Josie and the Pussycats
Cheerfully corrupt, toothless satire on teenage consumerism and conformism, as dictated by subliminal messages in pop music. The movie is as much an accomplice as a commentator, with special prominence granted to Target, Revlon, Bounce, MTV, among innumerable others. The titular rock trio, wearing leopard ears and sounding a lot like the Go-Go's, are based on characters out of Archie Comics. Rachael Leigh Cook, Tara Reid, Rosario Dawson, Alan Cumming, Parker Posey; written and directed by Deborah Kaplan and Harry Elfont. 2001.
