June 22, 2006

Josie And The Pussycats

Who Stars in the Movie:
Rachael Leigh Cook, Tara Reid, Rosario Dawson

Movie Directed by:
Directed by Deborah Kaplan, Harry Elfont , 2001

What’s the movie about:
Josie And The Pussycats is a movie based around the
Hannah – Barbera seventies cartoon and comic about
a funky girl band. Are you old enough to remember
seeing the cartoon or reading the comic.

This movie is a kitsch satire on the
disposable nature of pop fame. The original series was
a bit like Scooby – Doo with songs ( minus the dog ),
and this story about the girls meteroic rise to fame
pokes fun at everything from boy bands to scheming
managers and teenyboppers. The movie has some
very catchy tunes and a good cast.
Also in the movie are Parker Posey and Alan Cumming.
