As bad as it gets

Rating: 1/10 (13 May 2018)

Undoubtedly one of the worst British films ever made, SPICE WORLD is nothing more than a lame, tacked-together vanity project for a girl group thankfully long forgotten. The film is nothing more than a series of filmed songs with a few supposedly comedic sketches linking the material. The Spice Girls share 'witty' banter and drive around London in their tour bus while various nefarious managers and media employees work against each other in a plot which has nothing to do with the main characters. The script is dumber than dumb and the Girls are no actresses, with their one-liner delivery quite embarrassing. Poor old Richard E. Grant chews up the scenery while Alan Cumming delivers the fakest accent ever. The rest seems to be an excuse for endless celebrity cameos, which at least takes your mind off the tedium a little.
