	JOSIE AND THE PUSSYCATS
		The good news is that Josie and the Pussycats isn't nearly as bad as fellow comic-book-to-film duds Dudley Do-right or The Flintstones.
		Enter The Pussycats, a struggling band from Riverdale (it was Midvale in the comic, but who's counting) who perform to unenthusiastic bowlers at the local alley.
		But the Pussycats don't realize Frame and his equally diabolical boss, Fiona (Parker Posey, Best in Show), are inserting subliminal messages into their songs.

	Don Markstein's Toonopedia: Josie and the Pussycats
		In 1970, Hanna-Barbera did an animated version for CBS that tweaked the concept a little — Josie and her friends formed a rock'n'roll band and went on tour, having adventures and solving mysteries wherever they stopped.
		One major difference between the cartoon and the comic book was the character of Alexandra, sister of band manager Alexander and Josie's rival for roadie Alan's affection.
		Josie & the Pussycats in Outer Space was basically the same show, but with a slight change of venue.

	'Josie and the Pussycats'
		Josie and the Pussycats are overnight sensations, one-hit wonders foisted on an unsuspecting public by a vast behind-the-scenes conspiracy of vested interests out to brainwash the youth of America into living life as mindless drones and, by association, good consumers.
		Together as the Pussycats, they've got a youthful energy that's perfect for the fuel-injected power-pop that is their stock in trade.
		There's plenty here for kids to love, from glamour shots of Josie and her Pussycats to celebrity cameos of Daly and the like to dirty jokes to a sweet and believable romance that blossoms between our hero, Josie, and the hometown boy she's always wanted.

		Josie and the Pussycats are finally ready for their close-up, but the big question is, what the heck took so long?
		That success creates some competitive tension within the band, but even worse, the Pussycats don't realize that Wyatt is tampering with their music to corrupt the kids of America.
		The bottom line is this: Josie and the Pussycats combines elements of That Thing You Do, Spice World, and Charlie's Angels and ends up as a pleasant surprise (and the music is pretty good, too!).

		The whole gang from the ''Josie and the Pussycats'' cartoon is pretty much represented.
		Of course, there's Josie (Rachael Leigh Cook), eager to be a star but smart enough to figure out a scam when she sees one.
		Josie has some suspicions about the band's success, especially after the girls' first single goes to the top - in a week.

	Movie-List - Reviews - Josie & The Pussycats
		“Josie and the Pussycats” is another one of those daft cartoon remakes that really has a hard time adjusting to the silver screen.
		The cartoon itself wasn’t very original in its conception and this is evident in the silver screen incarnation.
		The performances of the Pussycats are daft and uncomplicated and that really bugged me. Alan Cumming is the most memorable as their slick manager but you do have to wonder if he is being type-cast.

		Josie began her career as an Archie comics character in the late 1960's, starring in her own self-titled book.
		The Pussycats are invited by a Countess to perform for her on her island estate, only to learn that they're going to be the test subjects for her creation--a mist that can make them very old!

	Salon.com Arts & Entertainment \| "Josie and the Pussycats" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		"Josie and the Pussycats," a live-action riff on the "Archie"-spinoff comic book and TV show, manages to straddle the middle, like a rock chick who has just gotten her first guitar and hasn't yet figured out the natural way to stand.
		"Josie and the Pussycats" would be more fun if it were either more shameless or more principled in the bad-girl way, taking a stance on the value of artistry and attitude over commerce.
		The frustrating thing about "Josie and the Pussycats" is that even though the girls finally realize they don't want to be pawns in the big-business music game, they never return to their garage roots, and that was the time they looked their best, in their ripped T-shirts, chain belts and messy mascara.

	Josie and the Pussycats - Cranky Critic® Movie Reviews
		The credit at the end of the movie reads: "The Josie and the Pussycat characters were created for Archie Comics by Richard H. Goldwater and Dan DeCarlo with John L. Goldwater".
		Josie is built with tongue planted firmly in cheek, with gags so blatant that the audience is part of one big in-joke.
		The Cabots had things to do in the cartoon but with the addition of new management to the mix, are excess baggage here.

