From start to finish, it's like one commercial big spoof on MTV and all of the Pop artists of the world. Most jokes are somewhat funny, often mildley bland. If you're not a fan or haven't read the comic books which this movie is based on, you might not even want to try to understand it. Cheesy pop-rock music fills the air, quick paced action and lots of strong language make the movie a little less than cheese. Bottom line: young girls may love it, adults may find it annoying.

What Parents Need to Know
About Josie and the Pussycats
Parents need to know that without the rough language that secured this movie's PG-13 rating, the ideal audience for this movie would be that neglected category of 7-12 year old girls, who might find it fun to see Barbie dolls come to life and who might find the message of loyalty and independence empowering. But the language gives it a sour overtone that makes it inappropriate for that group as well.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about why teenagers seem to want to conform, and how they can make sure that they decide what they like and don't like and want and don't want based on what is right for them and not on what the rest of the group is doing. They should also talk about the messages we all get about what to buy and how we respond to them.
