If it wasn't 'spice', you wouldn't complain

Rating: Null/10 (16 May 2004)

We all know what the Spice Girls making a movie is going to make EVERYONE think; but really, even watching this for fun several years after it came out when the band is no longer popular (at least, not in my area), I can honestly say it really isn't that bad. The singers do a great job because they aren't trying to pull off a dramatic performance, and their ability to mock their own style, fans, and themselves is something to be respected. Compare this movie to the disgustingly sappy "Crossroads"; would you rather view these ridiculous popstars who completely comfortable with being ridiculous or the sickening "drama" that looks like it's trying to win itself a best actress Oscar? I'll take the superfluous fluff any day, personally. Just because they are the Spice Girls doesn't mean they don't know how to have a good laugh, one that's often at their own expense.
