D.E.B.S.: Far-fetched, yet Endearing [****]

Throwback. I’m a personal fan of women who kick ass and maintain their femininity in the process (or women who kick ass and don’t give a damn about femininity). But D.E.B.S. accomplishes the former. This hilarious movie is making Lady’s list because of the sexy Jordana Brewster. Formerly a Tommy Hilfiger model, I first laid eyes on this sexy Brazilian temptress as Vin Diesel’s baby sis in The Fast and the Furious (2001). Three years later and all I can say is her role in D.E.B.S. is a step up. I’m not biased… promise.

I have to admit, D.E.B.S. is definitely a movie you have to be in the right mood for. It’s goofy, over the top and deliberately bad. The plot centers on teen-spy prodigy Amy (Sara Foster), who leads a squad of scantily clad spies, played by Devon Aoki (badass), Jill Ritchie (“dipshit”), and Meagan Good (swoon…!). It is the girls’ mission to capture super-villain Lucy Diamond (Brewster), but of course, opposites attract. Drama ensues. Yada, yada, yada. Watch the movie.

The romance between Amy and Lucy is heartwarming and not as over the top as this movie would have you think. From Lucy’s desperate attempts to find a dating scene to the long chats in bed with the one that finally floats her boat, D.E.B.S. doesn’t have to beg me for a solid four stars out of five.
