As the Spice Girls prepare for what may be their most prestigious concert, everyone in the world wants them. Their manager Clifford and his behind the scenes boss want to control the girls' lives with the sole goal of getting them to the concert in the best shape possible. A documentary crew wants access during the girls' busy schedule. A Hollywood pitch team wants them to star in a movie. The London tabloids want to print whatever they can get their hands on, even if it ruins the girls' careers. Through it all, the girls evaluate their lives and wonder if they've lost sight of what is really important in life.........The ironic thing about this film is that the things that are shown as a 'danger' to them in the film, are the exact same thing that gave these five stars the career and the money they have today.And it's the same people who thought it would be a good idea to release a Spice Girls film, to milk every last penny they could from the girls. And it's a good job they released it when they did, because they had just reached their peak.So the film is nothing more than an excuse for them to sing their hits, and inbetween have some fun little cameos for the older members of the audience. And it's just all over the place.Obviously the group can't act, but they have screen presence, and the story is paper thin, throwing everything in the mix to try and avoid people from spotting the incoherence of the plot.It is rubbish, just like the processed pap that the group released over their two years at the top of their 'game', and paved the way for the loud mouthed teenagers we have strutting the streets being totally abhorrent toward one another and their peers.That's Girl Power.An utterly vile piece of filth that should never be seen by anyone.

So, first things first: Have I seen this film? It doesn't really matter.Much like a Rambo film, Avengers films, or a Spiderman film, you know what's about to happen; full of ass whooping and awesome.Starring the Spice Girls ( all of them) doing what they do best -Spice up our lives, you would be a fool to miss this one-of-a kind film that the entire human civilization looks back upon in instant nostalgia and wonder.Here's an example straight out of the film :Posh: You could always take your shirt off, Geri. Ginger Spice: Shut up. Posh: It was just a joke.It keeps you in suspense. "Will she take her shirt off?" you wonder. Inside you, you beg she does. She instantaneously feel the need of religion, and accept Jesus into your life. If Jesus doesn't persuade her to take off her shirt, who will? Well no one, because she doesn't take her shirt off.But the thought of it was still amazing.A must watch. If you have a weak heart, consider yourself warned.

Spice World (1997) 1/2 (out of 4) This here is pretty much a variation on A HARD DAY'S NIGHT but this time instead of John, Paul, George and Ringo we get Baby, Sporty, Ginger, Posh and Scary. Most movies made feature a credit that will read something to the effect of "story by..." but not this one. No, that credit is actually replaced by one that reads "idea by..." and that pretty much tells you everything you need to know. Really? The biggest pop female pop band that the world has ever seen and one that apparently made between $600-$800 million can only come up with a movie based on an idea? I guess it really doesn't matter that SPICE WORLD has been called one of the worst movies ever made because their fans ate it up when it was released and apparently they are still very fond of it. I guess if I was a die-hard fan of the group then I'd enjoy seeing them in anything no matter how bad it actually was. What makes this film so bad is that there really doesn't seem to be any idea of what this movie is supposed to be about. I'm sure it was an attempt to milk the success of the band and that's understandable. I just wish we had actually gotten a backstage look at the lives they were going through or at least gave us some sort of realistic look at the band. Instead we basically just get one long music video where the girls play their music and get to try on many different outfits. Nothing the five girls say are funny. Nothing they say is very interesting. In fact, nothing they do is all that entertaining. The movie actually reaches a level where it becomes painful to sit through it any longer. Heck, the girls can even lip-sync their songs and that well. SPICE WORLD doesn't quite earn a BOMB ranking thanks in large part to the girls being cute and wearing tight clothes but you can look at a magazine for this. The film itself is quite bad and sadly it never reaches a level to where you can just laugh at it.

A trippy psychedelic color-collage during the opening credits is one of the few highlights in this slow-as-molasses story about a group of pretty young girls making the singing circuit.It's quite obvious early on that the real star of the five-some is Emma Bunton (she's the cute blonde), though brunette Victoria Adams is a close second just because she's so hot.So off the Spice Girls go across England on that dumb bus and flights from Milan to London on an Alaskan Airlines jet. If that doesn't sound confusing enough, try Roger Moore's corpse-like presence holding a piglet which is more interesting than he is or the girls making their concert fans wait so they can deliver an Asian chick's baby. Choppy direction doesn't help; this movie would be better with less talk and more colorful pillow fights.Typically convoluted approach to contemporary pop-culture subject matter.
