This 90-minute spy parody involves a secret crime-fighting unit made up of sexy schoolgirls Amy (Sara Foster), Dominique (Devon Aoki), Janet (Jill Ritchie), and Max (Meagan Good). A government agency recruited them for the team based on their standardized test scores, which assumed a propensity for lying and thieving. Their assignment is to take down major villain Lucy Diamond (Jordana Brewster). As it turns out, all she really wants to have an illicit affair with D.E.B.S. leader Amy. Michael Clarke Duncan plays the president of D.E.B.S. Academy. D.E.B.S. was shown at the Sundance Film Festival in 2004. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, Rovi

Critic Reviews
-
Stephen Hunter, Washington Post
It's so spoofy it's difficult to call 'good' or even 'bad'; just say it's smooth.
-
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper
Is it a satire of stupid movies? Is it just a stupid movie?
-
Susan Walker, Toronto Star
Only the world of X-rated movies overlooks such flimsiness of plot, absence of acting talent, cheap special effects, banal dialogue and scantily clad young women.
-
Jennie Punter, Globe and Mail
The most endearing aspect of D.E.B.S., a sweet-spirited spoof, is that the lesbian romance is played for real, with no nudge-nudge wink-wink irony.
-
Ruthe Stein, San Francisco Chronicle
A prime example of a dispiriting trend: movies whose primary point of reference is other movies.
