Hilariously Ridiculous

Rating: 10/10 (12 November 2003)

I'm surprised this movie has scored just 3 stars! Sure, I wasn't expecting a 10- but perhaps I would have guessed a 5 or maybe even 6. This movie made me laugh, I thought i would hate it but I found it really quite hilarious- It was ridiculous but in a funny and deliberate way. It wasn't like it was trying to get the thought provoking film award and failed, a cinematic masterpiece was not the agenda here- but a little bit of fun which I believe it definitely succeeded in doing.
The crew making the documentary on the spice girls, the two guys who are "brain storming" film ideas for the spice girls to star in, the spice girls manager and then his boss are all just hilarious. In fact the whole thing is hilarious- This movie is not made to be taken seriously! The whole thing is a deliberate joke! Do people not see this?
I don't know what people expected from this movie for it to fail so much in their expectations to warrant such a low rating. I am all for movies like "Copper Mountain" scoring hopefully VERY low ratings (I recommend you go see it just so you can boast you have seen the worst movie of all time) as it was a movie whose ABSOLUTE ridiculousness was not deliberate or entertaining- but the horror which is "Copper Mountain" has scored level with "Spice World", absolutely unfair.
"Spice World" succeeded brilliantly in what it set out to do- be hilariously ridiculous.