	Josie and the Pussycats
		Based on the characters that sprang to life in the “Archie” comic books and then developed into a cartoon, Josie and the Pussycats had a zeal for life, a personality of the times and, most important, a plot line.
		You can not deny that she delivers the lines well, moves well, and looks even better, but if you put a dozen roses on a pile of manure, it's still a pile of manure; Cook is the roses.
		As the story progresses, or digresses, Val and Mel question what is going on and soon are marked for removal and Wyatt uses his subliminal messages to convince Josie she is the star and needs no one else.

		Suddenly, the newly dubbed Josie and the Pussycats are on a rollercoaster ride to fame and fortune, and within a week they have a number one song and a sold out concert on the horizon.
		When Valerie begins to catch on, Wyatt preoccupies her with the idea that Josie is hogging the spotlight, and when simple-minded Melody ALSO begins to get a bad feeling about things, Wyatt's boss, Fiona, decides the two trouble-making pussycats must be eliminated.
		When Josie, Mel and Val are taken to the salon to get facials and other stuff done Mel is wearing yellowish eye shadow, then the salon people put pink eye shadow on her.

		It was with great hesitation that I sat down to watch Josie-I mean come on; it is based on characters from Archie Comics and a very poor cartoon show spinoff.
		Josie and her band mates are stuck in Riverdale playing gigs at the bowling alley when Alan appears and signs them up to a monster recording deal.
		The music itself is a cross between pop and rock, with a hard edge to it; Cook's voice is perfect for vocals, strong and gritty-and the Pussycats are good backup on bass and drums.

	Josie and the Pussycats Movie Review by Anthony Leong from MediaCircus.net
		As the latest piece of Seventies pop culture to find new life as a motion picture (in the footsteps of "Charlie's Angels"), "Josie and the Pussycats" is a surprisingly enjoyable and irreverent romp through a cynic's view of big music, with more than enough broad appeal to ensure nine lives at the box office.
		Josie McCoy (Rachael Leigh Cook of "She's All That") is the lively lead singer-guitarist of the group, Valerie Brown (Rosario Dawson of "Down to You") is the pragmatic bass-player, while Melody Valentine (Tara Reid of "American Pie") is the ditzy blonde drummer.
		I wasn't really a big fan of the comic books or the cartoons, and in the wake of other movies based on blasts from the past, such as "The Mod Squad" or "The Flintstones", I was expecting another ill conceived and poorly executed rehash of stale ideas.

	Pussycats Not Up To Scratch: Josie and the Pussycats Movie Review (NY Rock) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Josie and the Pussycats, adapted from the Archie comic series, tries embarrassingly hard to be a rock-and-roll fantasy about an all-girl power-pop punk band from the small town of Riverdale.
		Despite discouraging circumstances, Josie (played by rocking Rachael Leigh Cook of She's All That fame) and the Pussycats manage to make the big time, all while resisting temptations that threaten their "friends first" motto.
		Wyatt hopes, however, that he won't have to put the Pussycats "to sleep" like he did with his previous proteges, the 'N Sync/Boyz To Men inspired "Du Jour" who were sent down in their private plane when they discovered the subliminal messages in their CD's backing tracks.

	Josie and the Pussycats
		Will Josie and the Pussycats single-handedly be responsible for the downfall of American culture, or will they shed all the excess baggage and keep on rockin' in the free world?
		Tara Reid steals the show as Melody, the ditsy, dim-witted sweetheart whose lack of intelligence only adds to her endearing (and downright sexy) charm, while Alan Cumming and Parker Posey are obviously having a blast as the evil music executives who want to take over the world (then again, don't they all?).
		The bottom line is this: "Josie and the Pussycats" blends elements of "That Thing You Do," "Spice World," and "Charlie's Angels" to end up as a pleasant surprise (and the music is pretty good, too!).

		Just like that, the Pussycats become a chart-topping band, their rise masterminded by Frame and his boss Fiona (Posey, playing a sort of rock ’n’ roll Cruella deVil who starts trends in the prized 15-24 demographic).
		If you were a fan of the cartoon, you should enjoy the actors’ portrayals of the Pussycats, plus Alan M. (Mann), Alexander (Costanzo), and Alexandra (Pyle).
		JOSIE AND THE PUSSYCATS serves up the fun by skewering and wallowing in pop culture at the same time.
