There are a lot of things I love about Josie and the Pussycats:
- Three Small Words
- Dujour being a Can't Hardly Wait reunion
- Alan Cumming, Parker Posey, Rosario Dawson, Rachel Leigh Cook
- TRLOn paper, this should be a five star movie for me. I just can't get there. I couldn't get there when it came out, and I can't get there today, and I think it's largely due to Melody. They went a little too far down the ditzy path. There's a balance to be struck, and they missed it, and I can't get past it.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A candy-colored romp that gleefully skewers pop-industry manipulation and celebrity culture while celebrating female friendship and creative authenticity. It's a wink-wink satire wrapped in bubblegum that never takes itself seriously.
