Movie Reviews of Spice World (Special Edition)
Movie Review: Oh the 90's...
Summary: 5 Stars
Fine, this is a silly movie and if you weren't a fan, you probably won't get that much from this now. Solution: don't buy the DVD.
BUT if like me, you are (/were) a fan of the Spice Girls, give Spice World a try (or another try)! I watched this movie in the fifth grade when it first came out and I loved it then. That said, I'm not always sure I knew what I was thinking back then, so I was inclined to think that 12 years later, I'd find the movie ridiculous. My friend with whom I watched this also had the same expectations. But nope, we were pleasantly surprised to find that Spice World was still a great movie. It was ridiculous, but great.
Maybe it was the lowered expectations, but really, if you take this movie for what it is - a film about the Spice Girls having fun and making something for their fans - it is very entertaining. Again, it wasn't made for the Academy (though the acting wasn't so bad), it was made for fans. You can sing along to the songs that were their hits in the 90's and laugh at the jokes and implausible scenarios as loudly as you did in 1997. It's a laugh; don't take it too seriously!
Summary of Spice World (Special Edition)
SPICE WORLD - DVD MovieThe Spice Girls have plenty of personality, and that helps make up for the lapses in inspiration that keep their feature debut from being a truly good movie and potential cult piece. As with Richard Lester's Hard Day's Night, Spice World is about a few days in the collective life of the all-female British group; and the banter is suggestively representative of how the Girls all speak to one another. But the value of individual scenes is woefully inconsistent, reaching a low point in a dumb sequence when a gaggle of extraterrestrials hit them up for autographs. Fortunately, the film is full of great people, or in some cases good people doing great things: Richard E. Grant, Roger Moore, Alan Cummings, Mark McKinney, and tons of cameos from the likes of Elton John, Elvis Costello, and Bob Hoskins. You don't have to be 11 years old and female to get some enjoyment out of this movie, but it might help. --Tom Keogh
