Based on the animated hit TV show of the 1970s,
Josie and the Pussycats is a live-action tale of a group of young girl rockers who desire to make it big. Josie (
Rachael Leigh Cook), Val (
Rosario Dawson), and Melody (
Tara Reid) make up an aspiring garage band that is discovered by shady megalomaniac executive Wyatt Frame (
Alan Cumming), the sidekick to MegaRecords boss Fiona (
Parker Posey), who runs an industry powerhouse that has been grooming the very successful boy band Du Jour. Unbeknownst to the band, MegaRecords is a company whose real intent is to brainwash young people, with subliminal messages inserted in CDs to assure a healthy sales record. Josie and her crew soon latch on to the real deal behind their new label and are forced to choose between their burgeoning rock-star success and doing what's right for future music lovers. The film also stars
Gabriel Mann as Josie's love interest/folk singer Alan M. Its soundtrack features work by
Counting Crows'
Adam Duritz,
the Go-Go's Jane Wiedlin, and
Babyface.
Rachael Leigh Cook's voice was dubbed by
Letters to Cleo's
Kay Hanley for the film's musical set pieces.
