Hang on to your knickers, pump up your platforms and fasten your seat belts, because the Spice Girls - Emma Bunton (Baby Spice), Geri Halliwell (Ginger Spice), Melanie Brown (Scary Spice), Melanie Chisholm (Sporty Spice) and Victoria Addams (Posh Spice) - are taking center stage in their feature film debut "Spice World," a roller coaster ride which will spice up your life and open your eyes very wide!

Critics Consensus

Spice World's lack of cohesive plot will likely lose most viewers, but for fans of the titular girl group there's more than enough fun to be had in their wacky -- albeit superficial -- whirlwind of an adventure.

Can the Spice Girls act beyond their assigned personas? World doesn't stop spinning long enough to answer.

"What's the plot?" you may be asking. Well so am I.

A promotional tool that establishes its superfluousness simply by existing, this clumsy, smirking movie has a bitter soul.

1.5/4

The girls themselves sometimes have a chemistry, but are normally annoying paper-thin characters, but still quite fun.

2/5

The film would do well to trust the girls, who have great fun playing caricatures, rather than padding the film with a series of unconnected cameos. The result is a madcap, but often overwhelming comedy.

I was struck by how well it stands up-the pacing is better than you'd expect-and also how fantastical it is...

Endlessly funny, completely silly, totally light-hearted. This movie is pure nostalgic bliss. It is a time capsule of pure 90s enjoyment!

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom

Love it pure British camp , the girls take the mick out of harm selves and play up to just a funny light hearted movie. It wasn’t gonna win an Oscar but were they even trying too

Was a massive Spice Girls fan back in the day, so I recently rewatched for a but of nostalgia - painfully cringeworthy every step of the way! One star should suffice for the singalong bits

Honestly Spice World at this point is a nostalgia trip for the fans. This movie is a silly little fever dream, but it's very fun! The girls play up their personas, there is plenty of their old music in it. To me it definitely taps British Comedy but more so television than film just because of the variety. Either way it's a fun watch, if you're looking for something super cohesive skip it, if you're a fan looking for a giggle and to sing some of your favorite Spice Girl hits from the 90s watch it and don't forget the credits!
