Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

Just perfect...

Expected more

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Undoubtedly one of the worst British films ever made, SPICE WORLD is nothing more than a lame, tacked-together vanity project for a girl group thankfully long forgotten. The film is nothing more than a series of filmed songs with a few supposedly comedic sketches linking the material. The Spice Girls share 'witty' banter and drive around London in their tour bus while various nefarious managers and media employees work against each other in a plot which has nothing to do with the main characters. The script is dumber than dumb and the Girls are no actresses, with their one-liner delivery quite embarrassing. Poor old Richard E. Grant chews up the scenery while Alan Cumming delivers the fakest accent ever. The rest seems to be an excuse for endless celebrity cameos, which at least takes your mind off the tedium a little.

Yes, it is a terrible film, but it is also fantastic, so it is getting the most mixed rating I can possibly give. While I was insulted by the way this film assaulted my eyeballs, I am also deeply fascinated by what I did see.

I was doubtful about this movie but my daughter insisted we watch it together. I was amazed at how art house it was – with throw backs to the old Beatles movie genre and other madcap '70's and 80's productions (Thunderbirds, the Monkees, etc). Apart from the catchy music and the generally enjoyable overacting – the all star cast makes it a genuine 'spot the actor' vehicle. (For example: this from http://filmbabble. blogspot.com/2007/06/20 -great-modern-movie-cameos.html : "Elvis Costello as a bartender and credited as 'Himself' Costello plays a nice tongue-in-cheek note as the Girls talk about their possible flash-in-the-pan prospects".) It spoofs everything about those bad movies we loved to watch – model buses jumping over model bridges, E.T. (the Movie) in 'bad green coats', the Magical Mystery Tour amazing bus, media moguls (Rupert Murdoch anyone?), Hollywood 'run and go' action movies, over-sexed Italian dancers etc. The more I watched the more I saw. I drove my daughter crazy pointing out ... 'hey that is a takeoff from ...'. If you are studying cinema or just have a movie trivia interest, Spice World certainly gives you more to argue about than Citizen Kain (sorry Orsen) or Pret-a-Porter (apologies to Robert too). If this movie was written by the Directors wife – she was a movie buff. It is better than you think!

Okay, like all you fellow IMDb members, I'm a lover of a movies. But once in a while, a film like this should be making people laugh, not moan about the million things wrong with it.I haven't watched this flick in ages, but yesterday I was in a "take-a-look-at-stuff-from-the-past" mood, found the tape whilst doing my spring cleaning, and so I popped the tape in. I was a little biased the last time I watched it, being an 8 year old Spice Girls fanatic, but this time I took the film into serious consideration. Don't you get it? It's a satire about film making... And with the fabulous cameos (Elvis Costello, Elton John, MEATLOAF!! just to name a few..)how could you not love it? Just a teensy bit?Trust me, the British know film, and they know what they're doing with this one. Instead of showing one "real" side of the spice girls, they've shoved 50 years of stereotypical rubbish into one movie. You've got people trying to make a movie, a documentary, and the tabloids trying to break the girls apart, along with aliens, hot Italian models and random deja vus. All in one. So, cool off IMDb... if you don't take yourself too seriously and want to step back into the 90s for a good laugh, watch this.
