Lacking enough material for a full-length movie, D.E.B.S. is short on both plot and laughs.

Filmmaker Angela Robinson writes and directs the action comedy D.E.B.S., a feature-length adaptation of her award-winning short film produced by a grant from POWER UP (Professional Organization of Women in Entertainment Reaching Up). 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

It's so spoofy it's difficult to call 'good' or even 'bad'; just say it's smooth.
Is it a satire of stupid movies? Is it just a stupid movie?
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.
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.
A prime example of a dispiriting trend: movies whose primary point of reference is other movies.
Those who are hoodwinked into leaving home for such deliberate mediocrity may get a sense that the movie's biggest joke is at their expense.
Cartoonish Charlie's Angels with lesbians.
Pretty disarming overall, and has a nicely satiric edge to it.
It still has some of the fun jokes and the carefree, slam-bang premise, but lacks the punch of its predecessor.
It's corny, clichéd, and often an absolute hoot.
Fans of spy thrillers, light rom-coms, and/or the homosexual sub-culture will most likely find something to enjoy here.
It's campy, but it isn't a camp classic.
With the fun, nonstop momentum of a Saturday morning cartoon, D.E.B.S. makes you forgive most of its shortcomings.
It wants to be funny, or, failing that, at least fun, and yet it is neither.
Great sexual tension no matter who she's up against, guy or girl...
The material feels stretched thin over feature length, and indeed, it was a short film first and should've stayed that way
Works perfectly well as a 10-minute short film (with four of those minutes consumed by the opening and closing credits), but flunks out as a 91-minute feature.
A crazy Charlies Angels meets Heathers meets any number of strange movies with a beautiful cast. Oh yeah and it has Jordana Brewster in it which that alone was enough for me to watch the whole thing. Actually not that bad considering. Was a cute little movie.
