What Did You Expect?

Rating: Null/10 (22 February 2003)

You know, when I see the name 'Julia Roberts' on a movie, I usually do my best to avoid that movie. Why? Because I don't personally like Ms. Roberts. I'm sure she's a very nice woman, but she and her movies just don't do anything for me.
Now, I realize that Julia Roberts is not in 'Spice World', but I'm making a point.
If you see 'Spice World' starring the Spice Girls in your local Hollybuster video store and you've never really liked the Spice Girls, you probably won't like this movie. That's not too difficult to figure out, or so I thought until I read some of the reviews here.
Did they think that Baby Spice would win an Oscar for her performance? Did they think that a movie 'based' on the Girls' lives would be thought-provoking? Maybe they just thought that this would be the first PG-rated movie with full nudity. I can't figure it out.
I personally like the Spice Girls. They seem like they are a lot of fun, and their music is upbeat. To be honest, I think that they brought us out of the drudge of Grunge and Hard-core rap that we were experiencing in the mid-90's. They brought the happiness back to music.
On the other hand, I blame them fully for the popularity of all these teeny-bopper singers that have invaded my radio, but that's not my point.
'Spice World' is just a fun little movie that is a guilty pleasure for me and many other people. Like I said before, if you don't like the Spice Girls, don't see this movie. If you do like the Girls, you should like the movie for what it is.
