Review of Josie and the Pussycats (2001) by Andrea D — 22 May 2014

Josie and the Pussycats gives us a very 80's happy ending, but it fits with the rest of the film. You won't be laughing hard, but if you paid attention and allowed yourself to just have fun the film will feel worthwhile. Josie and the Pussycats isn't likely to hold up well over time, so it's best to see the movie while the references are still fresh and highly amusing. Comments about MTV, Starbucks, and boy band references won't be nearly as funny in ten years when (with any luck) all three have completely vanished from the face of the earth.

It isn't brain surgery, but at least the film understands that fact and when you're not paying attention slips in some clever humor.
