A wasted opportunity

Rating: 1/10 (9 June 2007)

The point at which the world's love affair with the Spice Girls ended. Prior to this they got by on a mix of cheek, charm, enthusiasm and luck. Here they seemed to believe their own bulls**t. e.g "We're big pop stars now, we can do anything. Acting, no problem" While they trained to sing and dance, they are clueless as actors. To be fair half of the blame lies with a script that appears to have undergone no re-writing and a TV director who has no feel for the big screen. Much of the locations are way too bland for what was then the world's hottest pop act. In fairness it was probably rushed because they had a tour/ album lined up. What should have been a laugh was one of the most excruciating 90 minutes I have spent at the cinema.
