Plaid-skirted schoolgirls are groomed by a secret government agency to become the newest members of the elite national-defense group, D.E.B.S. This is the kind of film that i was going to actually hate but if you don't take it very seriously and you understand that is just a spoof and a parody of Spy Movies you might enjoy it but don't expect something like True Lies this is a movie about 2 girls falling in love and if it came out in 2017 everyone would loose their minds but overall i didn't think it was forced it was actually pretty okay with me because the film came out in 2004 and not 2017 so that's good plus the acting wasn't that bad either everyone tried but if there's a big problem with the movie was definitely the CGI which was pretty bad most of the times but like i said it was a good film.

With a poll coming up on IMDbs Classic Film board for the best movies of 2004,I remembered a list by UK film reviewer Kim Newman,where he had listed his top 20 straight to Video gems of the last 20 years.Searching round online,I eventually tracked down the list,and found it to contain a highlighted 2004 title,which led to me deciding that this would be the perfect time to meet Debs.The plot:Connected to a number of bank and jewel robberies,spy agency D.E.B.S has been desperate to capture master criminal Lucy Diamond,who has not been seen for years,and has gained a myth of killing anyone that catches a glimpse of her.Learning that Diamond is meeting up with Russian assassin Ninotchka,D.E.B.S. sends agents Amy,Max,Dominique and Janet, (along with Amy's ex-boyfriend Bobby)out to get the first ever photos of Diamond.Hanging above the café celling,Amy gets into a fight with Bobby,which leads to her bracelet falling into Diamonds bowl of soup! Realising that she has been spotted,Diamond starts to run away.Running ahead of her fellow D.E.B.S.,Amy gets hold of Diamond. Initially planning to arrest her on the spot,Amy finds the sight of Diamond to lead her to experiencing love at first sight for the first time,which leads to Amy deciding that this is a baddie that she cannot let D.E.B.S capture.View on the film:Based on a comic-strip that she would make for friends whilst waiting for her "serious" screenplays to be accepted, writer/director/editor Angela Robinson gives the title a dazzling pop-art shine,with Robinson giving each agent a unique fashion sense,and taking a smart, restrained approach to using slo-mo effects as a route to really bringing out the kitsch aspects of the movie.Along with a perfect Power Pop soundtrack,Robinson also shows the films comic-strip roots by using elegantly designed,painted background,which along with giving the flick an animated atmosphere,also creates a heightened sense of reality.Opening with the D.E.B.S agents in the middle of a mission,the screenplay by Robinson keeps the action moving at a whip-fast pace,with each agent being given a unique attribute to stand out,from the French Dominique being laid-back,to Janet being set to put herself in front of any danger,in order to become a "real" D.E.B.S. agent.Wrapping the film in a delightful animated kitsch atmosphere,Robinson delicately reveals the films heart,by painted the love between Amy & Diamond in a sweet-natured manner.Whilst Robinson shows the agency to be less than happy over Amy joining forces with a baddie,Robinson takes a refreshing approach to the sexuality of the (almost) all female-agency,thanks to Robinson making the lesbian relationships & bisexuality of the agents something that is completely normal,and treated with the same expert light-touch as the heterosexual relationships in the filmLooking extremely alluring in their sexy naughty school girl disguises,the stunning ensemble cast each give superb performances,with Meagan Good giving high-kicking agent Max a real slickness,whilst Sara Foster gives Amy's relationship with Diamond a tremendous warmth.Taking on the agents,the very pretty Jordana Brewster gives a great performance as Diamond,which goes from a lively boo-hiss streak,to Brewster displaying an excellent sincerity and innocence as she finds herself developing feelings for Amy,which leads to this being a movie which will make you really want to put on dibs on D.E.B.S.
