Worth a Watch to Judge for Yourself

Rating: Null/10 (23 August 2003)

What were you expecting? Pride and Prejudice it aint.
Its not the Spice Girls people hate, it's the idea of the Spice Girls. Most people who say they hate them or try to commit you to an institution if you say you like them, probably have never given the music a serious listen, and certainly never watched this movie. I'm a huge fan of the Beatles, so I found it quite easy to get sucked into the Spice phenomenon, and must say that everyone I've turned onto their music begrudgingly though it may be, admits they cant help liking it. As far as the film, again think of A Hard Days Night. Completely plot less, just a vehicle to hear the music and see the larger than life performers on the big screen. Ahh, but it was a slick well made film wasn't it and the charisma of the stars did in fact carry it over the goal line. So it can also be said, constant reader, of Spice World. Take my advice and rent it, if you feel you must you can always do so under a phony name.
