\"DEBS\"<\/a>I wasn’t expecting a masterpiece with “DEBS”, and when I was done, I received just what I was expecting. I’ve seen material that have spoofed the spy genre with women from “Charlie’s Angels” and “She-Spies”, and “DEBS” doesn’t stand out among the others. In spite of its homosexual twist, it’s still the same old trash we’re exposed to that attempts to be clever and tongue-in-cheek, when really it’s basically just tired and yawn-inducing.<\/p>\n

Now, I’ve seen the original short film, and as far as that went, it was low in brains and entertainment value, but it was interesting. For a short film. Now when you take that and expand it in to a really pointless and mind numbing ninety minutes, those admirable brainless qualities, just become a lame, vain attempt to cash in. There’s really nothing given to us here that we haven’t already seen created a dozen times on film and television. Now if you want a good spoof of female spy flicks, watch the short-lived television series “She-Spies”.<\/p>\n

Usually, watching hot girls with guns in schoolgirl outfits, a few of whom happen to be lesbian. would really make me giddy, but oddly enough, I wasn’t. “DEBS” surpasses all sexual appeal because it’s brainless, and incredibly unfunny. There’s not a single gag here that sparked a chuckle or a smile from me, and though I wanted to enjoy the scenery, I couldn’t get over the rotting stench in the air. “DEBS” also consists of pretty bad acting from Foster and Brewster, an odd walk-on role from Michael Clarke Duncan, vapid characters, Aoki doing a horrible French accent, and really crappy choreography that surpassed laughable and delved in to painful.<\/p>\n

“DEBS” is schlock, and not the good kind, it’s the painful, stupid, and horribly uncomfortable schlock that will garner it a surefire spot on the ninety-nine cent bin at your local video store. I’ll surely be shocked if “DEBS” has a shelf life of two years. In spite of the glowing presences of Aoki and Brewster, “DEBS” is a really cheesy, and stale effort in spy comedy that’s been done a million times and never really amounts to anything comedic or entertaining.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
