When I first bought the DVD I was fairly skeptical I would like it, it sounded very popcorn but as almost everything else about my first impressions, I was very wrong. I fell immediately in love with the movie. I loved it from the word go. It was popcorn and eyecandy and that is why I love it. It was like Charlie's Angels with a twist.

The twist being, the two romantic leads are girls.

That totally blew me away.

It was kinda like Buffy on extreme valley girl steroids. It was *fun*!

I love how the girls were the centerpiece of the movie and not just the girlfriend, sister or what have you, and its the boys who were the background. And I love, love, Jordana Brewster in this movie. She has become my total girlcrush in this piece.

I dare any one, straight or not, to be unaffected by her performance as Lucy Diamond. Whenever she was on scene the others faded in the background, except for her perennial sidekick, the side splitting straightman, Scud. I think one movie review referred to Brewster as dangerously sleek, which she was.

You can certainly understand how, Amy, who before Lucy, never indicated an attraction to girls. Lucy is like every straight woman's Angelina Jolie. Only, more *fun*.

Another thing I liked about the movie is that it didn't make a big deal that Amy and Lucy were in a relationship because they were girls, I like how the conflict wasn't based on that but because Lucy was a Badass Master Criminal and Amy was the poster child of the Super Spy school.

Plus, the whole movie didn't just revolve around Amy and Lucy, the supporting cast had stories of their own. Max (Megan Goode) was the tough girl with heart and a boat load of ambition that drove her to become the captain of the DEB squad, there's Dominique (Devon Aoki), as the French/Japanese exchange student who's love for boys is rivalled only her fetish for big guns and cigarettes, then there's Janet (Jill Ritchie), the prissy member of the team who had yet to earn her stripes but, someone who, of all the DEBS believed in what they were doing and had by the end of the movie, earned the stripes, learned to lighten up wand and fall in love with Lucy's no. 1 sidekick, Scud.

The film is all in light hearted fun, expecting more than that is not the point of the movie, but if your in it for the fun and your mind is open enough you will enjoy this film and love it. Its not that its dumb, but its more like, the first season of Buffy, camp and popcorn and some unexpected developments that will make you love it even more.
