Summary: Definition of a guilty pleasure.
Review: No, it's not "War and Peace," but then, you didn't really expect an All-Spice rendition of "MacBeth," did you?

The plot? Well, that's beside the point, isn't it? Something about a tour film, something about birthing babies, something about an evil tabloid plot to break up the Spice Girls (perish the thought!). What miniscule plot there is serves mainly as an excuse for random cameos, multiple costume changes, and self-spoofing fantasy sequences, e.g. the girls as Charlie's Angels style fighters in "SpiceForce 5". Oh yeah, there's music, too. (Forward through the concert scenes if you're not a devotee of Spice sound or you just aren't really in a masochistic mood.)

It's all in high spirited goofy fun. Even the always reliable Richard Grant looks like he's having a hoot. As someone who doesn't own a Spice album (or even cooking spices for that matter, but that's a different story) and can't call herself a fan, I was genuinely surprised to find this movie so darn enjoyable. I'm not saying I'd start a grass-roots campaign demanding a sequel (er, Spice Universe?), but this flick's amusingly silly and benignly entertaining -- not unlike the Spice Girls themselves.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Worth listening, better than their debut!
Review: Spice Girls are the best female group ever, and it's their greatest album. I love the songs "Too Much" and "Spice Up Your Life". It's a must have in your collection.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: im your mother now and i dont mean superior!
Review: If you never liked the Spice Girls then don't watch this movie. You would think that would be obvious but apparently I overestimate the intelligence of the reviewers here.

But honestly, this movie is hilarious. It's just so ridiculous and my friends and I still quote it sometimes. It is cheesy, it is low budget, and it is more like a parody with not much of a plot. But that's what makes it funny. You need a sense of humor to enjoy this movie. Something that the other reviewers here clearly do not have.

"Please do not leave moisturizer in the refrigerator as it can be mistaken for mayonnaise, that is all."

Summary: A Nostalgic Ride Back To 1997 - Spice World Is Still
Review: Back in 1997 when the Spice Girls ruled the charts 2 years after what I like to call the Ace of Base era and before the boy/girl band/group era, no could ever imagine the girls being in a movie. But that is what people got and even now 7 years later, it is still a fun ride if not a little outdated.

For anyone who remembers the phenonom that was the Spice Girls, you can not but conjure up some thoughts (let them be negative or positive) about their rein. Their music was catchy and when listening to it in this day and age can bring a person to a calmer time in life.

If you grew up in the latter part of the 90's you cannot fullly appreicate this movie no matter how hard you try.

The reason for this is that the movie just has no plot. I will agree with everyone else and say that this movie is completely pointless. But that does not make it a bad movie. It actually makes it more of a golden treat.

Cashing in on their popularity, this movie was made by mixing the girls, fictional characters, aliens, nostalgic and outdated jokes (by todays standards) and complete nonsense. It does it all in a clever formula.

The most rewarding part of the movie for anyone though has to be the first time you see the girls faces. You remember them in your head, but when you actually see them on screen for the first time in 7 years, you can not help but to admire their beauty for several minutes on end. They look great. Posh is still hot, Baby is innocence done right, Sporty is still a cutie, Scary is still scary in a good way, and Geri just looks fine.

Overall, this movie is a great way to spend a hour and a half on a weekend esp. if you want to go back a time when everyone was happy. Literally.

Summary: What a mess...
Review: Spiceworld: The Movie is a movie starring the Spice Girls.

What....you want a plot? Sorry, there just isn't one. Well, nothing that could be coherently described as a plot, anyway. The target audience of this movie won't realize this, but what we get is a collection of music videos very very loosely tied together around a number of dismal subplots.

To give you some idea of the looseness of the subplots, some of them involved;

A snooty bumbling reporter, Piers Cuthbertson-Smyth (Alan Cumming) filming a documentary on the "real" Spice Girls. He wanders about with his moronic crew, bumping into things and falling over a lot.
A spitulous newspaper mogul, Kevin McMaxford (Barry Humphreys) whose goal is to break up the Spice Girls so that he can sell more newspapers, and his associated super sleazy press photographer.
An impotent, stressed out manager - Clifford (Richard E. Grant).
A bizarre quoter of nonsense played by Roger Moore who is supposedly the big Chief.
A very pregnant friend of the Spice Girls who goes into labour whilst dancing at a nightclub.
A movie producer (George Wendt)and writer following Clifford around pitching Spice Girl movie ideas at him which he keeps rejecting until, surprise, surprise, they pitch the idea for this movie to him, and he agrees.
Aliens that have heard of the Spice Girls and want their autographs (whilst they are in the bush looking for a place to pee). I'm not making this one up, honestly.

