilty pleasure. For me it was entertaining, humorous and a great love story.… Expand

This film works when viewed with an open heart and with your sense of humour switched on. On one level a warm gentle lesbian love story, and on another a really good example of a genre that works best when (as here) it doesn't take itself too seriously. Total fun.

People get it or don't get it. It's a light hearted spoof, doesn't take it'self serious movie, played for campy fun and a smile on your face. I found it a hoot in some places and put a smile on my face for the most part.

Caught it on cable with absolutely no prior knowledge of the movie. Laughed out loud! (Sang out loud to "A Little Respect"). The movie is cute, funny, and romantic. All 4 lead D.E.B.S. are a hoot (Sara Foster maybe least so), and Jordana Brewster is perfect. Bought it immediately on DVD, Caught it on cable with absolutely no prior knowledge of the movie.

Bought it immediately on DVD, and pop it in whenever we're in the mood for a fun movie. I guess it's a guilty pleasure, because it's on most critics' "worst" lists, but it's on my personal "best" list... (for the record - I'm not a lesbian, my whole family likes it, and my daughter swiped it when whe went off to college.)… Expand
