Anyone with a radio already knows the music is about as soulful as an auto-parts commercial. The story is an aimless jumble. The Spice Girls are supposedly getting ready for a big show. A documentary crew is making a movie about them, while at the same time a couple of Americans try to talk their manager into making another movie about them. Meanwhile, the girls demonstrate ''girl power'' by trading insults, throwing snits and sneaking off the job to goof around or console a pregnant friend by taking her out to a disco to drink gin.
Kids are resilient, and they do grow up.
Daughters now hypnotized by the Spice Girls illusion will in a few months roll their eyes at the very mention of the group. Meanwhile, it is up to adults to resist the drumbeat. It's all crap, and Spice Girls are the devil. Richard E. Grant, George Wendt, Claire Rushbrook. The Cincinnati Enquirer , a Gannett Co. Inc. newspaper.
