First, let me say that I never watched the cartoon, and thus, don't know about it faithfulness to the series. That said...
If you've put off this movie, I HIGHLY suggest it. Following the adventures of a rockin' trio of girls and their aspirations of hitting it big. While simple in premise, this movie is deceptively witty. Behind the goofy sight gags, girly camaraderie, and bubblegum-pop montages, there are a few social commentaries that seem to be more and more relevant in today's media. The Pussycats (Cook, Dawson and Reid) are portrayed well and the fun that the had making this movie together shines through. Parker Posey, and more importantly Alan Cumming, do a GREAT job playing Saturday morning bad guys! And the Dujour side gag is PRICELESS if you get the joke.
While clearly an underrated movie, the true tragedy is that the fantastically 'poppy' songs that are littered throughout WILL NEVER BE HEARD OF AGAIN. Produced by legendary producer Babyface, this is a GREAT soundtrack. Hardly a perfect movie, but lovably harmless, Josie is worth checking out. 8 out of 10 Rachael Leigh, call me.
