... but that statement alone immediately makes it superior to any number of "Wannabe" (Arggghhhh!) Oscar-winners that are actually pretentious cr*p. I know it's a cliche, but this film has a clear idea of its place in the scheme of things, and it knows it's not got a shot of toppling "Citizen Kane" from the public's affections, so it just sets out to have fun. Whether the audience will be doing the same is a different matter entirely. If you can stomach random sequences strung together with barely an excuse for a plot, and countless jokes that can most kindly be described as of the 'hit & miss' variety, you should be alright. Hey, if you watch this movie of your own volition and STILL feel you are justified in complaining that it's awful, you deserve everything you get. Myself, I think it's churlish to overly criticise such a harmless piece of fluff that is obviously desperate to be liked. So I won't. It's about as good as could have been reasonably expected. (There I go, damning it with faint praise!)

Incidentally, of the girls, only Victoria shows the ability to at least deliver a line adequately. Having said that, don't expect her to be appearing in a Scorsese movie anytime soon (There I go again... !)

We'll just ignore the fact that numerous actors belittle their art in various cameo appearances. (Grant, Hoskins & Cumming, I'm looking at you!) Notice I didn't include Roger Moore in that group. I didn't think it appropriate. After all, this is just his level.

If you are not a Spice Girls fan or if you expect something serious you are not gonna like this movie for ovbious reasons. People just want to slag them off cos they were huge and they made mistakes but don't care for what they represented, marketed or not.

But if you are a Spice Girls fan or like them you must have noticed that a lot of the things from this movie have become true, therefore it is really funny to watch it now a days... and find this hidden things.

Also if you've followed their solo carrers you must know that, they respected everything they used to stand for. This movie is full of good messages presented in a way for the young fan base that they had back then, people that now have grown up believing in good values that should come back.

Are they gonna make it in time for their performance?? We'll find out soon. ;)
