Product Description

From Amazon.com

The 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. The DVD has optional full-screen and widescreen presentations, optional Spanish and French soundtracks, and optional English, Spanish, and French subtitles. --Tom Keogh

This review is from: Spice World (Widescreen/Full Screen) (DVD)

God! What was I thinking when I decidedto watch this movie. Oh yeah! I was a big fan of Spice Girls and I wasn't really thinking.

Seriously, I expected more than this. I Thought they could have done better...MUCH BETTER! Before this movie came out, I thought it owuld be brilliant but, I am so god damn disappointed! This came out more of a stereotype of the worse movie ever. The word WHYYYYYYYY comes to mind.

They have the potential to be great actress and they have blew it here! They should have gotten a better script.

5.0 out of 5 stars The kung-fu fighting dancing queens spice up your lives, April 25 2004

Caffienated Yak "caffienatedyak" (your foot) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Spice World (Audio CD)

Hell, I already praised a Britney album, so this next step is only natural.

Besides, who can deny that the once fearsome-fivesome (quintet?) are probably the most undoubtedly fun group ever to come roaring out of the 90's?

...Anyone?

Okay, then. But back on track - pure sugary confectionary pop perfection all for us. Woohoo! Fast-paced furious latin-vibing Spice Up Your Life (built around a dancey piano line and godknows what else), the calming, watery, crammed-to-bursting-with-pretty-strings Motown vibes of Too Much (The Supreme Spices? Hmm...), the slinky sexy TLC-esque 90's R&B of Denying, the chilling Latin-tinged (there's that phrase again) ballad Viva Forever...

And the rest of the good stuff: The loud, energetic Pepsi anthem Move Over, the jazzy loungey ender built around a swingin' bunch-o-brass (The Lady Is A Vamp), and my personal favorite:

Stop. Frighteningly perky and sunny. And brassy - horns out the wazoo. Cheesy claptrack, check. Beeps, check. But good lord I love it. Anyone up for being in a good mood?

Then enter Spice World, and please check to make sure you are not allergic to any of the following:

Ginger
Posh people
Sporty people
Scary people
Babies

Enjoy.

4.0 out of 5 stars A must have for any Spice Girl fan
I think this movie is good. I can say the Spice Girls are wonderful women. I assure you that it would be terrific to have Amy Winehouse in comedy movies. Read more
