What were you expecting?

Rating: 10/10 (27 November 1998)

Give this film some credit. Gimmick flicks like this are usually unwatchable trash. Sure the jokes were lame and not one of the Spices can act, but was it really any worse than any of Richard Lester's Beatles films? The homages were funny and I'm sure they were much appreciated by film-literate parents who were forced to sit through it. I am definItely not a fan, but watching the film on DVD was quite an experience. The musical sequences were so well done that I almost enjoyed the music. It's beautifully photographed candy for the eyes.
