Guilty Pleasure: Josie and the Pussycats (movie)
Josie and the Pussycats (2001) doesn’t exactly have the best reviews on Rotten Tomatoes and IMdB, but who cares? This movies is just some good, cheesy fun, and in my opinion, incredibly underrated.
Josie and the Pussycats has a rockin’ girl band, true friendship, a mystery, romance, comedy, villains, brainwashing, and sarcasm, and combines it all in a fun way. Admittedly, it isn’t for everyone, and when I first watched it I did it out of boredom and curiosity. I hadn’t expected to actually like it, but here I am, talking about how much I like it.
Description:
Josie (Rachael Leigh Cook), Melody (Tara Reid) and Val (Rosario Dawson) are three small-town girl musicians determined to take their rock band out of their garage and straight to the top, while remaining true to their look, style and sound. They get a record deal which brings fame and fortune but soon realize they are pawns of two people who want to control the youth of America. They must clear their names, even if it means losing fame and fortune.
On a side note, I personally think that Josie and the Pussycats should have had a crossover movie with the early 2000s Scooby Doo movies (another guilty pleasure of mine). Now it’s in your head, and you know I’m right. I demand a crossover! I don’t care how many years have passed!
