Light-hearted fun

Rating: 7/10 (31 May 2005)

Being a massive Spice Girls fan when they were popular (I was a mere 12- or 13-year-old at the time), I really enjoyed the movie. Even now, as I remember the movie, I still think it's pretty good. For a movie with a British pop group, sure it's no "A Hard Day's Night" (the famous Beatles 1964 feature), but it's still fun. The music (while not the greatest) is infectious pop, the laughs are good, and the acting is good (not necessarily referring to the Spice Girls themselves, but the supporting roles). Although the Spice Girls do a bang-up job at portraying themselves as shown through the media and their so-called personas. I give it a 7 because it's not the best movie ever, but because it's a fun movie and for me, it's a stroll down memory lane.
