You would think that a live action adaptation of a beloved cartoon would work, or at the very minimum turn a profit, but neither seemed to happen when Josie and the Pussycats hit the big screen. It was not that the parts were miscast as Rachel Leigh Cook was the perfect Josie and a pre-botched stomach operation Tara Reid was great as the dimwitted Melody. Hell the film had great actors all around, but the plotline where the Pussycats were being used as corporate shills by planting subliminal messages in their music was not interesting at all. You have to think that this one that the Producers would love to have a do-over, but at least the musical casting of Kay Hanley to do the music was a winner.
The Bullet Points:

Josie and the Pussycats (2003)

Long before he made it to Saturday Night Live, Taran Killam was in a Disney TV Movie where he played a Pop Star whose life gets turned upside down when he loses his cell phone. If it sounded lame, it is because it was, but it did do well in the ratings for Disney.

Before he became one of the most successful and powerful actors on Planet Earth, Brad Pitt was Jonathan Keith, Ben Seaver’s favorite singer. At this point, Pitt was just another pretty boy in Hollywood, but who knew that from this appearance that he was going to become such an icon. Wait, Ben Seaver did!

Why you should vote for him:
Well, this is Brad Pitt.
Why you should not vote for him:
He was so mean to Ben at the end of the episode; though it did allow Alan Thicke to teach Ben a lesson.

Singers normally can act, though Paul Simon does seem to be the exception to the rule. In “One Trick Pony” Simon basoically plays himself (and is miserable at it) in a scenario that he was not successful. Either way, the film and the music were not successful; a rare miss for Simon.
