D.E.B.S. is the first film with a positive lesbian message to be rated PG-13 making it actually accessible to teenagers. It is a wonderful and very funny movie. The romance between the two teens is woven in as part of the storyline in a very funny way that is part of the whole spy plot and doesn't make a big deal about it, it's just not an issue. Because of that I would say this film is great for straight kids to be more comfortable with their gay and lesbian pals. And also very important for gay and lesbian teens to see images of themselves on screen and experience the validation and happiness that comes from that. If your kids have seen pretty much any Disney movie for tweens that includes the concept of boys and girls having crushes on each other they can handle this. In fact, if they've seen HERBIE FULLY LOADED they'll be thrilled to see that this movie is by the same director (and this one is vastly superior).

Girl Power with a Lesbian Twist!
The film is a funny lesbian romantic comedy, masked as a girl-action movie, well suited for teenagers of both sexes. This is the feature-length version of an equally funny short film with a more explicit content. Even though adults might find the film silly, it offers plenty of opportunities to play with deeper meanings--but you must be willing to read between the lines. There is nothing offensive for either teenagers or adults. Don't miss the special features in the DVD!
