Guilty pleasure... big time.

Rating: Null/10 (2 June 2003)

Never have the words "this is one for fans of " been more appropriate than with this movie. It doesn't really take a lot to sum it up, as there is next to no plot, but be it known: Spice Girls fans will adore this movie. Those who are fairly tolerant of the Spicies, without being avid fans, will find it amusing. Everyone else will cringe at a slackly made filmic cash cow that was devised just to pump more money out of Spice Girls fans back when the girls were in their heyday.
That said, this film will definitely go down as a part of pop-culture history. The Spice Girls were the epitome of mid-1990s 'girl group' phenomena, and this movie sums them up nicely: catchy, bratty, fun and simple. The movie has a lot of cameos, plenty of in-jokes and some funky musical numbers as the girls prepare for their first live gig, but it was never going to win any Brit awards.
So there you have it. Watch the movie at your own risk.
Grade: C+
