Absolute the finest cross section of campy critique of capitalism meets peak 90's style and fashion. A must-see!

Sharp and campy, with a SPICEWORLD vibe that might not be for everyone, but when it lands, it’s hilarious — and the tunes are fire.

This movie is my go too movie that will put me in a good mood, cute rom-com. The music hands down early 2000s and just the overall feel of the movie is great. Just a underrated film for it's time.

Utterly ridiculous tongue in cheek satire; about as nouties as you get and a great critique of modern consumerism. I want to shove them into the new Netflix Riverdale universe and witness the fall out 😂

Ahead of its time. A very fun and funny movie about friends and subliminal messaging.

Would be a cute girl-ish movie but weird to have such a story written in such a way - in fact, why are so many movies of that time (especially for female bands) written with such ill-intent to it's main characters? Seriously, just looking through the entire film industry archives and then *bam* the 90's giving young girls trying to have a career for themselves a hard time.. to the point of having death scenes! in fact, come to think of it (and though the films are fictional) all the films designed for a young female audience are just stupid; degrading; awful - as if to mock the very people the film producers hope would pay to watch it *head scratch* glad i grew up not watching tv, but when i did it wasn't that shite. The funnest thing about the '27th track' in that song is that those band songs are so basic there wouldn't even be anything even close to 10 track lines in it! *lol*

This is a totally underrated movie. I think it is great; the cast is great, the music is fabulous, and the humor is just amazing. And Rachael Leigh Cook is so hot and sexy here. Amazing movie, I love it

I watched this on DVD recently. Josie, Melody and Val are great and have lots of on-screen character chemistry, providing a feel good factor which makes the movie pleasant. I liked the rock music, and the pacing is generally good enough to maintain the viewers interest. I found the conspiracy elements of the story much less appealing, and there are lots of very obvious brand placements to endure. The story is OK at a superficial level, but the film starts to run out of ideas at the end and has nothing of any significance to say. That said, most of it is bubbly and fun, and I enjoyed watching it.

The music in this movie is great, the casting is great, the humor is great, I've never seen the original comic but I like the topic of how consumerism affects us

The ending sold the movie for me

So suprised to see that this movie has such a low rating! It was a very fun watch. The plot WAS cliche but they find a way to make it entertaining. The film REALIZES that the plot IS cliche and makes a great satire out of it. All the characters are fun and its very over the top.

Excusing the very jarring tonal switch towards the end, this movie is a fun time.

LOL, the funniest 01 hour: and 38 minutes ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dumb, but actually funny. More clever than it gets credit for, and actually has some authentic charm because it doesn't take itself seriously. I'm seeing it for the first time twenty-two years after it came out, and nowhere near the demographic intended, but worth the watch.

It's criminal how much this one was passed over. Sure it has a cult following, but it deserved soo much more! Yes it's silly as hell, yes it's a teeny bopper flick, but it's a pretty clever satire with some hilarious, stinging social commentary. I guess it was just a little ahead of its time...

this film is everything to me. i will not elaborate.

Who would expect that a big budget movie based on an Archie Comic and Hanna-Barbera cartoon would end up being a movie so willing to bite the hand that feeds and presents a world where the world of pop music is all one giant conspiracy to sell you things? While it's selling you things, of course. Yet despite being savaged by critics back and bombing at the box office at the start of this century, this movie feels more relevant today than nearly anything else that played theaters in 2001. It's skewering of consumerism is, if anything, even more relevant today. And man, the songs are catchy. Josie McCoy (Rachael Leigh Cook), Melody Valentine (Tara Reid) and Valerie Brown (Rosario Dawson) are the Pussycats, who have been selected to replace DuJour, the latest and hottest band, but also one who have learned that this is all a big scam on the kids. They pay the price when their plane goes down over Riverdale. Now, Wyatt Frame (Alan Cumming) and Fiona (Parker Posey) have promised the one world government that her new band won't need to be killed via drug overdose and will get the job done — or else Carson Daly will wipe them out on the set of Total Request Live. There are so many products placed in this movie that it becomes virtual overload, yet none of them were paid for by the actual companies. They were all placed there by the filmmakers and there are around 73 different products in this movie. Those songs I mentioned — that's Kay Hanley from Letters to Cleo singing — make this movie even better. Deborah Kaplan (who is married to Breckin Meyer, who has a cameo in this movie) and Harry Elfont wrote and directed this movie. They've worked together on plenty of other films, including A Very Brady Sequel, Can't Hardly Wait, The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas, Surviving Christmas, Made of Honor and Leap Year. However, this would be the last movie they'd direct.

A play in one act: MAN comes downstairs with a stack of blu ray discs - kung fu, spaghetti western, horror, all kinds of grindhouse-y goodness. "So, what are you in the mood for?" OTHER MAN SHRUGS "I donno. Maybe something kind of light and fun?" "Well, I did just get this last night." *hands him Josie* OTHER MAN shrugged. "Eh. I watched the cartoon as a kid when there was nothing else on - but I'm not really a fan." "No, trust me. You'll like this." *CLICKS PLAY* "Uhhh, okay." he said, dubiously. *90 minutes later* "Okay, that was legitimately good. I approve." FIN

Josie and the Pussycats is the best movie ever (jointhearmy)

I know that Josie and the Pussycats is a ridiculous adaptation of a silly comic strip. I know the jokes are dated and its look is firmly trapped in the 2000s. Despite all that, I enjoy watching this movie. It still makes me smile & laugh. I think the cast had a blast making this movie, and it shows. The songs are a lot of fun, too. It's not great cinema, but it's the kind of absurd amusement I need every now and then.
