I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

I can't believe this movie was made in 2001. It seriously has a sense of humor that feels so modern. You can just picture the memes and gifs that would come from this nowadays.Anyways, the plot is absurd, but pretty funny. The music is catchy. The characters are ridiculous and the villains are amazing. Only thing that holds this back from being a perfect movie is Tara Reid. They needed a smart actor to play someone so dumb, but, you know, it's just Tara Reid being Tara Reid..

Josie and the Pussycats (2001): Dir: Harry Elfont, Deborah Kaplan / Cast: Rachael Leigh Cook, Tara Reid, Rosario Dawson, Alan Cumming, Parker Posey: One of those numb founded ideas that dares viewers to remain until the end. The Pussycats are a girl band used to brainwash people in a scheme by Alan Cumming as a record producer. This all leads up to a pathetic fight sequence with an impersonator making an ass of himself. It is amazing that it took two directors to put this crap together. Deborah Kaplan and Harry Elfont previously directed the teen bore Can't Hardly Wait. They prove to great measures that if one director can make films as stupid as Head Over Heels and The Adventures of Joe Dirt, then two directors should be capable of bigger embarrassments. Rachael Leigh Cook, Tara Reid and Rosario Dawson play the trio of morons in the band. They are the reason special education classes were invented. Cumming is capable of much better and should have known better. Parker Posey also shows up in this garbage because her career wasn't far enough in the crapper yet. This is the kind of film one leaves out in the sun just to see whether it will be damaged. After all, it wouldn't put anyone out of anything of worth. The only area of compliment is its reference to pop culture but the film is cheesy and foolishly idiotic with a band that makes more noise than music. Score: 1 / 10

Record industries inserts subliminal messages into music so that they can make teenagers do nothing but buy whatever is requested. Whenever a musician or band finds out the truth, the record company silences them to keep the truth from coming out. When boy band DuJour discover this, their manager, Wyatt, has the plane they are flying in crash, and leaves him looking for a new band to use for evil schemes. Enter Josie and the Pussycats, a small band who wants to make it to the big top. When they are discovered by Wyatt, they give in and become big rock stars. But will they find out that they are just pawns for the record industry or will fame take them over......Cruelly overlooked on initial release, this film is a damning satire on product placement, which manages to fit placement into almost every scene. It kind of defeats the purpose, but its intentionally hilarious.It's camp from beginning to end, and I can imagine that many on here have given it a low rating because they are ashamed to admit this film is rather good, but hey, life's too short, and its a lively fun movie, that doesn't hurt with the fact that Leigh Cooke is beautiful to look at and makes the film really easy on the eye.Read between the lines of the film, it really does stick a big middle finger up to teens and manufactured bands who clog up media attention one minute, and disappear next.It's very topical, and I for one feel that this movie should be shown to teenagers between the ages of 13 to 18, to be used as a warning that these boy bands, girl groups are just there to make you buy lots of poorly made goods at stupid prices.Actually, this film is probably based on true events.Hilarious and probably kryptonite to Simon Cowell.

It looks like just about every cartoon series is being transformed into a film. Some examples include The Flintstones, Scooby Doo and Josie And The Pussycats. Some were good and some were bad.The film is about a boy band named Dujor whose manager named Wally played by Alan Cummingss thinks that the band died in a plane crash and has to find a new band. He stumbles upon a band called The Pussycats that consist of 3 members, Josie played by Rachael Leigh Cook, Valerie play by Rosario Dawson, and Melody played by Tara Reid who are quickly turned famous overnight now calling themselves Josie And The Pussycats. Liitle do they. Know that all of their songs contain subliminal messages that take over the minds of who ever is listening.This was actually not that bad. The good things I Have to say: The 3 main characters are fun to watch, Dujor is also pretty funny, the cameos are put to good use and the story is not that bad. I also like how the movie over does everything and basically makes fun of itself. However Missi Pyle is awful as always, the plot is tired and recycled and the movie is surprisingly raunchy for an adaptation of a children's cartoon. I have not seen the family version but I am pretty sure they cut a lot out. I still say check it out though.Rated PG-13 For Language And Mild Sensuality.1hr 39min/99min.***/****