The movie also featured a bus with a Union Jack plastered all over it which was the Spiceworld tour bus. They must have put Dr Who's Tardis somewhere in this bus, since it was an awful lot bigger inside than outside, but never mind about that. Meatloaf drove the bus.

Summary: Trix are for kids!! Silly rabbit!!!!
Review: What a roller coaster ride of a movie. I say this not because it had me at the edge of my seat with excitement but because it made me vomit allover myself. Wow, where do I even begin? Ok how about this? You know how a movie can be so bad that in a way its actually kind of good. Well this movie was so bad that it just flew past that point quicker than Rick James' heartbeat after a 4 day coke binge, and then went back around full circle to being just plan horrible.

I don't know how this can even be characterized as a movie because a movie requires a plot of some kind. I could have taken a blank piece of paper. Conjured up the biggest loogie that I could possibly make. One with a small solid chunk in it and with a nice faint yellowish hue. Spit it on the paper and have made a better script then the one used in this movie. There must have been something wrong with either the tape I was viewing or my VCR, because about halfway through, the picture fluttered and the screen went blue for about 7mins. I witnessed more plot turns and more character development in this 7min span of blue screen, then I did throughout the whole rest of the movie.

This movie left me so violated that at the ending credits I felt like a preschooler leaving the Never Land Ranch after a week long slumber party. At one point I just couldn't take anymore. I tried to stand and walk to the TV to shut it off, but I was so mentally and physically exhausted from viewing this movie that I couldn't even make it to my feet. Watching this movie required the use of muscles that I don't usually use on a regular basis. My body actually physically ached with soreness for 3 days after viewing this sick joke of a film. During one of the musical montages I sincerely feared that my brain cells may try to euthanize themselves to avoid enduring this torture any longer. The extent of psychological damage this movie has caused me is immeasurable. I now have recurring Nam flashbacks and I didn't even fight in Nam. Sometimes I'll just start weeping out of the blue like when Richard Simmons consoles a grossly overweight woman. I developed a drinking habit. I lost my job. All the hopes and dreams I once had are now lost, just like the fat from around Jarrids' midsection, all because of "Spice World"

Director Bob Spiers should receive a beating so bad that The Gooch wouldn't even unleash it upon Arnold Jackson, for recording these ghastly events on film. If the spermaceti that was responsible for producing Bob Spiers knew that he would later go on to make this movie. It would have screamed out kamikaze and took a fatal dive into the sticky mucus lining of the fallopian tubes, instead of fertilizing the egg. Just think about how destructive, to the whole human race, Spice World can be. This next statement may sound very farfetched but in all likelihood it's not completely inconceivable. God forbid this would ever happen, but for a moment just imagine that all intelligent life on this planet was eradicated by some sort of plague. Now imagine that after hundreds of thousands of years a new race were to discover our planet and start studying who we were and how we lived. Imagine how they would marvel at some of our discoveries and inventions. They would be mesmerized by the huge skyscrapers we erected. Our knowledge of medicine, electricity, the automobile, the computer, and the family size George Foreman Lean Mean Fat Reduceing Grilling Machine with bun warmer. They would be awed by some of our great poets, artists and philosophers. Just imagine what they would learn from us. Imagine the respect and admiration they would have for us. That is until one of them were to unearth "Spice World". The respect they once had for our hole race would be taken back faster than a bowl of cereal from Trix The Rabbit. Where we were once hailed as kings we would now be reduced to nothing more than the butts of their jokes like blondes, the Polish and Janet Jacksons' Nipple. All because of "Spice World".

So in closeing. Whatever you do, do not buy or watch this movie, and if for some reason you already own it at least make sure you keep it locked up tighter then Martha Stewart. It may help preserve our good name in the long run.

Summary: Spice Up Your Life!
Review: Spice Girls' second one is pure pop album. The great opener "Spice Up Your Life" cheers you up whenever you are down and sad. "Stop" and "Move Over" are classic pop songs too...MO is the one we remember as a Pepsi song. "Viva Forever" and "Too Much" are peaceful song...they are in my opinion the best ballads that any girl group has done...so deal with it..."Do It" is the one with power...just like "Satuday Night Divas"..."Never Give Up on the Good Times" is the one that is a happy song too...very optimistic. "The Lady..." is a great song. It is very old-fashioned music...I guess in 60's or 50's was this kind of music. So, Spiceworld is a great girl power album.
Stars: Spice Up Your Life, Stop, Move Over, Viva Forever

Rating: 5 stars
