Josie and the Product Placement
April 18, 2001 | 12:11 amI have to give a plug for the new Josie and Pussycats movie. This is the type of movie where you either get it or you don’t. I found it to be a wonderful surprise…very amusing and smart, especially for those who remember the cartoon. This movie takes product placement to an obnoxiously fun level that I doubt any future movie will have the balls to imitate. The inside of a plane that looks like a Target Tide commercial….Josie’s room with the Revlon carpet and windows. It feeds so well into this parody that I couldn’t help but smile and laugh every time they upped the product ante.
The music isn’t bad either. It was nice to see that the girls actually got some training for the gig. It was also great to see that "Behind the Music" is part of a whole evil corporate plan. (You’ll see ^_-). Check this movie out before it disappears from the theatres!
