A movie that desperately wants to be hip and funny, and succeeds at neither. The original cartoon series had more depth and wit than this tired, bloated, unwatchable film.
Rachael Leigh Cook is okay, but both Rosario Dawson and Tara Reid are one-dimensional airhead stereotypes. (And anybody who thinks that Tara Reid can "really" play drums after watching this is out of their mind.) The big problem -- the story wants to be a tale about being true to yourself and independent, while the movie is the most shameless shill for corporate America in the history of film. Can't have your cake and eat it too, Pussycats. Also, the "jokes" and the "humor" (I guess that's that they'd be called) fall flat time and time again. This movie is so bad, you can't even laugh at it MST3K style.
Do not watch this in the theaters, do not watch this on video. Do not give the studios an excuse to make a sequel to the horrendous excuse for a movie. Easily one of the worst movies made this year.
F-
score 1/10
