Spice World is a 1997 British musical comedy film directed by Bob Spiers, written by Kim Fuller and Jamie
Curtis, and starring the best-selling pop music girl group the Spice Girls. The lighthearted comedy, made in a similar vein to The Beatles’ A Hard Day’s Night, depicts fictional events leading up to a major concert at London’s Royal Albert Hall, liberally interspersed with dream sequences and flashbacks as well as surreal moments and humorous asides.
The film premiered on 15 December 1997 and was released in British cinemas on Boxing Day, followed by the release in North America on 23 January 1998.
The movie took in US$75 million dollars at the worldwide box office, including $29,247,405 in the U.S
Despite being a commercial success, the film was widely panned by critics. The Spice Girls each won the award for Worst Actress at the 1998 Golden Raspberry Awards. It also received nominations for Worst Picture, Worst New Star (Spice Girls), Worst Supporting Actor (Roger Moore), Worst Screenplay, Worst Screen Couple (“any combination of two people, body parts or fashion accessories”) and Worst Original Song (“Too Much”). The film aggregator website, Rotten Tomatoes gave Spice World a “rotten’” rating of 27%. AllMovie gave it a 2/5 stars.

Terrible.
Most of the Girls are reduced to appearances on TV gameshows or discussing ‘womens issues’ with that fat Agony Aunt on This Morning these days. Makes me smile. Playing concerts at Wembley was a long time ago.

Oh, and another thought – “Girl Power”? I’m sorry, having Emma Bunton pander to paedophiles with her “Baby Spice” persona – in what sense was that an affirmation of female power? Isn’t that like arguing that Al Jonson helped bring down apartheid?

Oh the Spice Girls had their own crisp flavour? I cant remember Geri’s “bitter taste of deperation” being in the shops.

I saw this in the cinema. It was a long hour and a half. Anytime comedy was attempted the silence was deafening. I would say stick to the ‘singing’ but dont do that either. You all have enough money to never work again.
Do the decent thing.

It was laugh out loud funny. Not for the reasons the Spice Girls had intended but it made me laugh anyway. The 5 girls can barely mime to their own music in time let alone act.
Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry were among some of the stars who did a cameo. Seemed like a good idea at the time i suppose ??

Interestingly, Spice Girls: The Movie managed to be a utterly unamusing yet totally laughable at one and the same time.
Slightly off-topic, but do you remember when they also had their own flavour of Walkers crisps, leading to one wag asking if we should read anything into the fact that Mel “Sporty Spice’s” flavour was plain?

This film had quite a number of cameo appearances from actors that realy shouldve known better. But it was horrible from the start just like their pop career.
“Girl Powerrrr” screams Geri while wearing a dress barely covering her snatch and her breasts popping out for all to see. Yea Girl Power. You go girl. What a role model

Hated the Spice Girls. Their singing was bad enough but their acting took my hatred to another level. Even now the group has broke up they still appear on our screens from time to time plugging new products. Halliwell is probably the worst out of the bunch but each are annoying in their own way.
Stop the singing. Stop the acting. Just go away.
