D.E.B.S.
I'll admit it, I had fun watching D.E.B.S. because of my affinity for pretty young things in short skirts, with high powered guns, using funny gadgets to detect and locate, after arch criminals. The movie almost has no ugly person in it's cast.
Sara Foster, who I know from the Owen Wilson comedy caper THE BIG BOUNCE, is a celebrated agent in the DEBS spy school because she scored high on her SIA test, a perfect score at that. DEBS are after a serial bank robber known as Lucy Diamond(the gorgeous Jordana Brewster)and Foster encounters the criminal mastermind in the act of running away as the agents pursue her.
What happens next is how D.E.B.S. kept my attention (besides the beautiful young actresses in the cast), Foster and Brewster fall for each other and their lesbian feelings cause the complications which separate an established leader from those she represents as she must somehow choose between her role as a crimefighter and the criminal she loves.
This has colorful visuals and a pace that zips along, but is ultimately a PG-13 lesbian comedy dealing with the complexities of love and how two must overcome the odds in order to develop the relationship both yearn for.
I love how Foster and Brewster purposely concoct a "kidnapping" scheme where a heroine is supposedly held captive by a diabolical master criminal, whose reputation has given Lucy Diamond a moniker of "dangerous killer". Diamond is so feared, kids sitting at a table in a club move quickly as to avoid certain death. If anything, Lucy Diamond is a superb thief who can evade even the most sophisticated security systems(a funny gag is how easily Diamond can penetrate the security set up for DEBS' headquarters).
I like how she's willing to return all she has stolen just in order to express her love for Foster. It's an adorable affair between the two, safe in it's depiction(the most we ever see is the two kissing each other, and rolling around on a bed)of such a lesbian relationship. Gosh, you couldn't have two more lovely girls in such a relationship as Foster and Brewster..I fawn and sigh as I see their eyes lock, lips meet. Megan Good is the DEBS agent who doesn't respond well when Foster is chosen over her as the new leader of their gang, dedicated to the agency and respects the entitlement of being a member.
LOVE Jordana Brewster
