    A totally chick flick. A satirical comedy with a lot of pop culture references, and a good way of mocking the way people buy oreat or drinka product just because its trendy. Although it has some funny moments the story was kinda corny and and a cheesy plot. The cast was good, Ra...( read more)chel Leigh Cook looking gorgeous and with a decent performance, Tara Reid so pretty but its role wasso cute and corny that she annoys me, Rosario Dawson seems to me that she was uncomfortable and wasn't enjoying her acting, Alan Cumming was great and funny with his role of the geek guy trying to be a cool singers manager aswell as Parker POsey, she was so hilarious, a villiand who was a nerd in her past trying to convince everyone to like her with subliminal messages on music. These two actors make this movie a little worthy wit its pricelessly performances. The music was really good, maybe one of the few good things of the movie. The costume design was ridiculous, I mean there's no way peolpe would dress like that. In conclusion this movie would be enjoyable for a boring sunday afternoon and to watch just once.

    I remember seeing this movie when I was little and I'm pretty sure that I liked it.
  • September 8, 2009
    Ah, I like this movie alot but it's more or less brainless. The drama is very contrived, not that anyone expects great writing here. And while Rachael is dynamite, let's face it: Tara, you are like the worst actress ever.

Critic Reviews

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

Their cool-to-be-cruel stance is too hip for the room and a likely turnoff for preteen girls who don't like fluff balls laced with bile. full review

David Edelstein, Slate

It's amazing that writer-directors Deborah Kaplan and Harry Elfont sustain this in-jokey screwball punk musical satire as long as they do. full review

April 11, 2001
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

Josie and the Pussycats are not dumber than the Spice Girls, but they're as dumb as the Spice Girls, which is dumb enough. full review

Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com

Girl-pop fans might find themselves drawn to their local record store in search of the soundtrack, no subliminal messages needed. full review
