Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Rotten
Is it a satire of stupid movies? Is it just a stupid movie?
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper
Rotten
Only the world of X-rated movies overlooks such flimsiness of plot, absence of acting talent, cheap special effects, banal dialogue and scantily clad young women.
Susan Walker, Toronto Star
Fresh
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.
Jennie Punter, Globe and Mail
Rotten
A prime example of a dispiriting trend: movies whose primary point of reference is other movies.
Ruthe Stein, San Francisco Chronicle
