To the people who keep making movies based on cheesy old TV shows: If you're going to persist in this, despite the fact that
95 percent of them are box-office failures, could you at least come up with a good script? Is that too much to ask? Someone wants to make a movie out of the old comic book and cartoon series "Josie and the Pussycats"? Fine. I mean, no one remembers it, and if they do it's not with any great degree of fondness. But still, a good movie is a good movie, regardless of its source material. But "Josie and the Pussycats" is not a good movie. Writer/directors Deborah Kaplan and Harry Elfont apparently realized they couldn't get by on nostalgia alone (since there's not any) and that the film would need a satiric plot and self-aware attitude. So they put in some jokes like that and diddled around like imbeciles the rest of the time.
