Shrewdly concocted by codirectors Harry Elfont and Deborah Kaplan, this wildly comedic update of the Archie comic book (and early-'70s cartoon show) is a deliriously entertaining assault on pop-cultural flotsam, with a disposable boy-band (aptly named "Du Jour") and cross-product marketing ploys that perpetuate blind conformity among gullible teens. Blatant product placements dominate virtually every colorful scene as Josie gamely embraces the cultural blight it claims to criticize, but this isn't Hollywood hypocrisy. Elfont and Kaplan willfully bite the hand that feeds them, and they're having loads of fun while advocating independent opinion. Cook and her pals are more honestly sexy than Britney Spears, and they make genuinely catchy music (although Cook's vocals were dubbed). It's pure fluff, but Josie and the Pussycats was conceived in such high spirits that it's hard to imagine how it could be improved. Even the obligatory end-credit outtakes are utterly irresistible. --Jeff Shannon

Customer Reviews of Josie and the Pussycats (PG Version)
Hilarious...a "take that" to the industries of music and advertising... I love this movie, which is funny in itself since when it came out I had no interest in seeing it. I didn't think that I could relate to it at all until my curiousity got the better of me when nothing else was on cable. I was more than pleasantly surprised. I work in advertising, so the way they made fun of things "Orange is the new pink!" and the blatant placement of logos and branding was something I could totally relate to. I also like that it pokes much fun at the kind of music that kids (dare I call them kids...I'm not that much older...well, I guess I am now) these days tend to listen to. Groups that pop up overnight with some craptacular tune that those of us with any sense of taste would never listen to. This movie makes fun of everything I make fun of and I love it for that. I also love Parker Posey and her presentation...it's well worth watching for that alone!
Not that worthy of 5 stars
This movie was really good had it not been for the way out there plot and some of the acting was horrible. Rachael did a good job as did Tara and Rosario but the rest of the actors tanked.

>The movie was about the three cartoon characters from Josie and the Pussycats and in the movie the band was being pimped to sell trends to the youth of America. Now Josie, Mel, and Val must save the youth and themselves from the mean Fiona and her partner in crime Wyatt.

>Also I loved the romance between Josie and Alan M. It was so beliveable to watch. And the effects were awesome but also silly at the same time.

>If it weren't for the acting and effects I might've gave this movie one star.

Silly Fun
Ok, if you're looking for a high-brow, upscale, artistic masterpiece you're not going to find it here. On the other hand, if you're looking for a light-hearted bit of fun, then you've got the right movie.
