23rd August 2001
Josie and the Pussycats camera

Dir: Deborah Kaplan and Harry Elfont
Cast: Rachael Leigh Cook, Tara Reid, Rosario Dawson, Alan Cumming, Parker Posey
Length: 100 minutes
Release: August 24th 2001

Josie and her Pussycat friends

Top of the Pops anyone?

This isn't a Disney movie about a girl and her lost pets, as you might think from the title, but something much deeper.

Eric Simpson

It's an attempt to make a point about the crass commercialism of music television and the music business ... in a big-budget Hollywood movie.

Huh?

Call me naive, but do you really think a movie based on a comic will be taken seriously? I don't think so.

These characters first appeared in Archie Comics and were then on a cartoon show in America in the '70s.

Now they have made the move to the silver screen with Rachael Leigh Cook, who has 19 films on her resume, in the lead role. She's backed up by Tara Reid of Just Visiting and Rosario Dawson of He Got Game.

The story is that these girls become overnight superstars when they're plucked from obscurity and by promoter Alan Cumming (of Spy Kids fame.)

Add a bit of music and a thin plot line about big business and the government experimenting on mind control, and you've got the latest 20th Century Fox blockbuster.

Other reviewers have called it irreverent and fun and full of parody.

I say it is pretty weak attempt to lure young teenage girls to the cinema on the pretence of offering them a cool, girlpower film, but only offering a lukewarm 70s cartoon remake.

Sorry, I may not be in the right age bracket to judge what teens want, but surely, they don't want this stuff.
