D.E.B.S. is light and airy and frequently quite fun, yet one can't help but feel that the feature-length version is too little butter spread over too much toast. ...read the complete D.E.B.S. movie review at eFilmCritic.com (Scott Weinberg)

D.E.B.S. (2004) scores a combined 2.40 out of 4 stars for TV Guide's Movie Guide (Ken Fox)TV Guide's Movie Guide (Ken Fox)
Something supremely silly yet slyly subversive: a gay girl-power romance in skimpy exploitation clothing. ...read the complete D.E.B.S. movie review at TV Guide's Movie Guide (Ken Fox)
D.E.B.S. (2004) scores a combined 2.00 out of 4 stars for Globe and Mail (Jennie Punter)Globe and Mail (Jennie Punter)
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. ...read the complete D.E.B.S. movie review at Globe and Mail (Jennie Punter)

Even if it doesn't add up to a whole lot, the movie is content to tickle you gently more than jab you in the ribs. These days, that's saying a lot. Alas. ...read the complete D.E.B.S. movie review at Newsday (Gene Seymour)

I didn’t know what quite to expect from watching D.E.B.S. for the first time. So, it looks like a group of college girls who double as CIA assassins, right? OK, I can buy that, I mean, I’m a fan of Alias, so I can dig it. You’ve got Amy (Sara Foster, ...read the complete D.E.B.S. movie review at UpcomingDiscs.com (Ryan Keefer)

Somewhat like watching the Disney Channel’s girl-power prime-time lineup through a muddled exploitation-lite filter, D.E.B.S. is a patently ridiculous teen-spies scenario that’s played mostly for laughs but oddly enough only works when ...read the complete D.E.B.S. movie review at filmcritic.com (Chris Barsanti)

Alas, the movie isn't nearly as amusing as its premise, but it's refreshingly different from most run-of-the-mill teenage fare. ...read the complete D.E.B.S. movie review at Christian Science Monitor (David Sterritt)
D.E.B.S. (2004) scores a combined 1.60 out of 4 stars for The Onion (A.V. Club) (Nathan Rabin)The Onion (A.V. Club) (Nathan Rabin)
An incorrigible tease. It baits its audience with the promise of fluffy, light-footed cotton-candy fare, but delivers a clumsy, talky, indifferently filmed lesbian romance. ...read the complete D.E.B.S. movie review at The Onion (A.V. Club) (Nathan Rabin)

This forced spoof seems to be targeted at lesbian couples and hetero men with severe schoolgirl fetishes; that may be a legitimate market, but I'd hate to be sitting between them. ...read the complete D.E.B.S. movie review at Chicago Reader (J.R. Jones)

Dress it up with all the kitsch in the world, this is still just a lesbian falling-in-love story, and not a very interesting one at that. The characters are two-dimensional parody characters, trapped in a movie that doesn't know how to do parody. ...read the complete D.E.B.S. movie review at The Land of Eric (Eric D. Snider)

Supposedly the selling feature of D.E.B.S. (an acronym for Discipline, Energy, Beauty, Strength), which debuted as a short at the Sundance Film Festival, was its description as a lesbian/teen send-up of Charlie's Angels.
