D.E.B.S. (2004)
1/10
Harmless Fun
26 August 2006
The D.E.B.S. are beautiful co-eds recruited to become government agents against crime and terrorism. Problems arise within the leading D.E.B.S team when their leader Amy (Sara Foster) falls for the evil Lucy Diamond (Jordana Brewster). But is the agency upset that she's fraternizing with the enemy or the fact that she may be turning a lesbian?

D.E.B.S is a harmless movie that's worth checking out if you're looking for a fun break from reality. The premise is pretty silly but the film still works. Director Angela Robinson did a decent job behind the camera. She kept a consistent tone that was light and breezy with a few charming scenes. Some scenes in the film was really cheesy but it wasn't over-the-top cheesy that the movie became unbearable.

Unfortunately, Angela Robinson didn't do a good job with the screenplay. The dialog was really lame at times, even by cheesy standards. The story was also too stupid at times even when compared to Charlie's Angels. Also, she really only focused on Lucy and Amy while the rest of the characters were all one-dimensional. The main focus got a little dull at times and a subplot could have helped out.

Besides for Jordana Brewster, the acting was pretty average. Fortunately, Jordana gave a pretty good performance as Lucy Diamond. I didn't really like her in Annapolis but she was surprisingly good in this movie. Also, she's very beautiful. Sara Foster was kind of dull and she only gave an average performance. Meagan Good was okay, nothing special. Devon Aoki was just annoying and not funny. The rest of the performances were bland and they aren't worth mentioning. I don't think the film is worth renting but if it's on television and there's nothing else on then it's worth watching. In the end, D.E.B.S is just some harmless fluff, nothing more or less. Rating 6/10
