Customer Reviews of D.E.B.S. (Special Edition)

"D.E.B.S." is "B.A.D."
What does a movie like "D.E.B.S." tell us about society? At first glance you might think not much, but if you just think about it it is very revealing in how far we have come to the roles women can play in movies. <
> <
> Think about it. How often have we been told if a woman were president there would be no wars? Women are against violence and war. They are more peaceful and gentle. Women in movies and society are generally seen as the victims and men the hunters. But look around you and you will start to notice people are starting to realize women are human beings and they too lie, steal, cheat, and kill. Watch "Desperate Housewives" or "Sex in the City". Women are being present in films and television as far more aggressive and assertive. <
> <
> But where does a movie like "D.E.B.S." stand in relation to all of this? It may in fact be helpful in the broad scheme of things, but as far as a movie goes it's pretty bad. I guess the basic idea here was to be a spy spoof, something along the lines of "Charlie's Angels" (yet another example of this recent trend of women's roles) and mix it up with a lesbian comedy. <
> <
> "D.E.B.S." are a secret group of spies that were chosen for their ability to lie. They are college students, all girls, who discovered that there is a secret test given on the S.A.T.'s that will determine if you are capable of being part of the group. <
> <
> The "D.E.B.S." biggest talent is Amy Bradshaw, she scored a perfect 100 on her test. But Amy is having personal problems. She doesn't know what she should do with her life. She doesn't want to be a spy. She is having problems with her boyfriend whom she just doesn't love. And then she is given an assignment. "D.E.B.S" must find Lucy Diamond (Jordana Brewster) a world famous villian. <
> <
> When Amy and Lucy meet, Amy was chasing after her trying to arrest her, they fall in love. Here is where the lesbian element comes in. Soon Amy is now put in a position of what to do. Should she stay loyal to the "D.E.B.S." or see if this is true love? <
> <
> The movie's biggest flaw with the movie for me was I just didn't care. I don't care about Amy or Lucy or any of the other characters in this movie. They are broad stereotypes, which I suppose is what the movie wants them to be. But even so, they are boring to watch. I understand a movie such as this isn't going to dwell deep into these characters lives. That's fine. I understand there isn't going to be much of a personal involvment. But the movie could have at least done us the service of being funny. I didn't laugh once. The entire film seems brain dead. The dialogue is terrible, the acting second rate, the directing sloppy. <
> <
> If the movie's aim was to be a spoof us spy movies, you have to play it real. The movie knows that it is a comedy because nothing seems real. No one is playing this as if it were a reality. We know these characters do not exist. But if they were going to make fun of spy movies they should have played it real and let the situations speak for themselves. What I mean is have the situation be funny not having the characters know they are in a funny situation. <
> <
> But am I taking this movie too serious? I don't think so. I probably would have excused everything if only the movie had been funny. I'm sure there is an audience for this movie. And some day, if it doesn't already, it will have a cult status, but in the end the movie belongs to a club I simply don't want to be a member of. <
> <
> Bottom-line: Unbelieveably boring, brain dead movie that didn't make me laugh once. The movie knows it is a comedy and breaks any chance of us caring about what we are watching so instead we go along moment to moment waiting for this nightmare to end.

Sweet film about 2 very different gals fallin in love
I liked this campy spy film with a lesbian twist but I wished that the storyline would have had a LOT more physical (sexual) and emotional intimacy and interaction between the two female leads (the bad girl Lucy Diamond, played by Jordana Brewster, and good girl Amy, played by Sara Foster.) <
> <
>In a nutshell, this film is about a secret spy agency called the DEBS (who all happen to be very beautiful girls in their early 20's.) DEB agents all over the world wear very short plaid skirts, carry very big guns, and look like Catholic school girls and fight the evil-doers of the world but somehow no blood is spilt. One of the arch criminals the DEBS have been after for years is Lucy Diamond, who has been lying low for several years. When the film opens, four of DEBS, including Amy (who is a dead ringer for a young Uma Thurman) learns that the dangerous and deadly Lucy Diamond is rendezvousing with a Russian assassin and they are sent to capture her. The audience quickly learns that Lucy is not out to arrange an assassination or commit a crime but is instead looking for love in all the wrong places. The audience also quickly learns that Amy has been fascinated by Lucy for a long time and is even writing her thesis on Lucy. After the inevitable shoot out between the DEBS and Lucy, Amy and Lucy somehow end up alone with pistols aimed at each other. From the get-go, there is palatable sexual attraction between the two. The remainder of the film follows the smitten Lucy chasing after Amy, while Amy spends much of the film trying to deny her romantic feelings for Lucy, the bad girl. Classic storyline. <
> <
>Again, I liked this film although it was very tame (meaning no gratuitous violence, no nudity, no blood or guts, and especially NO sexual love scenes between Lucy and Amy.) The two gals in fact only kissed a few times and this very much reminded me of one of those John Hughes movies from the 1980's, such as 16 Candles or Weird Science. If this film had a guy and gal kissing instead of two gals kissing, I would have given this film a G rating. <
> <
>If Angela Robinson ever makes another film with the kind of funding she got for this film, I hope she actual puts real lesbian love scenes in the movie, something beyond a few kisses. As for DEBS, I so wanted to see a love scene between the gorgeous Amy and stunning Lucy and I'm bummed that I didn't see it in this one. <
> <
>As an aside, I also also liked this film because the gal who plays Lucy Diamond looks a lot like my very first lover and it freaked me out and the shock of seeing someone who looked like my first makes this film a keeper to me :)

Yes, it's campy... but it's GOOD campy!
I will admit that if this film involved a boy/girl relationship I wouldn't have enjoyed it near as much as I did. But it involved two pretty girls instead, and the two actresses (Jordana Brewster & Sara Foster) were both beautiful and excellently cast in their respective roles! The villainous Lucy Diamond (Brewster) is both sexy and amusing, and her crush on pretty blonde Amy Bradshaw (Foster) was both believable and surprisingly erotic! I found myself wishing there was an NC-17 rated version of this film with even more of their intimate moments together sans clothing! Alas, that's not the case, but if you like seeing two very pretty girls kissing eachother and aren't offended by a campy, silly-yet-funny plot, then this video is definitely one you really need to check out!
