Review of Josie and the Pussycats (2001) by Jacob S — 25 Apr 2013

This was a movie I never intended on seeing, but last night, that all changed. I'm not even sure what to say about it. As much as I enjoy Parker Posey and Alan Cumming, it was pretty clear that neither of them really cared while making this movie.

In fact, no one seems to have cared. The acting was wooden. The dialogue wasn't believable. And there were too many random segues that didn't really lead to anything and were only there to make the movie look flashy.

I didn't really feel any tension during the low point of the movie because there really wasn't anything at stake. And I know that they were trying to make a joke with subliminal messages, but with all of the obvious product placement in this movie, it goes way passed subliminal to rubbing it in your face.

Besides the pretty girls and some accidental laughs from Posey and Cumming, I can't really think of anything else worth talking about with regard to this movie. Jennifer, I love you, dear, but now that I've watched this with you, please don't make me watch it again.
