A Classic Of World Cinema

Rating: Null/10 (10 January 2006)

Sometimes IMDb really mystifies me. Star Wars: Episode 3 - Revenge Of The Sith is in the top 250, while Spice World lurks in the bottom 100. Admittedly, both films are equally rubbish but at least Spice World is awful in a highly original manner unlike the afore mentioned bucket of cinematic vomit.
Spice World is a trash classic and a true oddity of the 1990s. In an era where films seem to be manufactured on a conveyor belt, Spice World is truly one of a kind. A film that places the Spice Girls within a fictional narrative involving aliens and delivering babies is surely unique. Love it or hate it, but at least admit that it is different.
Personally, I think the movie is hilarious. I didn't really expect any of the Spice Girls to be great actresses but watching them struggle to even convincingly play themselves is amusing. The plot is suitably ridiculous and the musical segments are agreeable enough. Spice World may be crap, but it is always entertaining.
If watching Posh Spice fall into a river is not your idea of great cinema, then I pity you. Give me Spice World over George Lucas' lazy CGI marathon any day.
