Summary: didn't disillusion this fan of the cartoon series
Review: When I first heard they were coming out with a live action version of "Josie and the Pussycats", my reaction was dread. Recently, I had been disillusioned by other new projects featuring old favorites, such as Scooby-Doo and Pocahontas II. I'm not a fan of the original Archie label Josie comics, but I do love the Hanna-Barbera cartoon, and was worried how they might treat the characters.
Imagine my relief when the live action film didn't disillusion me! I didn't think it was a classic movie, but I came out of the theater happy. Melody acts like Melody-flighty and innocent. Josie and Valerie have more depth, but don't seem alien to the cartoon characters. Valerie now plays bass instead of tambourine; however, and no mention is made of her genius with electronic gadgets. Alexandra translates very well. Alan looks like Hanna-Barbera's Alan in the face, but his body is skinnier. A take charge leader in the cartoon series, the new live action Alan seems spaced out, like a stereotype surfer dude.
I was most concerned about Alexander, my favorite character. Hanna-Barbera's Alex is cowardly but friendly, whereas Archie's Alex is snobbish-the main reason I can't get fanatically into the Archie version of "Josie and the Pussycats", even though the Archie version came first. Which way would Alex act in the live action film, I wondered. He doesn't really act either way, although missing one of the band's gigs made him seem just a little preoccupied with himself. Then there's one odd incident-I won't give you the context, but it's not sexual-in which he strips himself bare. Not feeling either snobby or cowardly today, I see!
Comparisons with the Hanna-Barbera cartoon aside, something others have remarked upon is how the film seems to promote anti-commercialism and not listening to hype, yet it has product placement to the extreme. It's like the film is saying, "Buy this! Or...maybe don't buy it! We don't know!"
Another complaint I have with the film is that it had enough profanity in to make it a PG-13. It's inspired by a G-rated, kid-friendly comic book and TV show! Why does it have to be PG-13? Having just a little sensuality to make it a PG would have been better. Still, it was mostly the bad guys who swore.
All in all, it's a fun film. And it didn't spoil my memories of Josie and friends that I had from the Hanna-Barbera cartoon, so that to me made the film good enough.

Summary: real girl power!
Review: This is a GREAT movie. Melody is one of the best characters, she is funny and cheerful. Perfect for a herd of 10-11 year old girl slumber party movie-goers!

Summary: reminds me of those not really movies by the olsen twins
Review: I bought this yesterday, expecting it to be a great movie, packed with great music and a great cast. I got something that I hate getting, a movie that turns out to be one of those not so appealing ones, the kind you get from Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. I like their movies but it's the kind that they usually stop in the middle and explain to us because the movie isn't all that great. Cheap entertainment. I got the same thing from this. It's a good movie, a lot of surprises, but overall, not all that great. Spend your money on a movie you know will be good, this one just isn't worth it.

Summary: Smart and funny
Review: While promoted as just another teen rock band comedy, Josie and the Pussycats is smart and sly, as well as being genuinely funny. A satire on the prevalent band-as-marketing-tool phenomenon, the movie lets the audience know what it is in for from the very first scenes, featuring a Backstreet Boys-type boy band surrounded by a veritable plethora of product placement logos. Using real companies' logos helps drive the message home, though it's important to point out--as the filmmakers do on their commentary track--that the companies did not pay to have their logos used, keeping the film from being too hypocritical. Obviously, the movie isn't any too subtle advocating free will over following what's popular, but it's such a likeable movie, that doesn't really matter. As Josie, Rachel Leigh Cook is perfectly cast, projecting an air of genuine caring towards her friends. Rosario Dawson, as the constantly neglected black Pussycat, makes her character about more than just her race, and thus makes the racist attitudes seem so much more unreasonable. Tara Reid, as dumb blonde Melody, adds so much charm to her performance that the character comes across as more than just an object of ridicule. And Alan Cumming and Parker Posey are delightfully over the top as the evil record company executives, who even manage to make themselves almost sympathetic at the end when their own hidden sides come to light. The extra features on this DVD are pretty nifty, though not the selling point. I particularly enjoyed the commentary from the filmmakers, proving that if you set your sights higher than a typical teen comedy, it will show in your work. This movie is so much better than it really has any right to be, and I'm glad I got a chance to see it.

Summary: Pussycats are smelling something fishy
Review: well, what can I say, although the movie is rated PG-13+ anyone can enjoy it from different angles. The movie kicks off with a boyband named 'Du-jour' which happens to be taking piss out of massed produced music industry. A garage band 'The Pussycats' is formed by three girls with very contrasting personalities was given an opportunity to become a rockstar and their debut single climbs up to the top of the chart in a matter of week. But there is something fishy happening behind the hidden curtain. The soundtrack for this movie contains indie pop almost like female version of Blink182, the main vocal is sung by Kay Hanley from Letters to Cleo. Each song is very catchy and provides energetic atmosphere. Extra features include behind the scene, deleted scenes and movie clips which I am sure will make you laugh. Directors' commentary explains the footage of the movie in detail and also fun to listen to.
Overall it is very fun movie to watch at any occasions. If you think it is just stupid, that's ok because it is a movie for people with GSOH.

Summary: Fast, fun, and upbeat... Some catchy pop with your popcorn
Review: Josie and the Pussycats is a very fun, very sweet film, with nice performances by all the leads. Parker Posey and Alan Cumming are laugh-out-loud hilarious as modern day "Doctor Evils" to the Pussycats. Cook, Dawson and Reid are equally engaging as the three members of the little band that could, and could in the best way - the music from this film is actually really catchy and it stays in your head long after the film ends. There must have been subliminal messages in there or something, because I really do want the soundtrack! Kudos to Babyface Edmonds for making some fabulous music! Watch this movie on a day when you want a nice, solid pick-me-up. It's a lot of good-hearted, harmless fun, and it will leave you with a smile on your face and a spring in your step. Very cute!!
