D.E.B.S.

The same flat joke gets endlessly repeated throughout D.E.B.S, which centers around an elite, girls’ spy school for high schoolers: every cliched James Bond moment is undercut by discussions involving fashion or boyfriends. The amped-up sexuality – schoolgirl skirts, a lesbian subplot – makes the tone decidedly adult, yet the movie itself is purely adolescent. Writer-director Angela Robinson, expanding on her own short film, clearly has an indpendent film’s budget, but not its creative spirit.
