See, I love this movie as well. I saw bits of it on TV this weekend and it reminded me why I really liked it :)
Also tara reid is really likable, not just tolerable, she's a plus to this movie, which is so odd to realize.

Highly positive. Cole, can you also tell us about the how much you love the Spice Girls movie as well? The innocence of Baby Spice and the break out role of Posh Spice. I do love sugar coated goodness. Yum.

Good to see that the 'Movies we Love' posts are not always related to 'Movies Critics Generally Love' like all the previous posts have been. That being said however, this is the only movie so far that I disagree with.

Totally right on! I am on the exact same page with you here. I have always loved this movie and have always been impressed by it. I actually wrote a review of it myself that was published a long time ago back when the movie came out.

Here, I dug it up:

Josie and the Pussycats is an underrated movie. It is really great. A self-mocking, and intelligent look at a consumer based society, delivered in a funny glossy package. With great songs, and funny people that are nice to look at. It wasn’t accepted well by audiences because if taken at face value it appears to be nothing more than just another run of the mill Hollywood mass market machine produced teen movie. With a dash of poppy boy/girl band delight, featuring sexy people in designer clothes. A movie for the masses, but in fact, the very essence of the movie pokes fun at all of these ideas. It makes fun of the new Band of the Week idea by creating a new Band of the Week! It makes fun of toys being made out of anything popular by making toys of their stars. With logos brazenly displayed everywhere throughout the film, even when the story turns serious, there’s still a joke hovering in the background, it only requires you look and think deep enough to see it.

I was in high school when this film came out, and I enjoyed it then, and I'd probably enjoy it now if I bothered to watch it. (And apparently I can on netflix instant, so who knows, maybe a midnight movie?)
Thanks for the reminder that it exists. It's certainly better than anything on network television lately. (Though admittedly, there are better films on netflix instant that I could be watching instead.)
