Not a movie, more like a documentary. With BS.

Rating: Null/10 (8 November 2001)

I saw this one through an illegal black box in 1998. I'm a closet fan of the Spice Girls and I still have songs that I downloaded through Napster on CD-R. However, much like (name your pop-star), they aren't actors and it shows here.
BUT, they know it and the SG make a quasi-documentary based on The Beatle's "Hard Day's Night". Because I haven't seen "Hard Day's Night", I won't be as critical here as others. I think the movie does a good job of depicting a week in the life of the SG but too much of the film is spent with utter silliness and stupidity with their "Girl Power" stuff. Lots of cameo appearances here as well, with the one surprise being former "Kids In The Hall" alum Mark McKinney.
There is one scene that is total BS though: There is a flashback scene in the middle where the SG are nobodies and they're at a greasy spoon with their Oriental friend and they say they have a song and a dance routine that they hope will give them fame. Oh, I guess that means that you weren't put together by a producer and given dance lessons and song lyrics from others. You were always buddy-buddy and aren't like all the other put together for a buck pop groups. What total crap! Why would they even try to sell that fact anyway? I guess they think 9 year-olds wouldn't have a clue about the true motives of why they were cobbled up. Truly the biggest lie on celluloid ever. Otherwise, this "film" is tolerable.
