JOSIE AND THE PUSSYCATS

Rated PG-13 (Universal Pictures)

Josie, Melody and Val are lifelong friends from Riverdale determined to take their band out of the garage and into the stratosphere while staying true to their own look, style and sound. Their look and sound is not trendy, but they mean every word they sing. When nobody shows up at their gigs, they understand that real musicians have to pay their dues. One day they are discovered by hotshot manager Wyatt Frame, who presents them to MegaRecords CEO as the next big thing. Within days, they have the No. I single in the country. They look amazing and their calendars are filled with recording sessions, photo sessions, tapings, concerts and parties. Starring in this comedy that is executive-produced by Kenny "Babyface" Edmonds and produced by wife Tracey (Edmonds) are Rachael Leigh Cook, Tara Reid and Rosario Dawson.
