Also known as DVD FIC KAP Material #35870 when you go looking for it. Which you will. Bear with me.
See, 'Josie and the Pussycats' is more amazing than you might think. Consider this argument:

1. Spitting in the eye of 1999-era pop madness. Schoolgirl Lolita Britney Spears. That weird BSB video with the monsters. TRL when it was actually called 'Total Request Live' and showed complete videos. J&TP did its best to question the notion of these consumer-driven confections through 'Behind the Music'-type breakdowns and dead-behind-the-eyes trend-seeking giggle-zombies. Of course, we've been able to witness the fall of pop princes and princesses in their own time. Welcome back to Earth, y'all.
2.Rosario Dawson. She's amazing for taking on characters that are raw, real, and do things that, well, rarely can be mentioned here (well, I can show you this, sort of). She cares about a million different things. Including comics. Comics. COMICS! Alright, so this isn't her best role, but she manages to give us someone to connect with. Someone to distract us from Tara Reid.
3. Rachael Leigh Cook. Alright, not a ton to say here. I most just wanted to put in this anti-drug plug.
4. Kay Hanley. Who? Kay. Hanley. When I was a wee Di in rural Louisiana, Kay Hanley saved my life through her grrl-centric pop-punk angst. She swears alot. So much so that I don't feel comfortable linking to her blog here. Ask your parents, then Google it. My point is: she could probably knock your teeth out. Yet, she wrote all the songs in this flick. And that's her giving Rachel Leigh Cook her voice. Bonus Points: Kay Hanley apparently helps the Patriots win. Also, now a back-up singer for Miley Cyrus. Um. What?!
In conclusion, there's alot of rawk in this movie. But it's rated PG. So you can live hard while earning some easy baby-sitting cash if you so choose.
