Josie And The Pussycats (2001) 8/10

Starring : Rachael Leigh Cook, Tara Reid, Rosario Dawson, Alan Cumming, Parker Posey
Director : Harry Elfont & Deborah Kaplan
Running Time : 94 mins

Wannabe pop group Josie And The Pussycats find themselves being used by record company executive Wyatt Frame (Cumming) who, after the mysterious demise of his previous pop sensation Du Jour, wants to use their music to send subliminal messages to the masses to encourage the young public to buy their products.

This incredibly knowing parable on how the music industry markets it's bands based on appearance rather than talent hits the right notes pretty much for the entirety of the movie. Cumming and Posey are wonderfully over the top as the record execs trying to use The Pussycats for their own devices and the odd comment on the movie being based on a comic and cartoon are perfectly timed.
