Summary: C'mon, it was funny
Review: Aside from the amazingly beautiful Rachael Leigh Cook, the movie was hilarious. This was one of the first satire films that I've seen in a long time (in fact, I don't recall ever seeing a satire from my generation). It was funny. That's the bottom line ... and Rachael Leigh Cook was in it. What more do you need to know?

Summary: Not so purrrrific!
Review: I enjoyed the acting. But overall the movie was stupid. I would of prefured the cartoon over the movie. It did have its funny moments. I would say little girls will love it. Teens could go eaither way. adults will hate it or think its cute. Wait for video for this one. I had seen so much promotion for it in magazines, tv, and radio and went to see it thinking about how great it was going to be. I ended up comeing out disapointed!

Summary: "Selling out" is a hard topic to tackle
Review: This movie made me realize that I'm getting old. I know that I'm sure most teenagers would find this movie hilarious and super cool, but I thought it was a complete waste of time. The two stars are strictly for the hot girls in it. I understand that the movie was trying to discuss the idea of fads and "selling out" in American today, but that's not really something you can do with a highly commercial movie like this. The ads plastered all over the movie making fun of ad placement doesn't make sense cause even if they are making fun, they're still placing ads for all those companies and are still getting free products or money for those huge advertisements. I also couldn't stand the fact that every 10 minutes they found some other reason to sing another song. Why? This wasn't Josie and the Pussycats. Josie and the Pussycats was like a female Scooby Doo. They should have just dropped the Hanna Barbara license and just made a movie about a band trying to make it. This would make the film less commercial and then there would be the huge advertising accompanying the movie, with posters, tv spots, billboards, toys, lunchboxes, and everything else the movie makes fun of!

Summary: The Worst Movie of 2001.
Review: Many people often look down on movies based on characters from the comics, and if you see this movie, the reputation is well founded. Tara Reid and Rachel Leigh Cook are awfully cast as members from a small town who try to make it on the big music tour, even if the music written for this movie makes a Heavy Metal band sound good. I tell you. I think Twisted Sister and White Wolf sing better songs, then the music lyrics heard on this film. Avoid it please.

Summary: Here Kitty, Kitty, Kitty
Review: Okay so I am a little older than the target audience for the film. But I have to say right off that Josie was FUN! I have been a fan of punk/power pop for over 25 years, and the music itself was marvellous. But when you add the funny, and campy story right out of the tv show, you have a winner! For those of you either too old or too young to have seen Josie on TV. Let me tell you that the story was something that would have been a great original episode of the series. Yes it was a little goofy, but that was the whole idea. It was something to enjoy, not critique. If you couldn't enjoy this film, you are either too darn old or just too serious to ever just have fun.

Summary: Josie, Mel Val-----PUSSYCATS ROCK!
Review: Wow. I saw the movie on Easter, and WoW! IF you didn't like this movie, what did you have to smoke to not like it? Yeah, so Tara Reid (starring as one of the Pussycats----Mel) had some dumb blonde jokes, but they made them seem hilarious! If you haven't seen this movie, I am telling you-----If you want some laffz, a good smile, and some hip music, you have to see this movie! Some people might say that it's a "chick flick", but my two brothers (remaining anonymous, 12 & 15) thought all they wanted to see was Josie (RLC) and Mel (TR) dance around in tiny, teensy-weensy, RAGS, but, afterwards, they were laffin, humming the music, and smiling. Yeah, they still thought Josie & Mel (and afterwards also Rosario Dawson, a.k.a. Val) were still "hot", but, they did like the movie. "I'm a trend pimp!" Josie says. If you want to know why she said that, then watch the movie! IT WAS THE BEST MOVIE! WATCH IT! (that's my seen-by-the-world-fake name!) Oh-kay, so i'll just put it down: In other words, I'm going to bring this ANONYMOUSLY!

Summary: Surprizingly clever movie
Review: I went to this movie expecting nothing more than to watch Rachel Leigh Cook (Josie) and Tara Ried (Mel) dance around on stage in skimpy outfits. Imagine my surprise one of the funniest opening scenes I have ever seen! From the boy band named "Du Jour" (I guarantee my roommate and I were the only 2 people in the entire theatre filled with 13 year old girls who got that joke) and their hit single "Backdoor Lover" to the rediculous product placements and government conspiracy to put subliminal messages and advertisements in our music, thereby controlling trends and keeping teenagers buying the next best thing. Younger viewers who don't necissarily get the humor will enjoy the music and the unbelieveable plotline and love story while older viewers will enjoy the hilarious and almost plausible hyperbole of the conspiracy.

Summary: Bad Ktty Baaaaaaad Kitty!!! Thats a Bad Kitty!!!!!!!
Review: Roger Ebert gave this film 1/2 a star...he was too kind. First off I want to apologize, I really do. I'm sorry for breaking my new years resolution so soon. I resolved that I would never again write a negative review on amazon, that I was always trashing everything and I was making people angry and that if I didn't like something I should shut up about it. Then I saw Josie and the Pussycats. I have never been more embarrassed for a bunch of actors. I loved Charlie's Angles and thought this would be like that only with guitars, I was primed for some cool 70's retro music and some silly fun. This movie was painful. I have never seen worse acting, never. If you watch you can see Parker Posie looking around as if she is waiting for the director to yell cut. Someone should have. The same tired old joke is rehashed countles times, that product placement is everywhere, Target logos inside the plane etc.. This was mildly funny once. Once. Rachel Leigh Cook is unsinkable. She is so beautiful that she can make a film better simply by standing there, she is incapable of delivering a bad line no matter how poorly it is written, bravo Rachel, you poor brave girl. To screw up a film like this takes hideous directing, editing and writing. The jokes are old, the story is lame and the acting must be seen to be believed. I was ashamed leaving the theater that someone would have seen me there, I need not have worried there were, perhaps 3 people in the whole multiplex...three too many.

Summary: Funny, but no plot.
Review: In this movie, there are a lot of little jokes but it has a really retarded plot. I mean, it was really funny and had GREAT music but the plot of the movie was a little sappy, I mean lets take over the world with music. Come on.
